U.S. Existing-Home Sales Drop 2.7% in April

Existing-home sales waned in April, marking three straight months of declines, according to the National Association of Realtors® (NAR). All but one of the four major U.S. regions tracked by NAR saw month-over-month drops in home sales, but each also registered double-digit year-over-year gains for April, in part due to the rise of the pandemic one year ago.

Total existing-home sales – completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops – slipped 2.7% from March to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 5.85 million in April. “Home sales were down again in April from the prior month, as housing supply continues to fall short of demand,” says Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “We’ll see more inventory come to the market later this year as further COVID-19 vaccinations are administered and potential home sellers become more comfortable listing and showing their homes.

A GREAT TIME TO SELL!!

SELLERS, THIS IS THE MOMENT! SELL NOW!

The inventory remains low. There are only 15 active listings. This again is one of the lowest levels I can recall in my years of experience selling real estate in Miami Springs and Virginia Gardens. The market continues to be very dynamic with many buyers and that is great news for Sellers. The Buyers are out there! Please refer to the articles posted on our website.

Twelve (12) listings are priced over $500,000. Two (2) properties are listed over $1,000,000. One (1) active listing has had a price reduction (0 this week). We are still in a strong Sellers' market with low inventory and high demand.

The market is going to change!
Likely increased inventory, with increased foreclosures coming later this year.

MULTIPLE OFFERS CONTINUE AND LISTINGS KEEP SELLING OVER LIST PRICE!!

Mortgage interest rates remain historically low, and there are serious Buyers buying. Timing is everything! The demand is high, especially for properties under $400,000. There are currently no listings under $400,000. A lack of inventory makes it difficult for most first-time Buyers. Competition from multiple offers have become quite common. Three (3) properties are priced between $400,000-$500,000; five (5) properties are priced between $500,000-$700,000; three (3) properties are priced between $700,000-$800,000; and four (4) properties are priced between $800,000 and over $1 million.
