Selling Miami Beach Real Estate? Just How Hard Is It?

Kevin Tomlinson — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 14:03:45 +0000

Why do some properties languish on the market for an eternity, while others get snapped up?

Some sellers don’t want to admit that they know the real reason that their property isn’t selling.

Miami Beach Luxury Real Estate: Reduction of the Day -1350 S. Venetian Drive

Kevin Tomlinson — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 19:29:14 +0000

I believe the high-end waterfront home sector in Miami Beach will be the story of 2010. Here’s why: Inventory is way up, homes have been sitting on the market for record amounts of time, and number of real estate transactions are way down.

Capitulation is Right Around the Corner

Miami Beach condos have been pummeled in the media for years. Prices have dropped big time, except for the South of Fifth neighborhood. Inventory is decreasing and number of transactions are up—way up. Not the same for waterfront Miami Beach homes.

All Real Estate Will Succumb-Sooner or Later

Many luxury homeowners are getting antsy. Agents have been telling them for years to “hold on, you’re special.” They wanted to believe, but they are losing hope–and fast.

Enter 1350 S. Venetian Drive

Located on San Marco Island, one of Miami Beach’s Venetian Islands, 1350 S. Venetian Drive has been on the market since February, 2009. The waterfront Mediterranean home was built in 2003; has 7991 sf, five bedrooms, seven bathrooms and two half baths. The home was originally priced just under $7M, and today, was reduced to $4.985M or $624 psf! Contact me for a showing.

Mei Miami Beach: If You Think It’s Butter, But It’s Not…

Mei Miami Beach: Oceanfront Luxury for Less

These pictures are from the newly-opened Mei Miami Beach. “Mei” (pronounced “May-ee”) is an Asian “themed” (notice I put “themed” in quotes) condominium located at 5875 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach.

Ya’ll can go on and say whatever you like about Miami Beach real estate. If pics are worth 1000 words, then, “Alex, I’ll take “Mei” for 2000, please.”

Just a little note on the above photos- they were taken today, completely un-retouched and were not staged.

The developer recently reduced prices, substantially. I think that ”Mei” may mean “value” in Mandarin (Oh man, I’m laughing so hard! I’m hot tonight!). Seriously, though, for the quality and location of this project–you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better deal on Miami Beach.

Miami Beach Real Estate: This Week’s Pick of Luxury Condos Priced Right

Kevin Tomlinson — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 07:18:40 +0000

Ok off the heels of last week’s wildy successful “Great Deals” post, I decided to make it a regular here at the SBCB. Some of these condos may or may not be in foreclosure or bank-owned. I truly believe that the best deals are out there, it’s just that they are being overlooked because many people’s eyes light up when they hear foreclosure or short-sale. Word to the wise:
short-sales and foreclosures are not always the best buys. Don’t tell me I didn’t warn you!
