Miami, FL – Pending home sales increased 9 percent in February, from 8,388 to 9,164, in Miami-Dade County from the previous month and 61 percent from a year ago. First-time and existing buyers are taking advantage of record-setting affordability conditions, the expanded and extended first-time home buyer tax credit, and a wide selection of properties to choose from according to the Realtor Association of Greater Miami and the Beaches (RAMB) and the Southeast Florida Multiple Listing Service. This coupled with increasing closed sales each of the last 18 months is indicative of a strengthening market. Full Story
