Whitney Dutton Featured in Sun Sentinel Article About Housing Prices

Native Realty Residential Sales Director Whitney Dutton was quoted throughout a Sun Sentinel article authored by Abigail Hasebroock. The piece analyzed recent Zillow data on housing prices across the tri-county area of South Florida.

“Zillow analyzes home values in condominiums and single-family homes, and data from March indicates an overall price decline in much of Palm Beach and Broward counties but an overall increase in much of Miami-Dade County.

Native Realty residential sales director Whitney Dutton attributes the diverging difference in home values across the region — particularly in the condo market — to more new construction in the Miami-Dade area.

“Buyers are absolutely gravitating toward newer construction condo sales,” Dutton said. “The older condominiums that have a high risk for assessment are already under assessment, they have structural integrity issues, potential for large assessments coming up, those condos people are actually staying away from. The condominiums that are closing and actually selling are the newer construction condos, which by and large are going to be way more expensive.”
