South Florida’s residential market continued its explosive resurgence in October, reversing a monthslong slowdown.
Dollar volume in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties rose 14 percent to $4.8 billion, compared to $4.2 billion last October, according to Multiple Listing Service data collected by the Miami Association of Realtors.
Still, the tri-county region’s condo market has been rattled by a glut of supply, and the median sale price for units dropped in both Miami-Dade and Broward.
