Total Miami-Dade County home sales surged 14.7 percent year-over-year in October, marking the market's fourth consecutive month of year-over-year home transaction gains, according to a new report by the MIAMI Association of REALTORS® (MIAMI) and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system.
Total Miami home sales have now increased year-over-year in July, August, September and October, putting the market on pace to post more total sales this year than 2017. The Miami condo market has registered 11,742 transactions so far this year through October, a 6.6 percent increase from this time last year. The Miami single-family home market has recorded 10,924 sales this year through October, a 1.3 percent increase from this time last year.
"Miami real estate is ending the year on a robust note," said MIAMI Chairman of the Board George C. Jalil, a Miami broker. "Total year-over-year home sales have increased for four consecutive months. Pent-up demand, an increase in new listings, rising interest rates and an increasingly volatile stock market are leading more buyers to invest in Miami real estate, which has experienced nearly seven years of price appreciation."

Miami's Cash Buyers Represent almost Double the National Figure
Miami cash transactions comprised 37.3 percent of October 2018 total closed sales, compared to 37.6 percent last year. Miami cash transactions are almost double the national figure (23 percent).
Miami's high percentage of cash sales reflects South Florida's ability to attract a diverse number of international home buyers, who tend to purchase properties in all cash. Miami has a higher percent of cash sales for condos due to lack of financing approvals for buildings.
Condominiums comprise a large portion of Miami's cash purchases as 50.9 percent of condo closings were made in cash in October compared to 21.8 percent of single-family home sales.
Balanced Market for Single-Family Homes, Buyer's Market for Condos

The increase in inventory is for properties above $300,000 for condos and for properties above $600,000 for single family homes.
Monthly supply of inventory for single-family homes increased 12.3 percent to 6.4 months, which indicates a balanced market.
