The Current Miami Springs Market

A GREAT TIME TO SELL!

Listings increased to 14 active listings in the MS/VG market this week. A small increase in inventory this week, but still historically low. Inventory has averaged under 18 listings the last several months, which makes the market very tight for Buyers. The average sale price dipped below $600,000 last week! Should we worry? Prices remain very strong in Miami Springs and Virginia Gardens. Though the market is still favorable for Sellers, the Buyers are out there—sell now! Please refer to the articles posted on our website.

Twelve (12) listings are priced over $500,000. One (1) property is listed over $1,000,000. Five (5) active listings have had a price reduction (0 this week). We remain in a strong Sellers' market with high demand, and higher interest rates coming in 2022. Some increased inventory is on the horizon!

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

Mortgage interest rates have started to increase but remain historically low. There are still serious Buyers looking for the right property. Timing is everything! The demand is high, especially for properties between $400,000-$450,000. And the low inventory of properties in this range makes it difficult for most first-time Buyers, with competition from multiple offers expected. There are no properties listed under $400,000. Two (2) properties are priced between $400,000-$500,000; six (6) properties are priced between $500,000-$600,000; one (1) property is priced between $600,000-$700,000; two (2) properties are priced between $700,000-$800,000; there are no properties priced between $800,000-$900,000; two (2) properties are priced between $900,000-$1 million; and one (1) property is priced over $1 million.
