South Florida’s residential sales dollar volume rose in all three counties in 2020, reaching $44.1 billion, according to the Miami Association of Realtors.
Luxury sales led the market, rising in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. While the overall number of residential sales decreased minimally in Miami-Dade and Broward, they increased in Palm Beach County, according to Multiple Listing Service data compiled by the association.
Prices also continued to rise across South Florida.
Miami-Dade
A total of 26,345 residential sales closed in 2020, down nearly 4 percent from 2019. The decrease is likely due to slow months early on in the pandemic. Of the total, single-family sales totaled 13,250 last year, a 0.5 percent decrease compared to 2019. Condo sales totaled 13,095, a 7.2 percent decline from the previous year.
Luxury sales, defined as $1 million and up, jumped 41 percent year over year to 1,447, which accounts for the surge in sales volume.
Single-family home sales volume rose 26 percent to $9.2 billion, and condo dollar volume increased 1.7 percent to $5.7 billion.
The median price of single-family homes was $402,000, up 10 percent. For condos, the median price rose 7.8 percent to $264,000.
