 Miami, FL – In Miami-Dade County, pending home sales decreased by 2.21 percent in December compared to the previous month, from 8,288 to 8,105 according to the Realtor Association of Greater Miami and the Beaches (RAMB) and Southeast Florida Multiple Listing Service.  This slight decrease can be attributed to the holiday season, which traditionally results in fewer home sales.  Since March 2009, when RAMB began tracking local pending sales, pending home sales have increased 43 percent as buyers have taken advantage of record-setting affordability conditions, the first-time home buyer tax credit, and a wide selection of properties to choose from.  Closed sales have increased each of the last 16 months, a clear sign of the strengthening market and indicative of stabilization.  Full Story 
Ft. Lauderdale Market - November 2009
The Greater Ft. Lauderdale real estate market also continues to improve.  The sales of single-family homes have increased 17 out of the last 17 months.  Meanwhile, condominiums sales have increased 15 out of the last 17 months.  November 2009 sales figures show a 39 percent gain for single-family homes, while condominium sales increased 103 percent.  
 
Median sales prices, like in Miami, continue to drop in Ft. Lauderdale due to foreclosures, short sales, and mortgage fraud cases - but they also are not dropping as much as in previous months.  The median sales prices in November 2009 were $182,100 for single-family homes and $86,500 for condominiums, both decreases of 21 percent.
