Real estate, once again, can be found at the head of South Florida’s economic pack. New output numbers released Tuesday show real estate as the No. 1 contributor to economic growth last year, accounting for 31 cents of every new dollar added to the tri-county area’s $274 billion economy. Overall, the economy grew by 3.5 percent, the sharpest increase since 2006 and well ahead of the national metropolitan average of 2.5 percent. “Overall, I think it’s a pretty good number,” said Robert Cruz, official economist for Miami-Dade County. He noted that of Florida’s largest economies, South Florida had the sharpest growth in 2012. By Douglas Hanks dhanks@MiamiHerald miamiherald/2013/09/17/3633412/south-florida-economy-growing.html
