The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of the Real Estate Market for May 11 2020.


The real estate market is going through a period of uncertainty  and as I talk to more people they all seem to have questions about the estate of the market, now and what is going to happen in the foreseeable future.
I’ve said this for over 16 years, the heart and soul  of my practice is doing or saying what my competitors are unwilling to say or unable to do and that is the difference.
When ever I have the opportunity to respond (in person) to the uncertainty  and try to explain without pulling punches nor sugar coating the issues. But I found that the best way is to let the market speak and respond to those questions.
Questions like...
Are there any transactions being done now?
Is this a good time to sell?
Are prices still going up?
Are prices expected to drop?
Should I buy now, or wait?
Can I still get a mortgage?
How difficult is to get a mortgage now?
Can I see houses on the market now?
How are title closings done?

It is easy to see that many questions, that for the most part  remains unanswered, or at least with a factual honest response without veiled intentions.
I decided to post on a daily basis, actual and documented real data straight from the MLS service, all the transaction, the good the bad and the ugly for the prior day.

Navigating the New Real Estate Landscape:  Challenges for Miami Homebuyers Miami Homebuyers Facing Obstacles The real estate market in Miami has become increasingly challenging for homebuyers. Over the past few years, housing prices have skyrocketed, while mortgage interest rates have risen to unexpected levels. Unfortunately, wages haven’t kept pace with inflation, making it more difficult for many to afford their dream home. As if these challenges weren’t enough, new rules from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) are set to change how commissions are handled in real estate transactions, adding another layer of complexity for buyers. The Impact of the NAR Settlement Rules Beginning this Saturday, real estate agents listing homes on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), a widely used database for agents, will no longer be allowed to advertise any compensation to buyer's agents. Previously, it was common for sellers to pay commissions to real estate agents on both sides of the ...
