Old Cutler Road Construction Will Cause Delays

cutler road delay construction Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay residents who use Old Cutler Road please note that it will be shut down at the end of July for construction. The South Florida Water Management District will be installing a flow-way tunnel beneath Old Cutler Road and this will impact the stretch between SW 156th Street and SW 162nd Street.

The road will be open to local traffic only. If you don’t live in the area, make plans for a different route during construction. SFWMD has stated that the project will take two weeks only and it is slated to begin no earlier than July 26th. Utility services and the popular bike path on Old Cutler may be impacted as well so plan accordingly. Click here for more information.

Palmetto Bay Foreclosures - Great Deals Available

Have you been looking at foreclosures in Palmetto Bay? Here's the latest home listings in the foreclosure sector.

Palmetto Bay foreclosures are a great way to get a good deal on a home in the area. Of course, inspections are in order, as in any home purchase. Just because you're buying AS IS, as most foreclosures are sold, doesn't mean you can't perform an inspection.

As of today there are 228 single family homes for sale in Palmetto Bay. Of those, 21 are foreclosures. Of those 21, I am providing a link to the 16 that I feel represent the best value. Click on the picture below for more details.

This is a live link, which means that as soon as information is updated on the multiple listing service, you will see the updates here also. That includes the addition of pictures if there are none now.

Palmetto Bay Market Report & Absorption Rate

Are you looking for a home in Palmetto Bay? Here's a snapshot of what the market is doing lately.

The Absorption Rate is something we real estate agents use to determine how active the market is. We look at the homes sold in the last 12 months and figure out the average per month. Then we look at how many homes are available right now and divide that by the average # of homes sold per month. The resulting number is known as the Absorption Rate and it tells us how many months it would take to sell all the available homes if sales continued at the present pace.

A normal market has an Absorption Rate of about 6 - 10. A smaller number signals a seller's market and a higher number signals a buyer's market. Palmetto Bay is definitely a buyer's market right now. But it is interesting to note that the number has come down in the last 2 years, which is good. Sales have been picking up in all of Miami-Dade county.

Palmetto Bay Market Report

It is interesting to note the different absorption rates for each price range. I like to provide data for the different price ranges as it's important to see what's happening in the different price points.

If you look at the luxury homes in Palmetto Bay, there are 23 homes that are priced at a million or more, but in the last year there have been no sales of homes at over a million. So it's impossible to figure out the absorption rate for these higher end homes. Does it mean you can't sell your million dollar home? No, not at all. It just means it will be harder as there don't appear to be any buyers out there in this price range.

Palmetto Bay 33158 Market Report November 2007

To provide hyper local market data, I am presenting this market report for the Village of Palmetto Bay, zip code 33158 specifically.

The trend here looks a lot better than the county's for the same period.

Yes, the For Sale far outnumber the Sold, but that all important Months Of Inventory number is a lot healthier here than in the county numbers.

33158 market report

And in stark comparison to the county numbers, look at the Months Of Inventory in Palmetto Bay zip code 33158:

33158 months of inventory

The Months Of Inventory for November is 20.7, or almost a third of the county's 57.3 for the same period. This represents a much more balanced market in Palmetto Bay than the county as a whole. And while 20 months' worth of inventory is far from the desired 6-10 months of a balanced market, it is decidedly better than 57.3, or the 148 months in Homestead's 33032!

If you're looking for real estate statistics for other areas, even certain subdivisions, I have the capacity to provide them, and even better, to interpret them. Feel free to get in touch with me for additional market analyses.

Palmetto Bay Dog Park Finally Opened!

After two years of waiting, the doggie park in Palmetto Bay finally opened on Saturday, Nov. 17th.

We stopped by in the afternoon and there were quite a few people there with their four-legged friends.

It was nice to see that the pooches could run around freely. There's a lake in the center of the park where they can swim if they want to. There's also penned areas for small dogs and large dogs to play in, respectively. This is real nice for the smaller dogs who may not be too keen about having monster big dogs chasing them around the park. LOL

There's plenty of places to sit if you get tired of playing frisbee with Fido. And if Fido gets thirsty, he has a water fountain where he can quench his thirst!

Palmetto Bay residents were happy to see this park finally open. The park is on 164 Street and US 1. The only way to get in on US 1 is Northbound so you may need to make a U-ie if you're heading South. Just do it carefully. This is US1 after all. Or hang a left on 160th before the park and get in the back way.

Palmetto Bay Homes For Sale Clarification

Sticking My Two Cents In I read this nbc6.net article the other day and can go along with most of what’s being said. I have to take issue with one small item there though. Zip code 33157 is touted as being Palmetto Bay and while a part of Palmetto Bay is certainly in zip code 33157, 33157 also encompasses parts of Cutler Bay as well as Miami.

This minor detail will make a difference in the way Palmetto Bay listings are viewed. The article states that there are 758 listings in 33157 which is Palmetto Bay. While there are 758 listings in 33157, only 197 of those are in Palmetto Bay. The rest are in Cutler Bay and Miami. As a matter of fact, the entire Village of Palmetto Bay has only 254 single family homes listed for sale at this very moment, which is considerably less than the 758 attributed in the article.

I’m not denying the overall point of the article. It is a great time to pick up a great home at a great price. And using a knowledgeable REALTOR® to guide you makes sense. Oh, and we are paid by the seller usually, so it doesn’t cost you anything. Now doesn’t that sound sweet?
