Palmetto Bay Homes For Sale Clarification

Sticking My Two Cents InI read this nbc6.net article the other day and can go along with most of what’s being said. I have to take issue with one small item there though. Zip code 33157 is touted as being Palmetto Bay and while a part of Palmetto Bay is certainly in zip code 33157, 33157 also encompasses parts of Cutler Bay as well as Miami.

This minor detail will make a difference in the way Palmetto Bay listings are viewed. The article states that there are 758 listings in 33157 which is Palmetto Bay. While there are 758 listings in 33157, only 197 of those are in Palmetto Bay. The rest are in Cutler Bay and Miami. As a matter of fact, the entire Village of Palmetto Bay has only 254 single family homes listed for sale at this very moment, which is considerably less than the 758 attributed in the article.

I’m not denying the overall point of the article. It is a great time to pick up a great home at a great price. And using a knowledgeable REALTOR® to guide you makes sense. Oh, and we are paid by the seller usually, so it doesn’t cost you anything. Now doesn’t that sound sweet?

It's great that you are able to correct the news...it shows how well you know your market and why not to rely on them!

Maggie, obviously you think that the news should be reported correctly.  Haven't you learned by know that it is all about readership, and stating misleading statistics like 758 listings is far more eye catching then the true 197 listings.  So come on how are these guys going to increase their readership if they started reporting the truth, when deceiving people is far more effective :)
