WILL HOME PRICES DROP IN 2023 ?

Surging mortgage rates have put some much-needed pressure on the housing market in recent months after home prices hit record highs across the nation. But as mortgage rates have begun to decline in recent weeks, many economists are mixed about whether home prices will continue their slow decline through 2023–or crash.

The nation’s overall housing supply remains limited, as those who purchased homes in recent years at extremely low mortgage rates are staying put. This tight inventory has kept prices from seeing deeper declines, making homes still unaffordable for many, especially first-time homebuyers.

Even though home prices remain high year-over-year, they’re not as eye-popping as they were earlier this year. How far home prices dip in 2023 will likely depend on.…READ MORE

The Current Miami Springs Market

TIME TO BUY OR SELL?
CALL US FOR AN EVALUATION

There are thirty-one (31) active listings in the MS/VG market again this week; no change from last week. The inventory had averaged approximately 30 listings the last month. I expect continued increases in the months ahead. Pending sales have slowed. A definite sign that sales have slowed down. Values remain fairly strong in Miami Springs and Virginia Gardens, but we have had some price decreases. Despite interest rate increases, there are still many qualified Buyers out there, BUT as rates increase, there WILL be fewer Buyers! The market is starting to transition, and Sellers are no longer in the driver's seat. Please refer to the articles posted on our website.

Thirty (30) of the active listings are priced over $500,000. Three (3) properties are listed between 1-2 million dollars. Two (2) are listed for OVER 2 million dollars! Eleven (11) of the active listings have had a price reduction; one this week. We have been transitioning to a more neutral, perhaps, Buyer's market due to increased inventory, decreased demand, and higher mortgage interest rates. More interest rate increases are coming in the next month, which means fewer Buyers and likely increases in inventory.

DEMAND IS SLOWING!

Mortgage interest rates are between 6% and 7% this week. There are still serious qualified Buyers looking for the right property. Timing is everything! Multiple offers are less common and days properties are staying on the market are increasing (43 DOM). The demand remains high for properties under $500,000. There is one (1) listing just under $500,000. The low inventory at entry-level and higher interest rates make it difficult for most first-time Buyers. One (1) property is priced between $400,000-$500,000. Five (5) properties are priced between $500,000-$600,000; nine (9) between $600,000-$700,000; six (6) between $700,000-$800,000; two (2) between $800,000-$900,000; three (3) between $900,000-$1,000,000; three (3) between $1-2 million; and two (2) are listed for over $2 million.

SELLERS, THIS IS THE MOMENT TO PRICE IT RIGHT!
Increasing Inventory + Increasing Interest Rates = Less Demand.

During the period of December 23, 2022 through December 30, 2022, there were reported 2 new listings, 1 closed sale, 1 pending sale, 0 active with contract, 0 expired listings, 0 cancelled listings, 0 temp off market, 1 price reduction, and 0 price increases.
