According to a new report from Condo Vultures, more South Florida residences resold in 2010 than in the last year of the real estate boom in 2006 as buyers rushed in this year to take advantage of deep discounts on distressed properties and a government-funded $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit.

With a week left to go in this calendar year, nearly 75,000 single-family houses, condos, and townhouses - an average of 6,250 per month - have already resold in 2010 compared to less than 67,600 transactions - 5,600 per month - in 2006 in the same tricounty region of Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, according to Condo Vultures.

On a year-over-year basis, the number of resale transactions in 2010 is up 10.4 percent compared to 2009 when more than 67,800 transactions - 5,650 per month - occurred. South Florida resales totaled only 45,700 - 3,800 per month - in 2008 and nearly 47,600 - 4,000 per month - in 2007, according to the analysis based on Florida Association of Realtors data.

“Today’s South Florida real estate market is strictly a function of price, not emotion,” said Peter Zalewski, principal with the Bal Harbour, Fla.-based Condo Vultures. “Nearly 7,400 more residential resale transactions have occurred in the year 2010 than in the year 2006 due in large part to the current prices that are 40 percent less on average. Now, consider the widespread concerns that exist today about a possible double-dip or the lack of available financing, and then compare this mood to the bullish outlook and easy credit of 2006.”

The 2010 resale statistics suggest that investors continue to have an interest in South Florida residential real estate if priced correctly, industry watchers said.

South Florida’s residential resales for 2010 totaled nearly $16.6 billion, an increase of about $1billion from 2009.

As positive as the increase is, the news is not good for sellers trying to unload properties.

The 2010 total dollar amount for completed transactions is $10 billion less than in 2006 when gross resales reached nearly $26.9 billion, according to the report.

At the peak of the market, the average South Florida resale transacted at a price of $398,000 in 2006. In 2010, the average South Florida residential property resold for $221,200, representing a 44 percent discount compared to five years earlier.

Single-family houses resold for an average of $297,000 in 2010 compared to $502,000 in 2006. This is a 41 percent decrease in average pricing from the peak.

Thirteen of Florida’s metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) reported higher existing condo sales in November, according to Florida Realtors. The statewide existing condo median sales price last month was $88,200; in November 2009 it was $104,500 for a 16 percent decrease. However, November’s statewide existing condo median price was 7 percent higher than the statewide existing condo median of $82,400 in October. The national median existing condo price was $166,000 in October, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

Meanwhile, in the year-to-year comparison for existing home sales, a total of 11,900 single-family existing homes sold statewide last month compared to 13,961 homes sold in November 2009 for a decrease of 15 percent. Florida’s median existing-home sales price in November was $132,700; a year earlier, it was $139,300 for a decrease of 5 percent. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less.

The national median sales price for existing single-family homes in October was $171,100, down 0.5 percent from a year earlier, NAR reported. In California, the statewide median resales price was $304,220 in October; in Massachusetts, it was $294,000; in Maryland, it was $245,355; and in New York, it was $215,850.

Fisher Island - South Miami Beach

(MIAMI, FL) — According to the Florida Association of Realtors (FAR), statewide sales of existing condominiums in Florida rose 11 percent in November, with a total of 5,411 condos sold statewide compared to 4,860 units sold in November 2009.

But Fort Lauderdale sees drop

A home for sale in Coconut Grove

South Florida saw general increases in home values for May year-over-year, with the exception of Fort Lauderdale’s home market, which dropped by 6 percent.  

Florida realtors sold 70 percent more Miami condos last month than in May 2009.

There were 972 sales of condos in Miami by realtors last month, a significant jump over the 571 units sold in the same month last year, according to data from trade association Florida Realtors. The median sales price fell, however, to $126,100, a decline of 10 percent.

That price was still the third-highest median sales price in Florida, following state leader Sarasota-Bradenton and Fort Myers-Cape Coral.

Home sales also rose in South Florida, with 22 percent more homes sold in Miami and 20 percent more in the West Palm Beach-Boca Raton metro area. There were fewer home sales in the Fort Lauderdale metro area, however, a six percent decline over last year. 

In total, realtors sold 2,345 single-family homes in South Florida, along with 2,814 condo units last month.

Month-to-month, the median existing-home sales prices actually rose by $300 over April of this year.

While the implications of the spill on Florida’s real estate are not yet clear, the two most vulnerable metro areas, Panama City and Pensacola, both saw decreases from April in number of units sold and median sales prices. Although other metro areas saw mostly increases, it is not clear if this was due to the spill.

According to reports from Florida Realtors, the median sales price for Panama City homes in April was $160,000. In May, however, that number dropped to $138,000. Both numbers were significantly less than in the same periods in 2009.

As for condos, there were 65 units sold in Panama City in April, and there were just 53 sold in May. Pensacola’s condo sales dropped from 56 to 42.

1. Be Patient: There are many foreclosures to buy and another wave is expected this summer now that Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA and other banks have lifted their moratoriums.
2. Pick the right Realtor: There are a lot of great agents out there, but there are a lot of agents who just fire off emails of listings, with no knowledge of the real estate they are trying to sell. In order to buy real estate today, you and you’re agent need to work as a team, and be able to identify all the

It was — note the past tense — the worst housing recession anyone but survivors of the Great Depression can remember.
From the frenzied peak of the real estate boom in 2005-2006 to the recession’s trough earlier this year, home resales fell 38 percent and sales of new homes tumbled 76 percent. Construction of homes and apartments skidded 79 percent. And for the first time in more than four decades of record keeping, home prices posted consecutive annual declines.
