Miami Condo and Homes Announces Incredible News from National Association of Realtors!
Tuesday, March 27, 2012
The National Association of Realtors Announced March 21, 2012, that pending home sales are up nationally by 9.2% from last year in the month of February. This is a slight decrease of .5% from January. In the Southeast, the pending home sales in February dropped by 3% , however on average was still up 7.8% from last February. The Pending Home sales data is comprised of homes that have gone under contract, not yet closed, and is considered a direct indicator of the future of the market.  Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for NAR was quoted as saying “If activity is sustained near present levels, existing home sales will see their best performance in five years. Based on all of the factors in the current market, that’s what we’re expecting with sales rising 7-10 percent in 2012.” This is wonderful news for the Miami Beach real estate marketplace, since it was hit very hard by the real estate crash in 2008.
 
In Miami Beach, we could certainly already see an uptick in sales. The inventory in Miami is dropping very quickly and is estimated to be at a six month supply, which is down from a nine month supply this same time last year. Nationally, 2.43 million existing homes were listed for sale in February, which is the fewest since 2005. In Miami the supply of homes listed for sale was down nearly 50% from last year. Further, Inman News ranked Miami as the third city for listings over $1 million.  If you are interested in buying a condo in Miami, now is definitely the time. We anticipate home sale median prices will increase due to the lack of inventory, as well as buyer interest in the Miami market. If you are selling your condo, the conditions have not been this favorable since well before the crash in 2008. Contact Miami Condos and Homes for more information!!

Miami Condos and Homes: Beginning a Garden on Your Balcony
Wednesday, March 14, 2012
Many condominium home owners would love to grow a garden on their balconies, but simply do not know where to begin, nor know precisely what to grow. There are few things more rewarding than growing herbs for example and making a pesto with fresh basil. Beyond herbs there are varieties of citrus trees and even small fir trees that thrive in semi sunlight. By being either east facing or west facing, certain plants that require partial sun actually thrive in condominium environments. Here are some simple steps for beginning your balcony garden. If you are new to the area and in need of a balcony to populate with herbs and flowers, please call Miami Condos and Homes Today!
1.      Keep in mind the end size of your plant. Like buying a pet, you must know the end size. A bull mastiff would be unhappy in a 400 square foot studio, and so would a palm tree on a balcony. Further, make sure the container you are placing the plant in is appropriately sized for the end result.
2.      Minis. Many of the plants you may love in their full size are available in miniature varieties. These mini flowering plants can also be combined in a larger container to make a living arrangement, check with your local supplier for combinations that thrive together.
3.      When designing the layout of your garden, consider if you would like to have fruits or vegetables and their growing seasons. You could use one space explicitly for a fruit or vegetable in season.
4.      No need to use insecticides. Since condos are in the sky, the threat of insects is considerably less, so growing organically is highly favored. Many chefs in New York and beyond favor this type of growing for this very reason.
