South Florida housing prices have hit bottom, Zillow analysts
declare

There are three little words South Floridians have longed to hear
since the housing slide began: "We've hit bottom."
Analysts at the online real estate database Zillow are declaring
just that for Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties in a
report to be released today that shows tri-county home prices
bottomed out in the latter part of 2011.
Although the first quarter Zillow Home Value Index was down 2.3
percent in Palm Beach County on a year-over-year measure to
$140,600, small increases in monthly and quarterly measures were
enough for senior Zillow economist Svenja Gudell to predict an end
to free-falling prices.
"The last two years we've seen the rate of decline slow and now
we're seeing this uptick for the first time, where instead of
sloping down, the curve is sloping up," Gudell said.
Of the 30 largest metropolitan areas measured by the Seattle-based
Zillow, 14 were declared to have hit bottom either at the end of
2011 or between January and March of this year, including Orlando
and Tampa.
The optimism was echoed by Florida International University real
estate economist Ken Johnson, who began predicting a bottom in
November when prices hit 2002 levels.
"It just makes really strong financial sense to buy right now,"
Johnson said. "We can't go down anymore."
Zillow's index considers the value of all homes, not just those
that sold during the measurement period, and South Florida Realtors
are often skeptical of the company's South Florida data. Zillow's
website states that as of February, its estimates were within 5
percent of the actual sales price of a South Florida home just 27
percent of the time. About 49 percent of the time the estimates were
within 10 percent of the price.
Zillow estimates the national home value during the first quarter
of 2012 was $146,200, a 3 percent decrease from the same time in
2011, and predicts the country as a whole won't hit bottom until the
end of the year.
That's more in line with some other reports released this week that
offered mixed signals on the state of the housing market.
