Palm Beach and Broward Counties Continue Positive Housing Trends: Homes For Sale: Homes For Rent

According to the Realtors Association of the Palm Beaches, Palm Beach County saw a 12% price increase in August 2012 over the previous year.  The sales of homes (i.e., units) were up 8% during the same timeframe for Palm Beach County.

According to the Greator Fort Lauderdale Realtors, a similar trend happened in Broward County, which saw prices increase 13% on a year-over-year basis in August 2012.  The sales of homes (i.e., units) were up 15% during the same timeframe for Broward County.

Sellers are enjoying the lower levels of inventory through higher prices.  Palm Beach County home inventory was about 44% on a year-over-year basis in August 2012,  according the the Sun-Sentinel.  The newspaper reported Broward County saw less than half of the number of homes for sale in August 2012 versus August 2011.

I have mentioned my recent experiences with clients that are similar to what the numbers that are being reported are telling us about the South Florida housing market.

Case Shiller Housing Index: July 2012: Positive Trends Continue

According to the Case Shiller Housing Index, prices increased by about 1.0% in July 2012 on a year-over-year basis and was up about 1.5% on a sequential basis during the same timeframe.

South Florida saw housing prices increase by 5.3% on a year-over-year in July 2012, according to the Case Shiller Index; the sequential movement was positive 2.1%. 

This is what David Blitzer, Chairman of the Index Committee at S & P said: “Home prices increased again in July. All 20 cities and both Composites were up on the month for the third time in a row. Even better, 16 of the 20 cities and both Composites rose over the last year."

He went on to say “The news on home prices in this report confirm recent good news about housing." "All in all, we are more optimistic about housing."

I continue to see shrinking inventory levels and continued interest in the markets that I serve.  When discussing the current market with other real estate professionals, they seem upbeat.  I recently talked with a person heading up a mortgage division.  He seemed encouraged by what he is seeing in the market.
