Living on Miami Beach certainly is a unique lifestyle.
Your main mode of transportation is a bike or your feet. Only blocks from the beach, the fantastic shopping of Lincoln Road and surrounding boutiques. A fabulous array of dining options. What more could you ask for?
I listed a one bedroom apartment, located at 641 Espanola Way Unit #1.
As soon as it went on the market I confirmed numerous showings. Within 7 days I received 4 offers. Whether it’s for an end user or as an investment a little Beach apartment is a great buy because you are not just buying an apartment…you are buying the irreplaceable lifestyle that comes with living in such a unique place.

So you want to buy a home in Palmetto Bay…
I just listed a house this week at 14500 SW 84 Court in Palmetto Bay and within the first few hours of it going live on the market we had two showings set up for that same day.
It has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, plenty of living space including formal living/dining rooms. A large kitchen with tons of counterspace and an island with sink. Good sized bedrooms. Screened, partially covered patio and pool. Big yard with fruit trees. A garage with enclosed utility/laundry area. Great location. This house is just simply “comfortable,” a perfect family home.
It appears that we are starting to notice a decrease in the inventory in this neighborhood and others nearby, meaning fewer homes to choose from. Buyers are anxious to see a home as soon as it goes on the market so that they can be first in line should it be a home they are interested in pursuing.
Call or email me today to learn more about this property or other listings I have in Palmetto Bay.

Wow….that was fast!
I just listed a home for sale in Palmetto Bay last week and the following day I had three showings lined up. That same night I received an offer from one of the interested buyers and we had an executed contract the following day.
When a home goes under contract that quickly it’s the result of pent up demand in the area and fantastic pricing. We are all looking forward to a smooth closing.

Almost everyone is curious about what is going on in the real estate market in Miami. That goes for residents and out-of-towners alike. And with the consistently changing market it’s important to stay on top of the housing market trends. The best way to do this is to look back over the past year and compare the numbers of today with those of 1 year ago:
In December 2008 there were 14,988 single family homes for sale in Miami-Dade County. In December 2009 there were 8,271. That’s a 44.8% decrease in the amount of homes for sale.
Looking at activity levels, for the end of 2008 there was an average of 625 sales per month compared to 807/month in 2009. A 29% increase in sales!
So, inventory is down and sales are up. That’s great news as we head toward a more balanced market and better times ahead in 2010.
