It is not a secret that the down peak of the Miami Real Estate’s cycle is here. But even if it sounds like bad news, it is not at all!
Miami real estate has been following a sequence since the early industry boom in the 2000. This means that if we have arrived at the bottom line, it will have a fast bounce soon.
The whole industry has followed the same pattern, but the ultra-luxury houses’ had shown the most drastic impact.
According to Miami Association of Realtors, the foreign investment in South Florida climbed up to $7.1 billion dollars in 2017. That is a significant increase of approximately 15% compared to 2016 where the number was only $6.2 billion dollars. Unsurprisingly, most of the foreign buyers are coming from South America. In fact, the political and economic crisis in the area are pushing the wealthy to park their money into a safer environment.

Despite the sales statistics we give out in our market analysis, people still ask me if it is the right moment to sell or the right time to buy a condo. I’d like to answer with another question: what is your time frame?This question is really useful for me to envision the direction you should take. Furthermore, it’s fundamental to clarify the situation both from a buyer’s point of view and from a seller’s point of view.For example, if you are buyer it’s important for me to know if you will buy, remodel and flip the house or if you want to move-in with your family and intend to keep it for the long term.If you are a seller, I would ask you why are you selling your condo? Is it a life changing decision such as moving to another city or are you just looking for a bigger/smaller house?

It’s been five months since I moved to Miami, working for Condoideas Realty Group. I’m starting to be familiar with the condos in the South Beach neighborhood. I thought that maybe it would be interesting to share my point of view about some of them.
Let’s start by the Icon South Beach. What I like about this condo are the amenities.

If you are thinking about buying a unit at the Icon, the prices start in the mid $600/sqft. The atmosphere is quiet, relax, chic and it seems like everything is made to make your life easier!
