However living so close to the border of Miami-Dade &amp; Broward (literally walking distance), I have for a long time now worked &amp; played in Broward County.  Both counties have great attributes, after all <strong>South Florida in itself is a tropical paradise<\/strong> which I am lucky enough to call home.   I love both counties &amp; it will really depend on which suits your lifestyle the best.  Below is a statistical view on the real estate market in both areas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current market conditions in Miami-Dade are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewmrealestate.com\/blog\/2007\/10\/12\/the-great-debate-should-you-live-in-miami-dade-or-broward\/miami-dade-graph-to-sept-07\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4309\" title=\"miami dade graph to sept 07\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.ewmrealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/230\/files\/2007\/10\/miami-dade-tgchartimage.jpg\" title=\"miami dade graph to sept 07\" alt=\"miami dade graph to sept 07\" width=\"448\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As you can see Miami-Dade&#8217;s market is currently a Buyer&#8217;s Market.  There has been a steady increase of inventory &amp; <strong>the median home\/condo sales price is $310,000 in Miami-Dade<\/strong>.  With inventory continuing to increase &amp; sales sagging, I do expect the market to continue to be sluggish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current market conditions for Broward are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewmrealestate.com\/blog\/2007\/10\/12\/the-great-debate-should-you-live-in-miami-dade-or-broward\/broward-graph-up-to-907\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4310\" title=\"broward graph up to 9\/07\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.ewmrealestate.com\/blog\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/230\/files\/2007\/10\/broward-tgchartimage.jpg\" title=\"broward graph up to 9\/07\" alt=\"broward graph up to 9\/07\" width=\"448\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>My biggest surprise in comparing the two counties was noticing that Broward county&#8217;s inventory has been higher than that of Miami-Dade&#8217;s for some time, however in September of 2007, the inventory levels are almost the same.  However, Broward sales are also slightly stronger than that of Miami-Dade&#8217;s.  Another point of interest is that <strong>the median price of a home\/condo in Broward is $260,000, significantly lower than Miami-Dade<\/strong>.  It seems overall you may make the better investment by selecting Broward county.  Note that both areas have a sluggish market &amp; the real estate market in all of South Florida will continue to have challenges in the following year.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is for Buyers in both Miami-Dade &amp; Broward: <strong>If 2008 is not the year you buy in, you could be missing out on the same opportunities that Sellers had in 2003-04<\/strong>. The deals are yours for the taking!<\/p>\n<p>It is not all bad news for Sellers, however now more than ever, working with <em>an experienced Realtor<\/em> that can advise you on the statistics for your individual neighborhood &amp; help you determine the best price for your home, will be essential.
