South Beach Luxury Condo Market Update

Below are a some sales stats for the overall Miami Beach (South Beach) luxury condo market for the past three months :

• As of late July, there are 450 units for sale between $500K and $1.1M
• As of late July, there are 209 units for sale between $1.1M and $2.1M
• As of late July, there are 111 units for sale between $2.1M and $5M
• As of late July, there are 43 units for sale over $5M

I’ve received many inquiries about CONTINUUM II since its opening, so far there have been nine closed sales and one pending sale as recorded on the Multiple Listing Service. This is a significant slowdown in sales activity, especially comparing the re-sales activity that took place with Continuum – South Tower a few years ago. However, the latest sales have been averaging well over $1,000/s.f. for higher floor units. Currently there are 46 condos for being offered for sale at Continuum 2

ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT SELLING? – If you own a condo or a single family home (especially those on the water), and have had trouble selling, please call us for a free market analysis. I believe in telling it “straight” to clients (or potential clients), as wishful thinking will not carry the day in this real estate environment.

Once again, the market has shown that it rewards sellers who work with experienced, knowledgeable, detail-oriented, and top producing real estate salespeople. Thanks to aggressive and creative targeted International Marketing Campaigns, we have sold ALMOST our entire Residential listing inventory from the first half of 2008.
