| Realtors must be working extra hard to sell these homes. |
Miami was the strongest single-family market in Florida, with state sales rising only 37 percent. Nationally, condo sales rose only 7.2 percent.
The number of days a property languishes on the market and number of houses for sale is also decreasing. The average property stayed on the market for 112 days, a drop of 6.1 percent from last years. Listings in MLS dropped 50 percent in the past 12 months, and 5.78 percent this month.
Wow, this all sounds great! But wait, there's bad news. Of course there is. The median sales price for both single-family homes and condos dropped 40 percent from the previous year. The median price for a home in Miami-Dade was $192,700, and $108,300 for a condo.
The average home goes for $280,224, while $228,163 will get you your average condo.
