list agent cooper city: WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH HOUSING PRICES TODAY?
- 08/30/22 08:11 AM
One of the biggest questions people are asking right now is: what’s happening with home prices? There are headlines about ongoing price appreciation, but at the same time, some sellers are reducing the price of their homes. That can feel confusing and makes it more difficult to get a clear picture.
Part of the challenge is that it can be hard to understand what experts are saying when the words they use sound similar. Let’s break down the differences among those terms to help clarify what’s actually happening today.
Appreciation is when home prices increase. Depreciation is when home prices decrease. Deceleration is when home prices continue … (4 comments)

list agent cooper city: 3 REASONS TO BE OPTIMISTIC FOR HOUSING IN 2021
- 12/16/20 12:27 PM
This year will be remembered for many reasons, and optimism is one thing that’s been in short supply since the spring. We’re experiencing a global pandemic, social unrest, an economic downturn, and natural disasters, just to name a few. The challenges brought on by the health crisis have also forced many homeowners to reevaluate their space and what they need in a home going into 2021. So, experts are forecasting that next year is one in which we can be optimistic about real estate for three key reasons.

list agent cooper city: SOUTH FLORIDA HOMEBUYERS: ARE YOUR EXPECTATIONS REALISTIC?
- 08/15/15 11:35 PM
Buying any home is a huge decision. Given the run-up in local home prices during the past 2 years, it's also an increasingly expensive decision. Making this process more daunting, the South Florida residential market is presently considered a Sellers' market, with less than 6 months' worth of inventory available for sale. As a result, Buyers are facing any or all of the following: low number of available homes on the market in their price ranges, multiple offer scenarios ("bidding wars") for the attractive home listings and offers coming in above list price with few, if any, contingencies from buyers.
Following are some suggestions for Home Buyers to … (0 comments)

- 06/02/15 04:19 AM
Following is a snapshop of the March 2015 quarter for sales of single family homes in Broward County, Fl:
Source: Miami Association of Realtors with data provided by Florida's Multiple listing Services
The chart confirms what those of us in the field know: there have been fewer cash sales, and higher median and sales prices in 2015 versus the same period in 2014. While the chart notes a slightly higher number of active listings (most of which are priced above $300,000), the market remains solidly a Seller's market with just 5.1 months supply of inventory (6 months' supply is considered a 'balanced' market). Not surprisingly, bidding wars … (0 comments)

- 04/10/15 05:27 AM
South Florida is renowned for its sunshine, beaches and golf courses. Everyone wants a little piece of this paradise. But with the region already highly developed and robust demand from foreign & local buyers, developers are dealing with a new problem: scarcity of developable land. The only large tracts of land available for residential housing are concentrated in the city of Parkland, in Northwest Broward county. Meanwhile, throughout the rest of the county, several golf courses have been purchased by large construction companies for housing developments, in some cases, after contentious court battles waged by city officials and/or residents of neighboring subdivisions, who opposed the development.

list agent cooper city: SOUTH FLORIDA CASE-SHILLER INDEX SHOWS PRICES UP
- 04/01/15 09:48 AM
The Case-Shiller Index just confirmed what those of us selling homes in the South Florida region already know: housing prices in Palm Beach, Broward & Miami-Dade counties continue to increase. In January 2015, prices for single family homes increased 8.3% compared to the same period one year ago, as reported by the index. Reasons for the higher prices cited by Case-Shiller and local realty pundits include low inventory levels, influx of foreign buyers looking for 'safe havens' for their money & low mortgage loan interest rates. With prices rising much faster than annual income, affordability is now a greater concern; as a result, serious Buyers are seeking value, and … (1 comments)

Anyone who lives or works in, or visits Pembroke Pines, Fl knows that communities built in the past 20 years are, with rare exceptions, gated communities. On major holidays, it's impressive to drive past some of the largest such developments and notice the long line of vehicles waiting for entry.

- 02/19/15 11:21 PM
Brrr! OK, it's not Chicago or Boston, but for South Florida, the temperature drop to the mid 30's last night qualifed as an epic weather event! It hasn't been this cold since 2010. Inland communities such as Southwest Ranches, Pembroke Pines & Cooper City, Fl. felt colder than cities directly along the coast, which are warmed by the beach. While locals took out sweaters & space heaters, and sipped hot chocolate, intrepid tourists walked along the beach and considered the 50s degrees daytime weather as an early spring.
Admittedly, compared to pretty much anywhere else, our weather remains balmy since it doesn't include … (14 comments)

list agent cooper city: BROWARD COUNTY, FL. HOME PRICES-NOV.2014
- 12/26/14 07:01 AM
The Greater Ft. Lauderdale Realtors board reported this week that the median price for existing Broward County homes sold in November 2014 was $267,000, a 1% drop from the median price in November 2013. Overall, sales also dropped to 1,008, from 1,073 reported in November 2013 or a 6% decline. The sales pace in 2014 is clearly cooler than the 2013 frenzy. Local real estate professionals & pundits believe that the numbers reveal a market that continues to stabilize from the torrid Sellers' market that started in late 2012. Buyers are more careful & less likely to engage in bidding wars for homes.
Still, the single family … (0 comments)
