Mini-rant. I can’t take it anymore. About five minutes ago I was reading a blog post from Banks.com entitled “Miami Projected To Be Worst Market Of ‘08.” The author of this post needs to use MapQuest or get a plane ticket to Miami.
So, I decide to read the report sourced in the post and while reading it I noticed that they are clearly speaking about the city of Miami.
While Hawaii is at the top of its game right now, another popular beach vacation destination is gasping for air.
Where’s the editor? The City of Miami proper does not have ANY beaches. Miami and Miami Beach are two completely different cities. Combining Miami and Miami Beach as one real estate market is like combining New York City and Newark, NJ, as one.
Oh, and to further the author’s credibility, notice the pretty picture of Ocean Drive and South Beach in the post.
Duh.

They pretty clearly mention “Miami market” which equals to Miami-Dade county

Hello all! Banks.com real estate blog writer here. Yep, I’m clueless, but at least you’re reading! Anyway, I fixed the aforementioned problems. I will say that the “popular beach vacation destination” referred to Florida in general, which had four cities on the “worst” list. Anyway, the language in that sentence has now been changed to eliminate any confusion and offense. Thanks again, and I’ll see you at Banks.com!

Wait - so what did they mean - City of Miami or Dade county or are they just throwing some numbers on the dart board to attract readers?

Yup - completely clueless - “Miami Beach remains one of the most lucrative neighborhoods in the United States”
I humbly suggest that the writer would at least try to get a grip on differences between Neighborhood, City and Market/Metro/County - good place to start would be Miami condo map: http://miami.condo.com/ForSale/
