by AshtonColeman on Jul.14, 2010, under Buyers of South Florida, Condos and Development, Investments, Luxury Residential Market, Seller's of South Florida, Sunny Isles Beach Condos

Edition #6 of the 2010 Sunny Isles Condo Index

I’ll be reviewing the latest  trends & comparing the luxury oceanfront market from the 3Q 2009 Sunny Isles Condo Index to today’s updated 3Q 2010 Sunny Isles Condo Index including premier oceanfront towers such as Turnberry Ocean Colony, Acqualina, JADE Ocean, JADE Beach, Trump Palace, Trump Royale, Ocean Four, Sayan, Trump Towers, Pinnacle & Millennium. I’ve excluded condo hotel properties from this research including the Trump International Beach Resort, Merenas Resort, Ocean Point and Sole.

Sunny Isles Beach Condo Index (3Q 2010)

As of July 14th, we are noting 1,089 total condos for sale in Sunny Isles Beach down 15% from the July 2009 Condo Index.

In the last 90 days, 176 condos have sold averaging $256 per square foot with a 93% Sale to List Price Ratio and 164 days on market.

Trump Towers Sunny Isles Condos Bought Out by Dezer Properties

by AshtonColeman on Feb.26, 2010, under Buyers of South Florida, Condos and Development, Deal of the Month, Investments, Luxury Residential Market, Sunny Isles Beach Condos

Related Group was bought out by Dezer Properties selling at new, discounted prices..   Trump Towers Condos I, II, III Sunny Isles BeachI decided to take the forbidden tour of the Trump Towers Sunny Isles Beach in January after years of stressful phone calls from speculators trying to sell & get out. To top it off, the news came from every direction of the Dezer family buying out Related’s stake in the entire project assuming the remaining debt after paying off Tower I. After seeing the finishes both condo interior and throughout, noting the well appointed amenities & hearing what had occurred with financial backing by the lender for the next 4 years, I’m now promoting it with all the other Sunny Isles Beach ”greats“ to clients & customers looking for the very best values on new oceanfront construction. Here are the interesting facts on the buyout..

Following months of negotiations with lenders, Dezer Properties assumed the former partnership’s $265 million loan on Dec. 31, 2009 with the bank then renegotiating the construction loan with Dezer Properties directly after seeing successful performance from Tower I sales allowing Dezer to then lower the prices by 30% and now causing a success of new sales in Trump Tower II.  Tower II was relaunched to the public as the premier tower of the three offering an onsite restaurant with an oceanfront setting and great food along with 2 swimming pools to choose from depending on which side of the bed you wake up on.

 The Dezer’s are the real estate moguls & godfather of Sunny Isles Beach condo development. The Dezer family owned business holds 45 acres of oceanfront land in Sunny Isles Beach, with sites for eight more buildings. Gil and father Michael Dezer have also developed and almost sold out Trump Grande in Sunny Isles Beach, a three building premium oceanfront enclave that includes the Trump International Beach Resort built in 2003, the Trump Palace (2006) and the latest Trump Royale (2008) which is now 60+ percent sold out. In addition to their South Florida properties, the Dezers’ holdings include 27 buildings in New York.

“Prices now range from $350 per square foot for most units to $600 a square foot for penthouses. Each of the three 45 story towers has 271 units. Tower I has 260 units sold, and Tower II is about 40 percent sold with 105 sold, Dezer said. During the next two to three months, Dezer will send out closing notices to those who put down deposits on Tower III, and give them the option to move over at a reduced price to Tower II. Tower III was sold out at an average price of $720 per square foot, with some sales at more than $1,000 a square foot!“    - MiamiHerald

 We’re seeing the very best value on a price per square foot basis at $350-$600psf as the low end price point of the luxury oceanfront condos are now reflective along the Miami Dade Beaches.. Sunny Isles Beach real estate specific to condo inventory, has seen a decrease in inventory consistently with 1,053 total condos on the market (Southeast Florida Regional MLS) with 272pending contracts, 96 of which went pending in the last 30 days. Our Sunny Isles Beach short sales are comprised of 193 (18%) condos down from 33% a year ago. Bank owned REO’s make up only 13 Sunny Isles Beach foreclosures or 0.01%.

