Last week I concluded the article talking about the enthusiasm which has been growing around Miami these past decades. All that interest toward the city allowed developers to get more and more confident about investing in Miami. From 2000 to 2005 many projects were launched. For several years the market was doing great and prices were going through the roof. But we all know the story of the 2006’s crisis and how it affected the real estate market.
