Home prices have increased in Broward and Palm Beach counties

Florida property management revealed that the value of homes in Broward and Palm Beach has appreciated. This is due to a shortage of listings and a more stable economy.

Approximately 6% higher from June 2015. In Miami-Dade, the median price for an existing single family home is 315,000, this is 13% higher compared to last year.

Realtors and property managers have observed that although home prices have consistently appreciate since the start of 2012, the pace is slowing down. This is good news for buyers who want to invest in South Florida real estate.

In Palm Beach, the number of single-family listings last June has increased by 9%. Despite the increase, buyers across South Florida have a limited supply of homes which range from $250,000 to $500,000.

Eli Beracha, a professor of real estate investment at Florida International University explained that the slowdown in price appreciation is a good indicator that the housing market is not over heated. He further stated that the overall economy is healthy and there is no need to panic.