Where to Find Art for Miami’s Luxury Condos and Homes

by LisaCanfield on Dec.03, 2009, under Buyers of South Florida, Community Information, Luxury Residential Market, Uncategorized

Once you buy that piece of pricey Miami Beach real estate, you need to decorate it. Which is why this year’s eighth annual Art Basel Miami Beach, held at the revamped Miami Beach Convention Center, was an essential stop for those with bare walls, those who love art, and those who just wanted to check out some really cool and beautiful things — along with celebrities like superagent Mike Ovitz and movie star Val Kilmer.

The mood at the VIP opening was decidedly bright, with attention actually focused on the art instead of the economy (unlike last year’s post Wall Street crash event). Several pricey pieces sold. In fact, opening night guests were more intimidated by the width of the aisles at the convention center and the amount of walking necessary to get from booth to booth than they were by the prices.

Artists represented at the event ran the gamut, from top artists like James Rosenquist and Guillermo Kuitca (who has a current retrospective at the Miami Art Museum), to those known for a different kind of artistic talent, like “Rambo” and “Rocky” star Sylvester Stallone. Apparently, he is a very accomplished oil painter. Who knew? Top galleries from around the country were on hand showcasing their top talent, and many were pleased with the results of the show.

Of course, not all the works exhibited fell under the heading of “serious artwork.” Unless you consider a chubby tree made of silver pipes, or a beach umbrella festooned with Christmas decorations, or a bunch of silver chains arranged to spell the word “Prozac,” serious art.
There’s always room for the wild and wacky at Art Basel, including the Chinese artist who has changed his name to MadeIn. As in “Made in China.”

Or, if one if his pieces winds up hanging in the wall of one of Miami’s luxury condos and homes, “Made in Miami.” You never know.

Bal Harbour Real Estate for the Shopaholic

by LisaCanfield on Nov.29, 2009, under Bal Harbour Condos, Buyers of South Florida, Condo Hotels, Condos and Development, Luxury Residential Market

Retail addicts around the world know the Bal Harbour Shops as one of the greatest destinations in the world — a true Shopper’s Paradise.

Now, truly dedicated shoppers are about to be presented with an opportunity to have this world-class shopping destination…as their neighbor.

Located directly across the street from the shops on Collins Avenue, the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort will offer the ultimate home base for dedicated shoppers and luxury lovers.

Developed by Starwood Hotels & Resorts, the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort is located right on the ocean (for those times when you want to concentrate on pursuits other than shopping) at the northern tip of Bal Harbour. It will be made up of three separate, 27-story towers, each housing ultra-luxurious one, two, three and four-bedroom residences complete with huge balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows and amazing views of the Atlantic and the bay.

The 268 residences will share the space with 37 condo-hotel suites, 183 hotel rooms and 24 fractional suites.

Because mundane tasks like grocery shopping, driving and housekeeping take away from valuable shopping time, the St. Regis will offer its lucky residents the same amenities as hotel guests, including grocery shopping service, room service, housekeeping, a chauffeur and more. There’s also a health spa, several swimming pools, sculptures, water features, lush gardens and more.

No wonder these luxury condos and homes start at a cool $1.9 million!

Modern technology will be featured throughout the resort, including a state-of-the-art air conditioning system that uses chilled water instead of heat pumps to cool the air.

It all adds up to a shopaholic’s dream home. But you can’t put one on your AmEx card just yet. While top off of the final tower is just around the corner, construction isn’t scheduled for completion until 2011.

