Prices and inventory tell a story if you know what to watch. A simple framework for buyers and sellers.
Watch inventory, not just headlines
The balance between homes for sale and buyers active in an area tells you more than any single price. Rising inventory favors buyers; tight inventory favors sellers.
Days on market and price cuts
How long homes sit and how often prices are reduced show whether an area is heating up or cooling. These signals differ street by street in Miami.
Local beats national
National trends make headlines, but Brickell, Coral Gables, and Key Biscayne each move on their own. A local broker reads the block, not the country.
