Percentage of Distressed Sales in Miami and Broward Counties

For my friend John who asked me about how many homes in our marketplace are either short sales or foreclosures.   Our market is different than what’s happening nationwide, however our news is not all bad.   The percentage of distressed sales is still decreasing even here in Broward and Miami-Dade counties..

Nationally, distressed property sales represent 11% of sales

August2014-54

 

Here in Miami and Broward Counties (this graph represents Single Family Homes only. The figures for condo’s are similar.)

Ten Hidden Hazards When Buying Foreclosures

Buying a foreclosed home can seem like a dream. Deals sound like they’re too good to be true.  But there are some hidden dangers in buying foreclosed properties that could be disheartening and disappointing if you’re not aware of them.

Distressed sales plummeting as inventory is absorbed

With so much talk in the news about the Shadow Inventory of homes I wanted to take a moment to look at the data to see if the hype is living up to reality.

What we’re seeing is that the states that were hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis, namely Florida in particular, actually worked through their foreclosed inventory more quickly than other parts of the country and it appears that lenders are doing a good job of selling off their REO inventory rather efficiently.

We’ve seen lenders doing a great job of selling their inventory both through retail channels (listing with Realtors who are placing the homes for sale through the MLS and traditional marketing) and through bulk sales to investors.

http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/business/real-estate/nearly-700-florida-foreclosures-sold-in-bulk-to-pr/nR7LM/

We’re seeing the percentage of distressed sales decrease dramatically as a percentage of all homes sold.   Nationwide figures indicate that distressed properties are currently 21% of sales, down from as much as 35% of sales back in January of 2012.
