City-by-city price comps
Fort Lauderdale/Miami, Fla. |
Two years' worth of supply is putting pressure on prices, which are declining. Fort Lauderdale has the sixth highest number of foreclosures in the nation, and Miami isn't far behind, at No. 8, according to RealtyTrac. In Miami's condo market, high homeowner association fees are increasing the monthly payment and discouraging buyers, says Chris Porter with John Burns Real Estate Consulting. And it's one of Local Market Monitor's most overpriced markets, with a 51-percent difference between actual prices and equilibrium. | | Median price end of 2008: | $234,200 | | Median price end of 2007: | $345,900 | | Percent change: | -32.3% | | Projected change through Q3 2009: | -35.1% (Fort Lauderdale),