Miami Beach Luxury Homes Going Green

by AshtonColeman on Nov.05, 2009, under Buyers of South Florida, Seller's of South Florida, Uncategorized, Waterfront Homes

Miami Beach Green Real Estate

California and the west coast are not the only green conscious areas. Miami Beach and surrounding area homeowners are just as energy conscious. They recycle, conserve water and energy.  Here are some energy tips that can help you make your home more green:

  • Save up to a third of your energy bill by purchasing EnergyStar Appliances.
  • Insulate the attic and walls to prevent heat from coming in, thus making a huge difference on your power bill.
  • Install programmable thermostats which automatically adjust your home’s temperature whether you are home or away. Keep your thermostat at 78 degrees.  Clean and maintain your air filters every 90 days. It can increase air conditioner efficiency by 5 to 15 percent.  Here in South Florida you don’t need to worry to worry about your heating bills like the people in the Northeast or Midwest.
  • Install ceiling fans and cut down on your air conditioning use. In the Florida winter months, you can get by with using your ceiling fans and keeping your windows open so you can enjoy the fresh air.
  • Use green cleaning products. Look for cleaners in large containers or bulk packages, and buy concentrates, which use less water. Look for products packaged in post-consumer recycled plastic or cardboard.
  • Heat your pool with a solar cover or blanket. Use natural alternatives to pool cleaning chemicals as well.
  • Use light paint colors outside. They will keep your home cooler inside. Look for low or no VOC paint. VOCs create ground-level ozone pollution and carry potential health risks
  • Recycle your grass by leaving clippings on the lawn when mowing. The clipping recycle and you save water use and fertilizer and waste disposal removal costs as well.
  • Use caulking and weather stripping to prevent your air conditioning from escaping and moisture from coming in your home. Moisture is a big problem here in South Florida causing mold and other problems.
  • You can also save costs on your energy bill by doing your laundry and running your dishwasher on off peak hours between midnight and 6:00 a.m. Wash your clothes with cold water. Clean the lint filter in the dryer after each use.
  • Cut down on your water consumption with low flow toilets and showerheads and recirculation systems in your hot water heaters.  Turn the water off when you are brushing your teeth.  You will save at least two gallons of water.
  • Repair any plumbing leaks immediately.
  • Install a drinking water filter under your kitchen sink. This way you don’t have to buy bottled water, and you can save the environment by cutting down the use of plastics.
  • You would be surprised on how much of a savings installing insulated and impact resistant windows can make.  Insulated windows help with noise as well.
  • Install compact fluorescent light bulbs. They produce less heat and are more efficient.
  • Plant leafy trees on the south and west side of your home to add shade.
  • Use an electric lawn mower instead of gas.

Visitors and area residents appreciate the beautiful eco friendly environment that Miami Beach real estate, Sunny Isles Beach real estate, South Beach real estate and Bal Harbour real estate each have to offer. With miles and miles of expansive beachfront property consisting of luxury condos and homes, Miami Beach and the surrounding area residents are conscious of preserving its extraordinary habitats and surroundings while enjoying the South Florida lifestyle.

Let’s go “green” Miami!

Sunny Isles Beach Luxury Condo Sales & Deals of Q4

by AshtonColeman on Oct.22, 2009, under Buyers of South Florida, Condos and Development, Investments, Luxury Residential Market, Sunny Isles Beach Condos

Sunny Isles Beach Oceanfront

Sunny Isles Beach Oceanfront

What’s happening in Sunny Isles Beach and where are these great deals? With 225 luxury condos priced over $1M, where would one begin? In looking at new construction from 2005 and on the inventory falls to 175 with ZERO bank owned and surprisingly only 5 short sales. I’m going to begin looking at the lowest possible price per square foot and start with $500 in which we see the inventory drop to TWENTY! In continuing to weed out the bad from the good, I’ll eliminate 3 at Oceanika Villas which hasn’t even broke ground yet leaving 17 top potentials.

The inventory still reflects a 25 month supply so there are great buying opportunities as seller’s still have strong competition and duration concerns when liquidity in selling is a must. Inventory has dropped from 41 months to 25 months, while closed sales have doubled over this time last year! In summary, still a good inventory selection with trends showing favor to “local” market improvement… we’re looking good Sunny Isles!~ Want more information on Sunny Isles Beach condos for sale or have insights & opinions, leave a comment below for the readers to see.

Drew:
Hello,
I’m looking at a property:- 204 W Dilido DR, Miami Beach. In the sixth photo there appears to be a crocodile in the pool? I’m not too familiar with Miami but I am aware of the everglades. Is this a common occurrence?

Call accepted by operator Ashton Coleman. Currently in room: Drew, Ashton Coleman.

