Price comparison 2006-2007: Overvalued despite 6 percent price drop

Price comparison 2006-2007: Overvalued despite 6 percent price drop
Miami buyers will have more choices and may get a slight break on price, says Cyril Bijaoui, president of The Company, a real estate brokerage, development and property management company. The inventory has more than doubled since last year and prices have started to decline, but not dramatically.

The median home price at the end of 2005 was $391,200. At the close of 2006, it was $366,800. "Sellers are not budging in their prices and buyers are not making offers. You kind of have a never-ending standoff." says Bijaoui. With single-family homes, "You're not going to find anything very nice or very big" in Miami, he says. "Either you buy a condo, or you go away from the metropolis."
Miami, Fla.
Property value: $395,000
