Condo.com Releases Condo Market Intelligence Data
Miami, FL, August 22, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Condo.com, the world's largest condo marketplace, recently released it's much anticipated Condo Market Intelligence (CMI) data for several key Florida markets including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach and Orlando. This data provides information on the number of multi-family home sales in these key markets as well as Average Sales Price and Average Price Per Square Foot. The number of listings for sale and rent by market is also a key component of the CMI. While overall the data confirms expected declines, there are some positive and stable markets indicating that all is not doom and gloom.
"We are excited to be able to release this new data which gives the industry good, reliable numbers on what is happening in the condo marketplace," says Richard Swerdlow, CEO of Condo.com. "We know the industry is hungry for this information and we have put an infrastructure into place to capture valuable data we release on a periodic basis," he added.
Some of the market trends identified through Condo.com CMI are:
Number of multi-family home sales for the 2nd quarter '08 increased in all markets from the prior quarter including Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Palm Beach and Orlando. The Orlando market leads the pack with the highest increase over last quarter of 45% with Palm Beach coming in with a 30% increase and Miami and Fort Lauderdale with increases of 22% and 17% respectively.
Not surprisingly, average sales prices went down in all markets except Palm Beach which experienced a 9% increase over the previous quarter. Orlando showed the biggest decrease in average sales price of 15% while Miami had a 6% decrease and Fort Lauderdale experienced a slight 1% fall in sales price.
Perhaps the most valuable statistic to compare markets is average price per square foot: Orlando's average sales price per square foot dropped 15% to $128. The average sales price per square foot in Fort Lauderdale dropped 2% to $154; Palm Beach's average sales price per square foot stayed the same as last quarter at $146 while the Miami market dropped 1% to $301.
