Drastica reduccion en el numero de condominios en Sunny Isles actualmente a la venta para el Cuarto superior de propiedades.

Me preguntan si es momento para comprar. A lo cual respondo;

La demanda comienza a subir y los precios como muestra el cuadro arriba suben con ciertos altibajos. Vemos tendencias que indican una mejora anticipada de la situacion inmobiliaria en Miami. Aun encontramos oportunidades y dadas las tendencias creemos que en los proximos 6 meses, de continuar, estaremos con un inventario de propiedades a la venta mas reducido. Es ahi cuando los vendedores tienden a ponerse mas firmes y los precios a subir.

Aventura Real Estate News – Miami: Great time to buy

Another encouraging news from The Miami Herald

I want to share with you the story below.  The results of this study released by Trulia shows Miami as the #1 city in America where it is now more advantageous to buy than to rent.

With rental values strengthening across South Florida, contrasted against the best home values for purchase that we have seen in a decade, more and more of our residents are returning to home ownership.

Miami top big city to buy home now

It makes more sense to buy a home in Miami rather than to rent, according to a new report from Trulia, which ranks Miami as the nation’s top buyer’s market.

Is there any upside to having a sky-high foreclosure rate, double-digit unemployment and a tight credit market? According to a respected real estate firm, these elements help make Miami the top market in the nation to buy a home rather than to rent.

Miami has moved up two spots since last year to become the nation’s most attractive market to become a homeowner rather than renting, a new report by real estate research firm Trulia found. The study, released Monday, compared home prices and rental rates in the nation’s 50 largest cities to determine where homeownership made the most financial sense.

Potential buyers are starting to take note of South Florida’s shifting buy-vs.-rent dynamic. Arden Shank, director of Neighborhood Housing Services of South Florida, said first-time homebuyers from Broward and Miami-Dade counties are flooding his office.

We have more families coming through the homebuyers preparation process than we have ever had,” he said. A lot of people who were priced out of the market before can now afford to buy a home.”

Trulia came up with the ranking by comparing the cost of buying a median-priced 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with the cost of renting a similar property for a year. Cities were ranked as either “buy” or “rent” based on the ratio of buy-to-rent costs.

For example, the median-priced 2-bedroom in Miami costs $140,201, according to the website. To rent a 2-bedroom apartment for a year would cost $22,459, resulting in a buy-to-rent ratio of 6 (Trulia rounds to the nearest whole number). In other words, renting a home for six years would cost about as much as buying a home free-and-clear. The markets where it makes the least financial sense to buy — places like New York and Seattle — have buy-to-rent ratios as high as 31. Any ratio below 15 was considered a buyer’s market.

The report factors in costs associated with homeownership like interest, insurance, and property taxes. Even with the additional costs, buying a home is more affordable than renting in 72 percent of the nation’s largest cities. The cities where homeownership is a particularly desirable option are places struggling with high unemployment and foreclosures — areas like Phoenix, Jacksonville and Fresno.

Trulia found in the midst of the buyer’s market, renting is becoming more popular and more costly at the same time.

Since the start of the `Great Recession,’ many former homeowners have flooded the rental market. Following the principles of supply and demand, renting has become relatively more expensive than buying in most markets,” said Pete Flint, CEO and co-founder of Trulia, in a statement.
