Improvement in Miami Beach Real Estate Market

The buyer activity in Miami Beach Real estate has increased significantly over the past month for “A-grade” real estate properties. The grade “A” properties are defined as:

-    Waterfront South Beach condos such as the Murano, Murano Grande, Icon South Beach, Portofino Tower, Continuum South Beach, and other affordable bayfront condos such as The Waverly and The Floridian on West Ave.
-    Luxury waterfront single-family homes located on the island communities of Venetian, Palm, Hibiscus, and Sunset Islands.

Whether it’s a waterfront home or luxury condo, aside from being an “A” grade property in today’s buyers market an additional requirement is that the property be a turnkey, or completely remodeled and updated. In other words, the only additional expense a buyer has to be concerned with is moving in with their furniture and personal belongings.

It’s been our experience recently that single family homes and condos, when priced RIGHT, are bombarded with buyer interest and generally receive multiple offers. We are witnessing a new surge of buyer interest in these “A” location properties in the South Beach and the greater Miami Beach real estate market. Our real estate websites are also seeing a dramatic increase in traffic, with local cooperating brokers calling with inquiries and sending us multiple sales contracts.

All of these signs are indicators that the bottom is very close to being reached, and sales are beginning to come back, with prices to GRADUALLY follow as the “A” inventory diminishes.

A few examples of “A” real estate properties currently on the market:
