The Bond at 1080 Brickell…..yes another Luxury condominium coming to Brickell

Tuesday, May 7th, 2013
So far this month I have been going from one presentation to another of  brand new luxury condominiums coming into the Brickell or Downtown Miami area.  It’s just crazy!  The latest project just anounced is called The Bond….yes like James Bond.  The Bond on Brickell will be  located on 1080 Brickell Avenue.  The Bond Brickel will be a 44 story luxury condominium with 323 residences.  The condominium will consist of studios, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units including lofts and penthouses. 
Construction for the Bond Brickell will start this summer and it is expected to be completed by the summer of 2015. Building will feature entrances via Brickell avenue and also via South Miami avenue.  Within walking distance of Mary Brickell Village and all Brickell has to offer—- the Bond Brickell Condominium promises to be a magnificent investment opportunity, the word is 30% of the units went under reservation the first day it was released into the market.  Giving that there just isn’t a lot of empty lots in Brickell to build I’m thinking these buildings that offer the walk-ability factor will be the main attraction for many.

Inventory and Sales Report for Miami Dade County

Tuesday, February 12th, 2013

 If you have been following the real estate market in the past year you will have noticed how quickly the inventories have been dropping in key areas in Miami-Dade County.  As evident in the above chart from 2011 to 2012 we have had a15% increase in Single Family home sales and 27% increase in Condominium Sales (Source: South Florida Regional MLS).

Since 2008 Single Family homes and Condominium sales have gradually taken the upward slope.  Another interesting fact is that in 2008 we had on average a 29 month supply of Single family homes on the market and 40 months supply of condos, it was truly a buyers market!  Everyone wondered how much lower prices would continue to drop since it seemed absorbing those levels of inventory would take a long time.  I remember I had buyers telling me ” the market has not hit bottom yet it will take years and years to recover from this”.   In 2009, less than a year later the supply levels had dropped to 10.2 month supply for homes and 18.2 months for condos, less than half!Today’s inventory levels are down to 4 months worth of supply and even less on rental properties.  Buyers that decided to wait in 2011 and 2012 can’t believe the opportunity they missed.  Today we find buyers facing multiple offers situation or frustrated because properties are going under contract before they can submit their offers.

The market is hot and everyone is realizing that waiting that extra year to buy at a lower price is no longer an option.If you are currently in the market to purchase a property give me a call, together we can find your dream home. If you are considering selling, I can provide you with the latest sales in your area as well as a comprehensive analysis of your property’s value.

Miami takes #1 spot as one of the top “turn-around towns” for real estate purchases!!!

Thursday, February 9th, 2012

It’s truly about time an article came out that reflects the truth about current market conditions in Miami. It is really difficult to make buyers understand that although in 2009,2010 and part of 2011 foreclosures and massive inventory of developer units dominated the market, that has all been left in the past. No longer can you find multiple foreclosures in a building…gone are those days were the buyer can pick and choose and low-ball just about any property. I am not saying you can’t find a good deal or that there are no foreclosures on the market….I’m just saying it’s not as easy as it was in the past.

In 2009 I remember that if a client wanted a 2 bedroom condo in Brickell and his budget was $300k, I would at least be able to come up with 6 or 7 properties to show him in and some even in the newer developments. Today the reality is that to find a 2 bedroom condo in Brickell, Downtown, Miami Beach, Coconut Grove or Coral Gables you have to really search and not have a long list of critireas.  If you are lucky to find something, odds are it will be under contract by the time you go see it or your client decides he wants to put an offer. Inventories have dropped and this drives away the negotiating power that existed years back.

In the past couple of months I have been able to help clients find some great buys in Brickell and Downtown, however that window is slowly closing as I continue to see prices escalate month by month. If there is  a shadown inventory of foreclosures banks have been holding, this is as good a time as any to put them out in the market…we need the inventory!

My Brickell….new condo concept coming to Brickell in 2012

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

I know is hard to believe…. everywhere in the news you hear how bad the economy is and how prices continue to drop in the housing market but…there is always a but….there are currently two new condo development projects on the works for next year.   BRICKELL HOUSE which is going to be located in the empty lot right across from the Jade is one  and the other is MyBrickell.  MyBRICKELL is another RELATED & Arquitectonica’s project inspired by renowned designer Karim Rashid.   is set to be completed in 2013 and will be breaking ground in the Dec 2011.  It’s location will be at right behind the 500 Brickell Condo along the Miami River, steps from the Brickell CitiCenter once this shopping center is built.  MyBrickell will be a 24 story boutique building with 192 modern condominium residences, with a total of 8 units per floor.  Reservations are now being taken at reduced pre construction prices and according to developers 42% is already under reservation.

Brickell House condo will  have 370 condo units with 46 floors. These condo units will be ranging from studios of 400 sq.ft to 3 bedrooms of 1,438 sq.ft .  Developed by Neward Development Group together with Sieger Suarez architectural this project is said to become the next luxury condo in the Brickell area. The interiors will be designed by Yabu Pushelberg, you may recall his designs from the Apogee condo in South Beach. Brickell House will have a robotic automated parking garage new to Brickell condos and it will also contain many “green” features keeping up with today’s environmentally conscious buyers.

 

Both of these buildings are at the pre-construction phase and both taking reservations. There is no inventory list available to the general public as availability changes daily. I have access to what’s currently for sale and as well as floor plans and prices.

Brickell House is the name of the “New” pre-construction project in Brickell

Saturday, October 22nd, 2011
 Brickell House Brickell House new condo project in Brickell set for 2014.  It’s hard to believe it since just a year ago Developers were still trying to figure out how to get rid of all the inventory in all the new  high rise towers between the Brickell and Downtown areas, however as announced on Monday by Developer Newgard.  This new project will be located in the empty lot  right in front of The Jade Condomini…um between 13th and 14th street right on Brickell Bay Drive.This $170 million dollar project will have a total of  374 residences on a 46 story tower.  It is said to start somewhere in the low $200k’s for what I imagine would be the 1 bedroom lower floor units.  Some of the most outstanding features will include a rooftop sky-deck and an automated robotic parking garage.  I imagine with time more details will be released on the project, as for now any potential buyers will need to have 70% cash down, which basically will eliminate many of the local buyers.
