South Florida Foreclosures Continue to Decline

Posted on by Admin

Once a foreclosure hotbed during the U.S. economic downturn, South Florida’s housing market continues its recovery in the New Year.  The number of homes in some stage of foreclosure reached 3,063 during January, according to RealtyTrac.  That is approximately one in every 808 homes- a rate that has fallen by 45 percent compared to January 2015.

Miami-Dade had the most foreclosures out of South Florida’s three counties with 1,358 homes in distress. Broward and Palm Beach counties had 919 and 786 last month.  The decrease in foreclosures means South Florida now ranks 22nd in the nation for properties in financial distress.

Nationally, the trend was similar.  A total of 95,186 homes were in some stage of foreclosure last month, a decline from 11 percent compared to the same month a year ago.  The U.S. is now at its lowest foreclosure rate since 2008, according to RealtyTrac.

South Floridians Gaining Confidence in the Housing Market

Posted on by Admin

A recent survey conducted by TD Bank revealed twenty eight percent of South Floridians are “very” or “extremely” likely to purchase a home in the next year or so, compared with only 9 percent in 2014. The survey polled 159 residents of South Florida, but was part of a larger national poll of 1,450 homeowners who purchased homes in the past ten years.

According to TD Bank, South Floridians are “finally finding the confidence to buy again” after the recession. Another survey from Zillow.com showed that South Florida renters are also gaining confidence in the housing market. The survey found that more than 161,000 renters in Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties said they plan to buy within a year. South Florida will be a competitive housing market this year, with home prices ranging between $250,000 and $400,000. Nationwide, residents of South Florida, San Jose and San Francisco were most confident in the housing market, according to Zillow.
