South Florida Inventory drops 21%, contracts jump 66% in 6 months
South Florida's residential resale inventory has dropped 21 percent and pending sales have spiked nearly 66 percent in the last six months in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, according to a new report by Condo Vultures® LLC.
There were 84,962 condominium units, townhouses, and single-family houses available for resale on Monday, May 25, compared to 107,527 residences listed for resale the week of Thanksgiving.
South Florida pending sales totaled 15,399 on May 25 compared to 9,302 contracts on Nov. 24, according to the Condo Vultures® report based on Florida Association of Realtors data.
"In the last six months, we have seen inventory decrease by between 1 percent and 2 percent on a week-over-week basis," said Peter Zalewski, a principal with the Bal Harbour, Fla.-based real estate consultancy Condo Vultures®. "During the same period, pending sales have consistently increased by between 1 percent and 3.5 percent on a weekly basis since November. This trend suggests that summer - which historically is a quiet period - looks to be active."
Miami-Dade County, where Miami Beach, Coral Gables, and Sunny Isles Beach are located, has
the greatest number of available residential resale properties with 32,133, or 38 percent of the tri-county regional total. The inventory in Miami-Dade has dropped 21.6 percent in the last six months from 40,994 properties on Nov. 24, according to the report.
Broward County, where Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood Beach, and Pompano Beach are located, has the second largest share of available residential properties in South Florida with 27,669, or 33 percent of the regional total. In November, Broward County had 36,926 residences for resale.
Palm Beach County, where West Palm Beach, Boca Raton, and Delray Beach are located, has the fewest number of properties available for resale with 25,160, or 30 percent of the regional total. On Nov. 24, Palm Beach County had 29,607 properties available for resale, according to the report On a deal basis, Broward County is the busiest place in the region.
Pending sales in Broward are up 80 percent in the last six months to 5,934 contracts on May 25 compared to 3,295 deals on Nov. 24.
Pending sales in Miami-Dade are up 60 percent to 6,789 deals on May 25 compared to 4,245 contracts six months ago.

South Florida Inventory Falls 1.8% To 92,000 Homes
The number of single-family houses, condominium units, and townhouses on the market in South Florida decreased by 1.8 percent on a week-over-week basis ending April 6, according to a new report from Condo Vultures® LLC.

Pending sales on single-family houses during that same period have increased by 41.3 percent to 6,879 on April 6 compared to 4,868 houses in November, according to the report.
