The number of homes sold in Dade County in December 2008 was 1168 compared to 783 homes sold in December 2007. That is a 49.2% increase. Many people are very surprised to hear that the numbers in sales have gone up. Most people think that the numbers have gone down because of all the bad news they hear from the media. There are many reasons for the increase in sales. The two biggest ones probably are the extremely low prices and interest rates. It is not uncommon to see homes selling for half of what they sold for two or three years ago. Because of that, investors are back in the market. Most of these homes being purchased are foreclosures, which are also called bank owned properties or REO's (real estate owned). As far as interest rates are concerned, there are many people that are locking in their fixed interest rates at five percent or less.