Ashton Coleman:
I’ll take a look at the photo now to see…
Drew:
Hi Ashton, Thanks.
Ashton Coleman:
It is not a common occurrence in Miami Beach.. we don’t see alligators here
Drew:
What do you make of the figure in the pool?
Ashton Coleman:
I’m looking at each photo and which one exactly?
Drew:
Imagine no.6

Drew:
oops sorry wrong one. try this link :-

Ashton Coleman:
sure looks like a gator…
Drew:
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Last heard about a jogger that came to an unfortunate end out there.
Ashton Coleman:
only other option is a palm leaf.. We don’t hear of gators in Miami Beach.
Drew:
Palm leaf? My wife & I at some point would like to take a trip to your town (we’re in the UK) specifically to tour and see the architecture, not sure when yet but would certainly like include these places.
Ashton Coleman:
No problem. With an email address, I’ll send you what matches your exact criteria to begin reviewing..
Drew:
Nice 1. Thanks again, keep an eye on the wild life out there! Bye for now
Ashton Coleman:
A leaf from the Palm tree which appears the same in this image. It’s a very large leaf and what I believe it to be in this photo.
Drew:
I’ll take your word for it but the tail is a bit of a give away with a bulbous body and short stumpy legs!
Ashton Coleman:
OK, Bye Drew !!
Drew:
Ciao for now.

Luxury Condo Sales of Sunny Isles Beach

by Ashton Coleman on May.20, 2009, under Buyers of South Florida, Condos and Development, Luxury Residential Market, Seller's of South Florida, Sunny Isles Beach Condos

Trump PalaceLuxury Condo Sales of Sunny Isles Beach (YTD 2009)

In review of what’s closed in the upper tier sales of Sunny Isles Beach luxury condos, we find 16 sales this year in Sunny Isles Beach over $900,000.  Closed Sale prices range from $925k (Ocean One) to the record sale of $1.980M. The luxury buildings relaying these sales include Acqualina, Turnberry Ocean Colony (both N & S), Trump Palace, Millennium, Ocean Two & Ocean One. Closed Sale Averages reflect a Selling Price Per Square Foot at $524, Average Days On Market at 307, Average List Price Per Square Foot at $605 and Average Sale to List Price Ratios at 86.46%. Interesting to note this time last year (5.20.08) there had been 47 closed sales for a 66% decrease in sales volume.

The record high sale goes to unit #2703 at Turnberry Ocean Colony (decorator ready) which was an exceptional price compared to the 2007 & 2008 values. At only $569SPSF the buyer bought right on the Martinique Model. Last year these units were selling from $2.1M to $2.6M, while in 2007 they were selling for $2.5M to $2.750M. Today there are 3 pending sales in Turnberry Ocean Colony. In 2007, the Martinique (03 line) was selling at $761PSF for a 25% depreciation over the last 2 years. Turnberry Ocean Colony is very traditional in design and has superior features such as the community restaurant, the enormous fitness center & Spa plus the limosine service and complimentary valet for your guests.

Second in line for Sunny Isles Beach high closed sales of 09 was found at Trump Palace PH#5507 and sold at an extraordinary price of $1.582,700 after 61 days on the market. This translates to $579PSF not including the unique rooftop terrace (915SF) with a spiral staircase. Trump Palace has 3 luxury sales so far this year ranging from $1.150-$1.2M ($531 PSF & $554 PSF on 06 line) to $1.583M (PH). This 06 line sold for an average price per square foot of $572 in 2008 and $630PSF in 2007 for a 2 year depreciation of 14% (specific to the 06 line with 2 sold in 2008 and 2 sold in 2007). Trump Palace offers the best value in my opinion with a gated entryway, 4 pools and full access to the resort amenities next door. Trump Palace also relays the healthiest turnover rate with fewest days on market in Sunny Isles Beach. The building is well established, friendly and financially stable.

