Dear Groveites,
63 homes were for sale as of April 1, 2021, compared to 113 at the beginning of the year, a 44% decrease.
Coconut Grove real estate sales activity delivered an astonishing performance during the first quarter of the year.
123 condos were available as of April 1, 2021, compared to 174 at the beginning of the year, a 29% decrease.
Single-family home sales volume was three times higher than last year.
The high demand combined with historical low inventory will continue to push real estate values upward.
The number of homes sold doubled compared to last year.
For how long? It will all depend on buyers coming from the four corners of the country keeping their investments in Miami and how the pandemic continues to reorder buyer priorities.
The condo market also delivered impressive sales results with a booming median sold price. In both markets, cash transactions dominated all transactions.
The second quarter of 2021 already looks very promising. Contact us if you have any questions or are thinking of introducing your property to the market.
The available inventory for sale keeps shrinking.
Regards, Isabelle and Alba
