Surfside Real Estate Market Report for 2016

If you are thinking of buying or selling a home in Surfside, it’s key to stay on top of the real estate market.  But even if you are not, paying close attention to fluctuations in the market helps you stay informed and helps you make better financial decisions.  We are here to be an informative resource to our clients and by doing so, we help you be better prepared when you are ready to buy or sell.

The news is that we are in a shifting market and many areas in Miami are already in buyer’s markets.  Surfside is not one of those areas.  Surfside remains a seller’s market with little inventory and high demand.  Prices continue to appreciate, although at a slower pace.

The super luxury real estate market continues to move very slowly, but that happens to be a small part of Surfside’s sale inventory.

There were 38 Surfside homes sold in 2016 and 2 of those were waterfront.  The average price per square foot is the big winner though.
