South Florida home values dropped further than 25 other metropolitan areas in Q2 of this year, falling 15% since 2009Median home values in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach County are now priced at $146,500, down 7% from the beginning of 2010 and 52% from 2006's peak values.
With real estate values still on the decline, it comes as no surprise that 44% of South Florida homeowners' mortgages are "underwater," meaning they owe more on their loan than the house is currently worth.
