Where's all the excess inventory? Here are the stats for Broward County, Florida as of today.
Amazing, we went from around 36,000 homes/condos for sale last year about this time to 25,593 as of today.
Yes, we still have 13.5 months of inventory, however it's better now than it was a year ago at about 26 months.
Here is the breakdown:
In Broward County, Florida:
Homes for sale: 9,791 are for sale and 536 are REO's (bank owned properties)
Condos for sale: 15,802 are for sale and 675 are REO's
There are 7,920 rentals according to the MLS this evening.
My point is, residences are selling and have been this past year in south east Florida.
We have eliminated approximately 29% of the inventory this past year in Broward County, FL.
Here are the short sale stats in Broward County, FL:
Homes: of the 9,791 homes for sale, 3,289 are in short sale status.
Condos: of the 15,802 condos for sale, 5,095 are in short sale status.
So, are we selling here, YES!
Of the 25,593 residences for sale - 8,384 are in short sale status of 25,593 residences (meaning a home or a condo).
That in a nut shell reflects 32.7% of homes for sale are in short sale status.
Those 8,384 residences will be in foreclosure, then listed as bank owned properties (REO's) in the future.
When, who knows...
That's the local Broward County, Florida scoop.