Poolside at Acqualina Third & final review of highest sales this year were the 2 closed sales at Acqualina which sold at $1.450M ($714PSF on 03 line)  & $1.550M ($689PSF on 05 line). Last year these 03 line units were selling from $1.250M to $1.320M, while in 2007 these 03 line units were selling from $1.275M to $1.365M. The 05 line were selling in 2008 from $1.250M to $1.450M, while in 2007 the 05line units were selling from $1.360M to $1.5M. We see a surprising appreciation in Acqualina {based on the 2 highest closed sales} of 2009 reflecting a 9% increase over 2007 values. There are 3 condos currently pending sale today in Acqualina. High $600′s are a good reference point for future owners of Jade Ocean. True, the Jade Ocean development is uber-modern in design and superior in some aspects while Acqualina is very contemporary in design and has additional superior features including the resort amenities, restaurant and spa. However in an apples to oranges comparison, it’s still a fruit and both developments, including Turnberry Ocean Colony, offer superior residences dependant on personal preferences.

So where are the best buys today in Sunny Isles Beach?

Strictly based on new towers under $600PSF, we find oceanfront condos that I believe are the few positioned to sell as ‘NON’-Short Sales…Review Sunny Isles Beach Condos:  Luxury Oceanfront Condos Here

The truth is in the numbers, 1.888.383.7326. Let me know of any future posts you’d like to see here.

Coffee Talk. Talk Amongst Yourselves.

by Ashton Coleman on Feb.27, 2009, under Luxury Residential Market, Seller's of South Florida

First of all I want to say, it’s not about the agents double ending commission, it’s about the seller’s best interest = Selling.

I’ll give you a topic… High end luxury sales associates & broker’s do not prefer their listings be advertised by other agents. ie) Free additional marketing/property promotions from the real estate community in a strong buyer’s market where every source of promotion helps; “like butter.” Out of 1,550 South East Florida condos over $1M, only 55% of brokers allow advertising on their “exclusive listings.” Out of  90 luxury Miami Beach condos over $5M, 46% allow outside advertising. I’m getting a little vaklempt, talk amongst yourselves.

Miami Asbestos Prevention and Tips for Home Owners

by Ashton Coleman on Feb.18, 2009, under Buyers of South Florida, F.A.Q., Waterfront Homes

Although Florida does not contain naturally occurring asbestos, the substance still made its way to a large portion of the state. Located in the southern tip of Florida, Miami is home to a thriving financial and entertainment industry. Home to Kennedy Space Center and many shipyards such as the Port of Miami, asbestos was a major form of insulation and piping because of his heat, Asbestos House Diagramsound and flame resistant qualities. Shipyard workers, electricians and mechanics all have been likely to be exposed to asbestos.

Potential Miami Beach home buyers or those seeking to remodel older homes are in danger of asbestos exposure because many structures still may contain the toxic substance. There are now many healthy alternatives that completely replace the need for asbestos.

Although the non-disturbance of asbestos materials is not dangerous, the inhalation of airborne asbestos fibers can cause a rare lung-ailment known as malignant mesothelioma. This form of asbestos cancer is one of the most difficult diseases to diagnose due to a latency period which lasts anywhere from 20 to 50 years. Mesothelioma treatment varies, depending on the age of diagnosis and other individual health factors. If you have worked or have been exposed to asbestos, you should seek a medical checkup immediately. Manufacturers of asbestos knew of its harmful components, but continued shipping the product anyways.

It is recommended for home owners or remodelers to hire professional inspectors or abatement contractors who can determine the legitimacy of danger. The Florida Department of Air Resource Management administers an asbestos removal program in order to prevent the release of airborne asbestos fibers in places of work, public facilities and homes. A Daytona Beach Real Estate company reported that many citizens were affected as a result of the release of toxins and spills from asbestos damage. In November 2007, plans to implode the North Miami’s old Sheraton Bal Harbor Hotel were delayed as many in the community feared the demolition would send toxic asbestos dust into the surrounding area. The removal must be completed by professional abatement contractors who are trained in handling toxic materials.

Once the removal process is complete, green alternatives such as cotton fiber, cellulose and lcynene should be considered as friendly replacements to asbestos. These recycled building materials will lower your carbon footprint and produce a healthy lifestyle. These materials can also reduce energy costs in the home. According to the United States Environmental Program, the use of cotton fiber can lower annual costs up to 25 percent annually.
