Many active listings have had a price reduction. What does this mean? Usually, the property was overpriced from the beginning. Also sellers are recognizing the market is changing. Prices are not increasing as fast as the last several years. Sellers don’t want to miss potential buyers and deal with increased competition.
The Miami Springs and Virginia Gardens markets continue to be very strong. The demand is high for any property under $400,000. The inventory levels are rather steady for the moment.
How long will this sellers’ market last? A shift is on its way. Sellers should really evaluate their position in the market in order to realize a sale quickly. It is still a good time to sell. Prices remain strong. Interest rates are still low. There is a Buyer’s market waiting in the wings!
