South Beach Real Estate: SoFi Condo Stats for 2QT 2009; Apogee Continues Reign; Price Declines and Huge Drops in Sales
Since starting this blog which, which seems like it’s been going on and on for years now, I was really excited to find out that I did a stats post for the EXACT same time period last year. When doing stats, my goal is to not just give the numbers but to show what they mean in relation to something. So many agents are now reporting real estate numbers, ad nauseum, with no insight–and therefore, offers little or no value to the reader.
So now we get to pin ’08 against ’09–and REALLY get a good look at where these ultra-luxury condo prices in Miami Beach are headed.
