Undoubtedly, Miami is a spectacular city known for its prevalent urbanization and beautiful environment. The city may seem like just another tourist spot, but it is constantly trying to prove that it can also be a good place for permanent settlement.



Miami is sectioned into different neighborhoods, each of which represents a vital role in comprising the diversity of the city. The wide array of beaches that resides along astonishing skyscrapers is one of the major factors that attract people to inhabit the metropolis. In regard to that fact, the Miami real estate shaped an outstanding activity in the market, although a smooth sailing was something they were unable to attain.

Within the last 10 years, the Miami real estate market has experienced both an increase and decrease in the Market value change, which was caused by many factors. One cause is the poverty of its citizens, which brings about the fact that Miami was named as one of the poorest city in America which was primarily caused by the downward spiral of its government in the year 2001 due to the disorderly behavior of the city's officials. In this regard, more scandals can be entailed with its government; like unusually high taxes and poor sanitary and police services. These scandals somehow drove away investors and potential residents impaling its economy, including the Miami real estate market.

With a massive amount of struggle, the Miami real estate market flourished in the year 2005. Notably, immigrants from South America who were able to purchase housing units in the city caused a great deal for the market's growth. Many people wanted to relocate to the city. Also, demands for housing units became very high due to the international market's desire to invest on Miami real estate. Housing units were selling out within just days and everyone was making astounding profits. More buyers preferred purchasing condominiums making real estate developers focus on the particular housing unit. During that year, pre-construction arrangements also became in demand, causing its economy to somehow recover from the past year's adversities.

During the year 2007 however, Miami's real estate market had an unfortunate downfall. Speculators were trying to search for quick profits through endorsing their investments to other speculators telling them that the housing units can generate high short-term returns, and as the process continued, later investors were unable to find buyers who were willing to purchase the housing units because of the unreasonable increased price. Excessive supply of housing units also became a problem to the Miami real estate market. These factors caused the sales of housing projects in Miami to stop. Many investors were forced to sell their housing units in prices that are lower than they were hoping for. Other than being sold, some other housing units were foreclosed, which entails the fact that Miami was ranked as the 8th city in having the most foreclosure all across America.

As of now, Miami still struggles to create a better economy in order to be a better place to live in. The city has already undergone both the highs and the lows, yet it has retained its vivacity, that is why it won't be shocking if ever it comes back on top again.
