MIAMI  — Miami-Dade County median prices increased year-over-year in April 2020 as home sales saw expected declines as a result of the global COVID-19 situation, according to the MIAMI Association of Realtors (MIAMI) and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system. “Despite the expected COVID-19 impact on April sales, we are already seeing a surge in pending sales that will result in a significant increase in closed sales in the next couple of months,” MIAMI Chairman of the Board Jorge L.

Letting Emotional Attachment Influence the Asking Price Your home might be your most prized possession, but it’s also an asset and the market determines it’s value.

Overpricing your Home We know you love your home, but don’t worry, others will too if it’s priced fairly. Overpricing your home will only result in a stale listing and further price reductions. 3. Not Making Necessary Repairs and Removing Clutter Improve your property’s value
