Miami Condo Prices Spike 28% in Q3 Over Last Year

(Miami, FL) -- According to the Miami Association of Realtors, the performance of the Miami-Dade County residential real estate market continues to create opportunities for sellers, as limited supply and strong demand consistently yield significant price appreciation.

Median and Average Sales Prices

The median sales price for single-family homes in Miami-Dade County rose 5.06 percent to $189,000 in the third quarter of 2012 compared to the third quarter of 2011, and 2.2 percent compared to the second quarter of 2012. The median sales price for condominiums was $145,000, an increase of 28 percent year-over-year.

"The Miami real estate market continues to perform remarkably well despite the shortage of housing inventory that is limiting potential sales," said Martha Pomares, 2012 Chairman of the Board of the Miami Association of Realtors. "Such performance is reflective of the strong demand being fueled by both U.S. and international buyers.  Buyer interest will continue to positively impact our market long into the future."

Year-over-year, the average sales prices for single-family homes and condominiums increased 6.2 percent to $347,716 and 19.3 percent to $276,883, respectively.

Nationally, the median sales price of existing single-family homes was $186,100 in the third quarter, up 7.6 percent from the third quarter of 2011, according to the National Association of Realtors.  The national median sales price for condominiums was $180,800, a 7.7 percent increase over the previous year.
