South Florida residential real estate inventory dropped by 1.1 percent in the last week, dragging the total number of resales available down to 81,159 properties, according to a new report from Condo Vultures® LLC.
Residential resale inventory slipped by 888 properties between June 15 and June 22 for an average decreased of 127 properties per day. On June 1, there were 83,491 residential resales on the market in the tri-county region of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, according to the report compiled using data from the Florida Association of Realtors.
"The single-family house inventory is shrinking at a faster pace than the condo and townhouse market," said Peter Zalewski, a principal with Bal Harbour, Fla.-based real estate consultancy Condo Vultures®. "Condo and townhouses now represent about 61 percent of the total South Florida inventory. Back in November, condos and townhouses represented 57 percent of the overall residential inventory in South Florida."
On a county-by-county basis, Broward has the fewest number of single-family houses available for resale with 10,179 properties, or 32 percent of the total South Florida inventory of 32,125.
Miami-Dade and Palm Beach are in a tie in percentage terms with each accounting for 34 percent of the remaining single-family house inventory. Palm Beach, with a population of about 1.1 million, has 10,888 houses for sale compared to 11,058 houses on the resale market in Miami-Dade, with a population of 2.5 million, according to the Condo Vultures® report.
