in Miami-Dade County During 2013
Company is #1 in both total number of units sold & dollar volume of units sold
MIAMI (January 31, 2014) – The year 2013 was a watershed year for million-dollar plus properties in Miami-Dade County, and EWM Realty International, one of the largest real estate services firms in America, and a South Florida exclusive affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, was at the forefront of the expansive growth.
The 50-year residential real estate brokerage firm was number one in Miami-Dade County once again last year for the total number of million-dollar-plus residences sold, as well as total dollar volume.
According to data from the Southeast Florida Regional Multiple Listing Service (MLS), EWM had a total of 420 single-family home and condo sales in excess of $1 million for the period of January 1– December 31, 2013, reflecting $900 million in total sales. That number is 26% higher than its next closest competitor who had 334. The remaining top five brokers had a total of 295, 162 and 96 sales, respectively.
“The sale of million dollar-plus homes and condos grew by 27% in 2013 vs. 2012, “ said EWM President & CEO Ron Shuffield. “The ongoing impact of the international buyer, evolving markets such as China, and a sharp increase in the number of buyers from the northeast, continued to further South Florida’s appeal as a truly global market.”
“Miami-Dade’s million-dollar plus market has been rapidly evolving,” continues Shuffield. “With exponential growth of art and cultural offerings, the region has hit its stride in the global residential real estate arena.”
A recent report from Christie’s International Real Estate, titled ‘Atlantic Insights,’ includes Miami with New York and London as three of the most vibrant world cities currently attracting the globally affluent buyer.
In the period 2003 to 2013, the number of million dollar-plus homes and condominiums that have been sold in Miami-Dade has grown three-fold, from 628 annual sales at year-end 2003, to 1,918 at year end 2013.
