Residential sales and dollar volume fell across South Florida in June, while median prices continued to rise. 

Total dollar volume for Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties reached $5.7 billion, according to the Miami Association of Realtors, which tracks sales recorded in the Multiple Listing Service. That’s $920 million, or 14 percent, below the $6.6 billion in closed sales in June of last year. Dollar volume was also down 14 percent in May, year-over-year, equating to a $1 billion squeeze on the market.
