Real Estate Market Report – Aventura Single Family Homes

Aventura, FL  33180 – Single Family Homes as of 7/03/09

Real Estate Market Report

This Week

The median single family home price in Aventura 33180 this week is $497,450.  Inventory has been tightening and days-on-market increasing recently.  The Market Action Index (MAI) has been basically flat.

Price

Again this week we see a downward notch for prices.  Pricing has been weak in recent weeks and versus their absolute-high level.  We will be looking for a persistent upward ship in the MAI as a leading indicator for a trough in prices.

Price and Value

The market’s downward trends are shared across both price and value.  People are recently placing less value on homes (you can see the recent declines in price per square foot as evidence).  Look for significant changes in the MAI as a precursor to price and value changes.

Inventory

Inventory has been falling in recent weeks with 60 properties available this week.

Market Action Index

Aventura 33180 is quite strongly in the Buyer’s Market zone.  The 90-day MAI stands at 15.

Days On Market

The properties have been on the market for an average of 262 days.  Half of the listings have come newly on the market in the past 231 or so days.  Watch the 90-day DOM trend for signals of a changing market.

The Real Estate Market Report is posted on a weekly basis.  Look for updates in the coming weeks.  For more information contact me at (305) 329-4929 or [email protected]

Classic Residence by Hyatt Offers Retirement Living in Aventura

Classic Residence by Hyatt – an Independent Living Retirement Community

Classic Residence by Hyatt AventuraLately I have made a number of new clients that have older adult parents living in Aventura, while the majority of family members live out of the area.  The older adult parents are aging and their family members are very concerned about their loved ones living alone.  A great solution for some people is the Classic Residence by Hyatt in Aventura.  Classic Residence by Hyatt offers residents independent living with peace of mind.   It offers beautifully designed homes plus additional care on site such as state-of-the-art care centers and private accommodations for assisted living, Alzheimer’s and dementia care and skilled nursing on site so that residents continue to stay in the community, close to their spouse, friends and neighbors, even if their care needs change.  This is important to both the older adults and their children.  For those older adults already living in Aventura, the Classic Residence by Hyatt Aventura location enables them to remain in the same area that they are used to and enjoy.

My knowledge and expertise of the Aventura real estate market combined with patience and understanding that can sometimes be necessary when working with older adults has enabled me to handle the sale of the client’s current Aventura residence, making the move to the Classic Residence by Hyatt a smooth and easy one.

Last week I visited a client that had just moved to the Classic Residence.  The valet took my car and directed me to the lobby which was beautifully decorated like many of the upscale condominiums I sell in the area.  The lobby attendant called Read the rest of this entry »

FAR Misses The Jumbo Mortgage Mark

dollar sign - tree - money grows on treesThe Florida Association of Realtors Early Bird News is typically a source of relevant and accurate industry news for Real Estate professionals and consumers alike. However, recently this publication has been the source of some misinformation that needs to be clarified.

On Friday June 5th Early Bird News included a link to a short article indicating that move up and luxury home buyers were holding off on purchasing homes “because they don’t want to pay jumbo mortgage rates“. If any buyer is not taking advantage of the incredible deals in Miami and Florida housing markets because they think jumbo rates are high then they are talking to the wrong mortgage banker.

Jumbo mortgage money is readily available and at rates that are below historic lows and in some instances even below conforming rates.


Here is a brief indication of current jumbo rates assuming loan amount greater than $1,000,000 with no points.

10% Down – 5/1 ARM 6.5%* 7/1 ARM – 6.75% 10/1 ARM – 6.875%

20% Down – 5/1 ARM 6.125% 7/1 ARM – 6.375% 10/1 ARM – 6.625%

35% Down – 5/1 ARM 4.75% 7/1 ARM – 5.125% 10/1 ARM – 6.00%
