The Miami condo market was one of the worst hit by the real estate crash. In 2008 there were 22,000 new units on the market remaining vacant. Now there are only 600. This shrinking has also made for prices to increase virtually 10% from last year even in residential condominiums. The inventory in Miami and Miami Beach is incredibly tight and the demand has not slowed pace, often creating bidding wars amongst buyers. Developers are taking advantage and cannot build fast enough. There are cranes and forklifts throughout the city and in downtown alone there are 25 new buildings going up.

The new planned developments are geared towards the Latin American investors who have contributed to the rebound. They are luxury condos and shopping districts in one that focus on the walkability of the city. Miami has not historically been a walking city, but developers hope to change that. Brickell CitiCentre is a planned massive development that will add 800 apartments, and an entire shopping district next to the metro mover. It will cost an unbelievable 1 billion dollars. Other developer giants that are investing heavily are The Related Group, of the Related Companies in New York, and Swire Properties. Brickell CitiCentre is by the Whitman Family, who also have the incredibly successful, Shops

The Sunset Islands has a new listing on the market and this mansion has an impressive history. Former home of William Pawley, whose son was engaged to Elizabeth Taylor, its glistening pool was the site of a famed love affair, and it is not difficult to see why it would be conducive to love. The home has a beautiful pool and overlooks the Biscayne Bay. It sits on an enormous over 35,000 square foot lot, and the main house is over 9,000 square feet. It has 7 bedrooms and 9 and 1 half baths and has been completely renovated. Every inch of the property has seen a renovation that keeps the old world charm. It is modern in all conveniences but still is haunted by love. This home is a must see.

The location of 2555 Lake Ave is one of the most coveted in Miami. It is on the Sunset Islands, which are a chain of islands off the main barrier island of Miami Beach. In seconds you can enjoy the dining and nightlife that south beach has to offer, or be in downtown Miami in 15 minutes via the Venetian Causeway. The Miami International Airport is around 25 minutes away, and the design district is 20 minutes. Bal Harbour and boutique shopping is possible in a 15 minute drive as well. For more information on this home and others in the Sunset Islands, contact us today. The market is so limited that we do not expect the home to remain on the market long.

Lack of inventory and continued voracious demand, have home prices at 2003 levels. The Miami Association of Realtors announced the new median numbers for single family homes and condominiums and they continue to increase. The median price of Miami Dade single family homes has risen 25.1% to $225,000 this March from last year. The median condo price has risen 19.3% since last March. These increases are not simply in Miami Dade county either, in Broward median single family home prices increased by 25.3% and townhomes and condos increased by 27.3%. Experts say they do not see a slow in this growth given the limited inventory and continued demand by cash and non-cash buyers.

Miami Dade county was one of the most damaged market by the recession in 2008, but it has witnessed one of the biggest comebacks in the nation. March marks the 16 consecutive months of gains in home prices and buyers are still rushing to take advantage of the 2003 pricing. Since builders were unable to obtain lending for some time after the recession, the amount of available new properties are scant. This will not be for long however, since in Miami Dade over 100 new condominium towers are underconstruction. Foreign liquid capital is driving the demand and those looking to finance are often being beaten to the property by a cash buyer. Homes that are competitively priced are often receiving multiple offers in a very short amount of time. As soon as a home is listed, it is often under contract in under a week. If you are looking to sell, we advise that you take advantage of these conditions now, before the new share of condos is available. Contact us for a free comparative market analysis.
