It’s amazing how much the market has changed in the past fifteen months.
Since one year ago, the number of active listings is down 1.7% while the sold properties are down 11.1% compared to last year.
The pended are down 4%. When the PENDED LISTINGS indicator is rising, our market is in recovery. Even though we are 4% down from last year, we are up 14.3% compared to last month. Contracts have been written and are anticipated to close.
Average home prices are up 8.3% compared to last year. The price per square foot of a single-family residence, is approximately $168 per square foot – which is an increase of 3.7% over last year.
Part of the reason for the increase of inventory: Homes remain on the market an average of 110 days — an increase of 115% over last year. Homes are selling within 96% of their originally listed price. That is an indicator that there may be fewer price reductions and/or homes are selling in fairly short order from when they were listed. This may be partly due to TRID*.
The average listed price in Pembroke Pines (Zip Code 33028) is $483,000 — an 8.3% increase over last year. The average sold price is $447,000 – an increase of 18.9%.
Important information: Months of Inventory. Currently, Zip Code 33028 (single family homes built after 1995) is experiencing 3.7 months of inventory which is indicative of a Seller’s market. This is a 12% increase from a year ago. However, regardless of the fact that the inventory increased 12% over last year, we are so low in inventory, that the 12% is not that significant! That is why we are still in a Seller’s market.
It is time to list, time to sell, time to upsize, time to downsize — money is still inexpensive to borrow.
