South Florida Agent’s Top 5 Association News columns of 2022

by South Florida Agent

Each month, we invite a real estate association leader to write a column on the state of the industry and the work of their organization in a feature we call Association News. The following are the five most-read Association News columns of 2022.

No. 1: South Florida home sales projected to hit second-best level in 2022 and to strengthen in 2023 

While sales have contracted amid rising mortgage rates, home sales prices are still rising at double-digit pace due to a continued shortage of homes for sale. In 2023, slower interest rate hikes as inflation cools and the Miami metro area’s attractiveness as a destination for businesses and domestic and international movers provide the backdrop for a stronger housing market. 

No. 2: Housing assistance on the way for Hometown Heroes and low-income Floridians 

Florida Realtors® will continue to be on the frontlines of addressing affordable housing, advocating for new and innovative solutions to the state’s housing problems so that one day, all Floridians will be in a position to realize the dream of homeownership. 

No. 3: MIAMI Realtors, innovative pioneers addressing housing affordability 

MIAMI Realtors converted two shipping containers into an affordable housing unit in South Miami with the target of selling it to a buyer at 80% of the area median income. Find out how the process worked and what lessons were learned.

No. 4: MIAMI Realtors creating global business opportunities for members, enhancing South Florida’s global exposure 

Miami is special for many reasons, but one of its greatest strengths is its incredible ability to welcome all cultures, do global business and thrive with diversity.

No. 5: A 2022 real estate forecast 

Real estate is always unpredictable, but in hindsight we can now see that this 2022 forecast from Leslie Rouda Smith of the National Association of Realtors hit the mark.
