A Season of Real Estate Opportunity
Experts predict a busy fourth quarter in the housing market. Increased supply, slightly lower mortgage rates, and improved affordability are encouraging more buyers. In recent months, Miami-Dade County saw rising prices, strong all-cash sales, and steady bidding wars, showing high demand despite more listings. With eager buyers and rates trending down, we might not see the slowdown that the end of the year typically brings. Source: Douglas Elliman and Bankrate.
