Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Just in! Santa is being waaaay too generous. What a gift! Knowing that another season of good laughs are right around the corner just makes me feel all warm, and well, like I have a snuggie on!

Michael Cohen confirmed the goodness today on his Facebook page.

To be honest, I’d like to know what’s going on with “the most fabulous circle in Miami.” (Watch the trailer, you’ll get it).

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

Monday, December 14th, 2009

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.

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…

Miami Beach Real Estate: Luxury Waterfront Stats for 3Q 2009

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Much like the high-end condos, Miami Beach waterfront homes had a tough go of it in the early part of this year. But, all told, the impact of the real estate correction will be most felt in the luxury waterfront sector. Our first ‘big’ sale didn’t come until June, and still stands unrivaled.

Miami Beach Real Estate: 3QT 2009 Stats for Condos in South of Fifth Neighborhood
