Posted in Florida Economy, Luxury Real Estate, Miami | No Comments

A Palm Beach luxury oceanfront home and seven-bedroom guesthouse recently sold for $41.5 million in the highest residential sale in Palm Beach since the housing market crashed.

Gay Hart Gaines, one of the owners of the luxury beachfront home, is a longtime Republican Party fundraiser who also served many years as the national chairman of GOPAC. Stanley N. Gaines is a retired chief executive of an automotive company.

According to the warranty deed, this was a private sale to Endigan LLC, an Arizona-based limited liability company.

The property consists of about 2 acres, with more than 160 feet of ocean frontage and a private road that was purchased in 2003. The property was originally purchased for $6.5 million in 1998.

Bal Harbour Luxury Condos Driving the Booming Miami Market

Posted in Florida Economy, Luxury Real Estate, Miami | No Comments

Bal Harbour is thriving. The value and sales of luxury oceanfront condos rose in Bal Harbour more than any other area in Miami-Dade County this past year, according to data from Miami-Dade Property Appraiser Pedro Garcia.

This is great news for sellers. Condos in the area rose 35 percent this year. The Bal Harbour shops, fine dining and nearby South Beach attract new buyers. The new St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort has also played a part in the increase. The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort development opened this past January and has already achieved $630 million in sales.

Other luxury oceanfront condo developments are also doing well in the area. Property Markets Group is developing the 95 on the Oceana condominium complex.

Ryan Shear, managing director at development firm Property Markets Group says the increase in sales and property value has come from a couple of things taking place in Bal Harbour.

“One is the lack of supply — obviously there’s only so much oceanfront in South Florida,” he said. “And the other factor has been the South American buyers — these aren’t New Yorkers or Americans — in all these buildings.”

Palm Beach Oceanfront Real Estate Prices and Sales Keep Increasing

Posted in Florida Economy, Luxury Real Estate, Miami | No Comments

The news keeps improving for Palm Beach homeowners. The value of luxury waterfront real estate is going up in Palm Beach County, according to the Realtors® Association of the Palm Beaches.

“Pending and closed sales are moving in an upward direction in Palm Beach County, which is very reassuring,” said Bonnie Lazar, President of the Realtors Association. “In addition, February’s median sales price, based on all properties, is up from the previous month and the inventory of homes for sale is down.  This clearly illustrates that Palm Beach County is experiencing a mini-recovery and better times are ahead.”

As sales increase throughout Palm Beach County, the inventory of luxury oceanfront condos is also decreasing. This is one of the best times in recent history to buy a luxury waterfront condo or estate, due to historically low interest rates. If you have been considering selling or buying property, now is a great time to move forward.

New Condo Boom in Miami Hits Sunny Isles Beach

New Condo Boom in Miami Hits Sunny Isles Beach

Posted in Florida Economy, Luxury Real Estate, Miami | No Comments

Sunny Isles Beach is becoming the coveted location for new condominiums in Miami.

According to the Miami Herald, six luxury condo towers are being developed in Sunny Isles, equating to 530 luxury oceanfront units along Collins Avenue. Developers have purchased four additional luxury sites for condos in Sunny Isles Beach.

In order to avoid real estate demise of 2007, lenders are mostly unwilling to finance developers for new condominum construction projects. Developers are now forced to use their own money, as well as payments from contracted buyers for these projects. In many cases, developers are requiring around 80 percent of the purchase price to be paid in increments over time based on construction milestones.

Sunny Isles Beach was created 15-years ago to accommodate international buyers’ demand for luxury oceanfront condos. The picturesque beach town attracts approximately a million visitors every year.

Miami Penthouse Market is Thriving

Miami Penthouse Market is Thriving

Posted in Florida Economy, Luxury Real Estate, Miami | No Comments

Demand for South Beach penthouses is growing larger than the supply, due largely to foreign interest in South Florida’s real estate market.

Many foreign buyers are primarily interested in purchasing a penthouse with sprawling ocean views. However, there is not an unlimited supply of such properties.

In May, a triplex penthouse at South Beach’s Continuum sold for $25 million, setting a Miami record. Another penthouse in Miami was sold for $20 million.

Over this past year, a number of Argentinian developments have occurred in Miami. Argentinian developer Eduardo Constantini broke ground  on a 142-unit condominium project in February. In March, Argentine Manuel Grosskopf paid $50 million for three parcels in Surfside, and Jose Luis Melo has five pending projects, totaling 800 units in downtown Miami.
