Miami, FL Real Estate News

Home values, foreclosures, mortgages, all those factors that are keeping the real estate market in a tug of war of sorts have collectively turned the market into one giant market full of affordable housing for first time buyers. Just a few years ago South Florida homeownership seemed nearly impossible. The prices for even a modest two bedroom home in Sunny Isles Beach were usually out of the price range for the average individual, skewing the market heavily towards deep pocketed investors more than the people who were actually trying to become first time homeowners. While the real estate market does offer numerous investment opportunities for the same intrepid investors that took advantage of the buying and selling boom of yesteryear, prices have dropped enormously and those with good c...

The real estate market is no longer limited to cautious buyers, eager sellers and concerned homeowners. The foreclosure situation has increased to the point where banks are also struggling to get rid of the numerous properties they’ve had to repossess and are trying to get rid of. More often than not, banks are more than willing to drop the price on foreclosures considerably but potential buyers looking into foreclosure property must know where to look and how to go about “foreclosure shopping”. Use internet resources. Free websites have sprung up in response to the rise in foreclosures and they’re an excellent source of finding foreclosure property in your state where the deed is owned by the bank. Premium websites also allow you to search for foreclosures nationally for a reasonable f...

About Brickell Avenue Condos  Just north of Brickell Point where the Miami River flows into Biscayne Bay, you can see the statue of a proud Tequesta Indian. It stands as a homage to the indigenous people who first settled this area. And in the 1870's, along the same shores of this river, pioneers William and Mary Brickell commenced development by operating their trading outpost. It was Mary who first envisioned the Brickell we know today. Brickell Avenue Condo DirectoryA neighborhood of wide, gently curving avenues with tree-lined medians and expansive water front estates that would appeal to a young nation's landed gentry. So prestigious did the area become, that before long it was referred to as "Millionaire's Row." The mansions have since given way to towering office buildings and l...

The main difference between writing a contract to buy a Foreclosed property (a property that is owned by an institution) and a Short Sale property (property that is in a financial stress but has not been foreclosed on yet) is control of the process. Here are two contracts I am currently working on: On May 8th I presented the listing agent a contract to purchase a Short Sale property.  On May 12th the contract was accepted by the Sellers.  The listing agent sent the contract to the mortgage company for their review and possible acceptance, rejection or counteroffer.  To this date, June 24th, we have absolutely no idea if this contract will go through or not; Mortgage Company hasn't made any decision.  In the meantime, the Buyer has his earnest money tied up.  This contract is totally in ...

Currently there are 42,402 homes and condos for sale in all of Miami-Dade County of which 811 sold in the month of March 2008. The sales numbers for March are down by 51% from one year ago, however, they are up 3.6% from December of last year. In the last month, the sales increased by 11%, which shows hope for the market, especially, when you factor in the pending sales (the transactions that went into contract), which for the month of March are up by 63% since December 2007. Ths bodes well for the next few months as there are an increasing number of transactions in the pipeline. What has really slowed the market down here in the Greater Miami area, besides the obvious events like the sub-prime mortgage crisis, the war in Iraq and the general overall poor economy has been the increase ...

Empire World Towers  Miami FloridaThe Empire World Towers are 2 proposed super tall skyscrapers to be built. The complex consists of the Empire World Tower I , the Empire World Tower II, and a Shopping Mall. If built, both towers would stand at 1,010 ft with 93 stories each, but could be of 110 stories. They would be built on Biscayne Boulevard. The Empire World Towers would surpass Four Seasons Hotel and Tower as the tallest buildings in Florida and may, if completed before the 2,000 foot (610 m) Chicago Spire, become the two tallest all-residential buildings in the world. Also, the towers would become the tallest concrete structures in the world and be among the tallest buildings in the United States Enter website: Empire World Towers  Computer rendering of the Empire World Towers   ...
