MIAMI, August 12, 2021 / PRNewswire-PRWeb / – Broward County continued its trend of increasing total home sales in the 2nd South Florida, and record-low mortgage-fueled transactions, according to the MIAMI Association of Brokers (MIAMI) and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system.

"Broward County would have made even more sales if there had been more inventory, "Broward-MIAMI president Patrick Simm said. "More and more individuals and companies are moving Greater Fort Lauderdale and Broward County because of our low taxes, pro-government, and incredible way of life, we enjoy in South Florida. "

A lack of stocks in certain price ranges has an impact on sales, especially in the case of single-family homes. Increased home starts and more sellers listing properties in 2021 should help alleviate the lack of supply.

Record low interest rates; a record high S&P 500; the attractiveness of stable assets in a volatile economy; Homebuyers leaving tax-burdened northeast and west coast states to shop in Florida (no state income tax); and the guidelines for working from home and distance learning have all together created a robust market for luxury single family homes.

The story goes on

Rising median prices are a trend across the country as record-low mortgage rates and the increasing availability of remote working and education have accelerated the demand for housing. Low stocks in relation to high demand lead to rising prices.

Should mortgage rates continue their upward trend, home price growth is likely to slow in response. As more and more sellers offer real estate in 2021, the increased inventory should dampen growth in median prices.
