Miami-Dade County’s shortsale market is currently a buyers market with about 10.5 months of supply currently listed for sale in South Florida, according to an analysis by CondoVulturesRealty.com.
In the first nine months of 2023, buyers purchased an average of less than one unit per month for a total of six units between January and September.
Based on the currently actively listings in the Multiple Listing Service – a database used by Realtors to market condos – neither the buyers or sellers have an advantage over buyers based on the supply available for purchase.
Generally, six months of supply is considered equilibrium for the South Florida housing market. Less months indicates a sellers market and more months points to a buyers market from a negotiating perspective.
Currently, the average asking price for a shortsale condo is $342,857 per unit compared to an average sales price of $231,254 per unit. Pending sales went under contract at an average asking price of $218,489 per unit.
On a price per square foot basis, the average asking price for a shortsale condo is $413 psf compared to an average sales price of $260 psf. Pending sales went under contract at an average asking price of $203 psf.
To gauge buyer sentiment, we focus on the Days On Market (DOM) category to better understand how purchasers are proceeding. If buyers are optimistic, the number of days an active listing is on the market should be similar or less than the average period of time for deals to date. If buyers are bearish, the DOM category will show active listing sitting on the market longer.
To gauge seller sentiment, we focus on the spread between the average asking price and the average transaction price on a per unit and per square foot basis. Generally, a spread of up to 20 percent suggests that a seller is willing to negotiate to complete a deal. Anything greater than 20 percent suggests that sellers are overly bullish on their prospects of selling their units at a premium.
