Miami Beach Q1 2020 Real Estate Report

South of Fifth

The South of Fifth condominium market showed signicant quarterly losses in number of closed sales (-11%) though, average sale prices decreased less (-9.8%) for the rst quarter of 2020. With this, we observe a 23.5% increase in the absorption period, from 21 to 26 months. Accounting for over 46% of all sales, up from 36% last quarter, two-bedroom condominiums played a signicant role in the decrease of median and average gures from last quarter (Q4, 2019). With international macro- economics pushing the US Dollar Index (DXY) to new highs, expect a narrower buyer pool and longer marketing times. Buyers should take advantage of growing inventory, uncertainty, lack of buyers for larger properties, and listing discounts averaging 12%. Sellers should price their properties competitively to attract the increasingly selective buyer.
