Year to date

The 2018 Shenandoah Market in Review

Shenandoah’s price per square foot jumped nearly 12% in 2018, the strongest gain of the year among our neighborhood’s key measures. 109 single-family homes closed, up from 104 in 2017, and total sales volume rose 9.8% to $49.5 million. The median sale price rose 6.1% to $435,000, and the median price per square foot climbed 11.9% to $263.

Rising borrowing costs were the year’s headwind. The Federal Reserve raised its benchmark rate four times, and thirty-year mortgage rates climbed from about 4% in January to nearly 5% by November, their highest level in seven years. At the same time, the new federal tax law capped deductions for state and local taxes, giving many high earners in the Northeast a fresh reason to look at Florida. Buyers who came to Miami were increasingly drawn to central neighborhoods like ours, with older homes on generous lots close to Coral Gables, Brickell and Downtown.

For buyers, there was still room to negotiate. The median home took 64 days to sell, about a week faster than in 2017. Only 18% of sales closed at or above asking, and 39% needed a price reduction. The typical home sold at 93.1% of its original list price. Inventory tightened, though: roughly 5.7 months of supply, down from about 7.4 in 2017, as more of the homes that came to market found buyers.

The highest sale of the year was 2030 SW 12th Avenue, a 1938 home that sold in June for $830,000, followed by 1724 SW 22nd Avenue at $752,000. Only two homes sold for $750,000 or more, and most sales were well under $500,000. Featured below are two homes I represented in 2018: 1890 SW 13th Street, where I represented the buyers in an April purchase at $480,000, and 1860 SW 11th Street, which sold in December for $530,000.
