Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay and Cuttler Bay Real Estate Market Update

Do you remember when 4 years ago real estate foreclosure homes were in the market for month and months? Now, thanks to foreign buyers and investors the market had made a big turned around.
 
In our state the real estate market has had a positive performance and it will continue, rising number of sales and increasing the home value between 10-12% to this year according to Dr. John Tuccillo, chief economist for Florida Realtors.

Florida is a privileged state for its weather and experts are expecting retirees moving to Florida without mentioning working middle age families.

Dr.Tuccillo says investors and international buyers will be buying fewer properties since the prices are not too attractive and that we have less supply available in the market, but at the same time new condominium construction will increase.

In addition, the mortgage interest rates have been increasing little by little, but we still have a good rate.

Today’s mortgage rate interest is 4.38% 30 Yr. comparing with February last year 3.76% year fixed rate.

Below you will find the last closed sales in 2013 of the cities of Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay, check out the chart.

Palmetto Bay Events

Last Monday we honored all who have served our country, thanks to the volunteers in Palmetto Bay our veterans can enjoy free yoga class.

 

The effects of an overseas deployment can often last for years. Soldiers often have unwelcome thoughts, emotions and memories. Yoga techniques can be used to recall whole, healthy and intact memories that have not been touched by trauma.

 

This class focuses on learning skills proved to help you connect to the present—leaving anxiety behind while learning to feel safe and in control. By lowering your hyper-vigilance and your reaction to noise and stress, you will sleep better and have more control over your emotions. For active, inactive and retired military members and their families. Free.
