Its always amazing how few single family homes get built in the Miami area. South Florida is building fewer than Jacksonville and half as much as New York, which isn't exactly known for churning out single family subdivisions either. Part of the reason the single family home I bought 2 years ago has already increased in price by 70%.
Then again there isn't much of anything getting built in South Florida these days. Fewer single family homes AND fewer multi-family then Provo, Utah for example.
