Miami Beach Single Family Homes- Latest Closed Sales & Quick Market Update

I’d like to highlight a few of the more significant closed sales information for single family homes located on Palm Island, Hibiscus Island, Venetian Islands and Sunset Islands 1-4 in Miami Beach from May 1 through August 20, 2008.

A total of eighteen homes sold and closed during this time frame with an average sales price of $3,300,000. The median price per s.f. was $731, with the average time on market of 259 days. In EVERY case, ALL of these homes were significantly price reduced, and represent price rollbacks to 2004 price levels.

ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT SELLING? – If you own a condo or a single family home in Miami Beach (especially South Beach), 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.
