Fewer Than 10,000 Houses For Resale In Greater Miami

Greater Miami, the epicenter of the Florida housing crash, now has fewer than 10,000 single-family houses for resale following a 1.5 percent drop in inventory in the last week, according to a new report from Condo Vultures® LLC.

In Miami-Dade County there are 9,998 single-family houses for resale, down from 10,154 houses on July 27 and 10,301 houses on July 20. Back in November, there were 16,554 houses for resale in Miami-Dade County during the week of Thanksgiving, according to the Condo Vultures® report produced using Florida Association of Realtors data.

"First-time home buyers and investors are buying up appropriately priced homes," said Peter Zalewski, a principal with the Bal Harbour, Fla.-based real estate consultancy Condo Vultures®. "All things being equal, buyers are opting for single-family homes at a greater rate than condominium units and townhouses."

Of the 75,792 residences for resale in the tricounty South Florida region, single-family houses account for 39 percent, or 29,408, of the total inventory. Condominium units and townhouses account for the remaining 61 percent, or 46,384 resales, according to the report.

On a county-by-county basis, Palm Beach leads the region with the greatest number of single-family houses for resale with 10,202. Miami-Dade is second, and Broward is third with 9,208 single-family houses for resale.
