We already knew that available housing inventory was scarce – especially in Greater Miami. A new analysis by Calculated Risk shows that inventory is even lower than recent reports indicate.
Calculated Risk crunched the numbers behind the National Association of Realtors (NAR) August report, which cited a 13.4% year-over-year decline in active inventory. The NAR report includes some pending sales as inventory, however. Local MLS data, excluding those pending sales, shows that active inventory is actually down close to 25% year-over-year.
For anyone on the fence about buying versus renting, this report provides further evidence that the window to control your own destiny by purchasing your residence is closing rapidly. Between the lack of inventory and historically low interest rates that are projected to rise in the coming months, the time to act is now.
