A headline caught my eye this week. It read:
“The Housing Market Isn’t Making Sense. What’s Going On.”
It got me thinking about how much information is circulating out there. Numbers are flying around about inventory increases and price reductions (promising news for buyers)—and at the same time, there are also stats about record-high home prices (every seller’s dream).
When I first sat down to write this, I planned to dispel some misinformation and explain what all those numbers really mean. Then it hit me—the headlines and reports you are seeing all reference housing market stats nationwide. And when buying or selling real estate, the most important data is hyperlocal.
So, let’s take a look at what happened in the July 2024 housing market in Miami.

Months of Inventory: This measures the number of months it would take to sell all current listings at the current sales pace. The current 4.4 months indicates a seller's market with high demand.
-
Active Listings: The number of active listings shows available inventory. A significant increase in active listings can indicate more competition among sellers or an influx of new listings.
-
Sold Listings: This reflects the number of homes sold within the month, providing insight into market activity. A decrease might suggest a slowdown in buyer activity or limited inventory.
