Hows the Market

First principle: Supply and demand is like a seesaw.

sellers market

Seller Advantage

Low inventory creates upward pressure on values. The SELLER has the advantage.  Time (meaning at least the next year or two) is on the side of the seller.  

balanced market

Stable Values - Balanced Market

If inventory and demand are balanced, values are normally stable. Neither buyers nor sellers have an advantage.  This type of market normally doesn’t last very long. 

buyers market

Buyer Advantage

Low inventory creates downward pressure on values. The BUYER has the advantage.  Time (meaning at least the next year or two) is on the side of the buyer.  


Buyer's market

In this type of market, most of the properties for sale are actually priced OUT of the market, and have no real chance of selling. In order to be priced IN the market, sellers in a buyer's market must price much more competitively and aggressively than their neighbors. Only the very best deals will sell.

Seller Market

This is the type of market most Sellers in south Florida are accustomed to. Most of the homes for sale are priced IN the market.  Prices for similar properties are in a smaller range.  Only those that are severely overpriced are priced OUT of the market.

Understanding YOUR specific market

Affordability is suffering in our area due to increased sale prices, high properties taxes and expensive insurance.  Keep in mind, real estate is often more local than the weather.  For example: it is possible to have a neighborhood of single homes next to a condominium complex.  If it rains they will both get wet. However, values could be going up in one due to low inventory while values in the other are flat or going down due to high inventory, assessments, etc.
Condo's and co-ops -  The condo (and co-op) market has more variables to consider than the market for single family houses or townhomes. Oceanfront locations, 55+ complexes, assessments, reserves, minimum down payments, pending lawsuits and other factors can create unique markets for individual buildings or complexes.

It should be noted that the large difference between the average asking price and the average sale price is because there are always more unsold homes in higher price ranges.  This is not the difference between what most sellers list and sell for.

What about a crash?

Seller Market

When most people hear "crash" they think of 2008. This was Broward County's real estate market in 2007 and 2008. We also had a tidal wave of foreclosures! Mortgage rates were over 6% and "No-Doc" loans were not unusual. ***This is what a REAL crash looks like.***

Current Inventory is still below 2019 pre-Covid levels
