Miami Beach Faces 31-Month Supply Of Luxury Condos Listed For Sale

Buyers Purchased Nearly 22 Miami Beach Luxury Condos Monthly In First Half Of 2017   

DOWNTOWN MIAMI (Aug. 8, 2017) - More than 675 luxury condo units are formally listed for sale at a minimum price of at least $1 million in the barrier island city of Miami Beach in the South Florida county of Miami-Dade, according to a new report from Condo Vultures® Realty LLC.

Based on luxury condo sales of nearly 22 units monthly in the first half of 2017, Miami Beach now has more than a 31-month supply of units available for purchase in the tricounty South Florida region of Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach during this year’s Summer Buying Season, according to the report based on data from the Southeast Florida MLS Matrix v7.0.

A balanced market is generally considered to have about six months of supply. More months of condo supply listed for sale suggests a buyer’s advantage and less months typically indicates a seller’s advantage in the market.

It is worth noting this report only tracks those Miami Beach luxury condos formally listed for sale. The report does not factor in the nearly 47,700 new condo units currently in the development pipeline east of Interstate 95 in the tricounty South Florida region.
