| List looked off to me too, but it's all how they calculate things like what stats to use and how to weight them. Same with those "Best Standard of Living" style city studies. |

What? Miami real estate prices have dropped alarmingly in the past few years -- same in ft. lauderdale. South Florida also has 11% unemployment.

South Florida home values shed another 1.8 percent in the first quarter of the year, and are down 55.4 percent from 2006 highs, according to a new Zillow report
By TOLUSE OLORUNNIPA
Although South Florida home sales are chugging along at a boom-time pace and outperforming the national real estate market on a volume basis, home values continue to experience far more turmoil than the national market, a new report from real estate firm Zillow shows.
South Florida home values shed another 1.8 percent in the first quarter of the year, slipping to levels that are on par with 2002.
In the first three months of 2011, Zillow’s home value index for Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties dipped to $137,300, a 12.8 percent decrease from the same quarter last year. The national home value index was $169,600, down 8.2 percent. |
