The Miami Beach Real Estate RE-Views for May 2011
by AshtonColeman on May.10, 2011, under Bal Harbour Condos, Buyers of South Florida, Condos and Development, Luxury Residential Market, Miami Beach Condos, North Bay Village Condos, Seller's of South Florida, South Beach Condos, Sunny Isles Beach Condos
South Beach record setting Apogee just sold the most desirable Miami Beach Penthouse at $11.5 Million and was slowly reduced 48% from the original list price of $22 Million back in 2008. This sets a 2011 sales record of $1,678 per square foot while Sunny Isles Beach sold (auctioned) an Acqualina condo for $3.630M or $822 per square foot.
Statistics for the month of MAY reflect 3,210 total condos for sale along the Miami-Dade County oceanfront communities of South Beach, Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, North Bay Village and Sunny Isles Beach with condo inventory levels down 26% year to date; again this month condo inventory is down 4% over last with what is now an 11 month supply based on the previous 30-day closed sales:
** South Beach Condos: 1,158 for sale | 97 Sales in last 30 days | Average Days on Market 145 | Average Buyer Discount 6% | Average PPSF Asking $414 / Sold $379
** Miami Beach Condos: 838 for sale | 89 Sales in last 30 days | Average Days on Market 152 | Average Buyer Discount 5% | Average PPSF Asking $265 / Sold $247
** Bal Harbour Condos: 213 for sale | 11 Sales in last 30 days | Average Days on Market 151 | Average Buyer Discount 9% | Average PPSF Asking $469 / Sold $418
** North Bay Village Condos: 120 for sale | 27 Sales in last 30 days | Average Days on Market 162 | Average Buyer Discount 1% | Average PPSF Asking $130 / Sold $128
** Sunny Isles Beach Condos: 881 for sale | 66 Sales in last 30 days | Average Days on Market 142 | Average Buyer Discount 3% | Average PPSF Asking $265 / Sold $248
Miami Beach | Sunny Isles Real Estate Summary
Miami Beach condo inventory continues decreasing month over month, sale-price to list-price ratios have maintained an average 5% buyer discount while active days on market have decreased to ~ 4 months to sell. Each of these indicators prove to be good signs for market improvement. Still I’m watching and beginning to see the selling price per square foot trending upwards depending on the location along the beaches.
Sunny Isles Beach selling prices (Ave. per square foot) decreased 2% over the prior month while Bal Harbour and South Beach condo sale prices increased 4% and 6% respectively. Over the prior 90 day period, selling price per square foot has increased an average 4% along the beaches. For the prior month, Miami Beach (REO) Bank Owned foreclosures made up only 2% of our inventory and have sold at 101% sale to list while Miami Beach short sales made up 13% of our condo inventory and sold at 99% sale to list. 77% of all closed sales last month were cash transactions! Miami’s warm climate is most desirable and the market shift is noted as trends move in favor of a new balanced market by the end of the year. Many buyers are in to enjoy the great values of Miami Beach luxury condos and to explore what remains to be a vast amount of buying opportunity along Miami-Dade County Beaches.

Edition #5 of the 2010 Sunny Isles Condo Index
I’ll be reviewing & comparing the luxury oceanfront market from the 1Q 2009 Sunny Isles Condo Index to today’s updated 1Q 2010 Sunny Isles Condo Index including premier oceanfront towers such as Turnberry Ocean Colony, Acqualina, JADE Beach, Trump Palace, Trump Royale, Ocean 4, Sayan, Ocean One, Two & Three, Pinnacle & Millennium and now including JADE Ocean. I’ve excluded condo hotel properties from this study including the Trump International Beach Resort, Le Meridian (now known as Merenas Resort), Ocean Point and Sole.
Sunny Isles Beach (1Q 2010) Condo Index…

Sunny Isles Beach Condo Index Summary
Sunny Isles Beach inventory is decreasing month over month while property values have also dropped considerably causing more sales to occur. The majority of oceanfront towers now have healthy inventory figures as shown above with anything less 15%. Each building tells a different story and the bottom line is you cannot go wrong in 2010 with oceanfront real estate as long as you & the family will use it and enjoy it for at least the next 2 years.
Sellers, are you attempting to sell with little communication on values, marketing & progress…? Call me for a personalized market report for your condo and let’s get started today. Buyer’s ready for a great buy? Call or email for the very best deals along Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour & South Beach. The buyer advantage is still selection & leverage but we are again seeing multiple cash offers driving up values again on the lower end residential market. As inventory decreases I believe prices will start to show favor for stabilization if it hasn’t already..

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
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.

Sunny Isles Beach Condos For Sale vs. Sold

Sunny Isles Beach Months of Inventory
These graphs show the inventory trends and closed sales moving in the right direction for recovery. If these graph trends stay relative we could begin to see solid stabilization next year. 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.

Sunny Isles Beach Luxury Oceanfront Condo Market Index 3Q 2009
by Ashton Coleman on Jul.21, 2009, under Buyers of South Florida, Condos and Development, Investments, Seller's of South Florida, Sunny Isles Beach Condos
Edition #4 of the 2009 Sunny Isles Beach Condo Index
I’ll be reviewing & comparing the luxury oceanfront market from the 1Q 2009 Sunny Isles Condo Index to today’s updated 3Q 2009 Sunny Isles Condo Index including premier oceanfront towers such as Turnberry Ocean Colony, Acqualina, JADE Beach, Trump Palace, Trump Royale, Ocean 4 and Sayan with a few older but desirable towers now added such as Ocean One, Two & Three, Pinnacle & Millennium. I’ve excluded condo hotel properties from this study including the Trump International Beach Resort, Le Meridian (M Resort), Ocean Point and Sole.
On to the Sunny Isles (3Q 2009) Condo Index…
As of today we are noting 1,276 total condos for sale in the city of Sunny Isles Beach. This year there have been 303 total closed sales (ALL figures are derived from the Multiple Listing Service MLS on July 20th, 2009).

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
Luxury 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.
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

Sunny Isles Beach Luxury Oceanfront Condo Market Index 1Q 2009
by Ashton Coleman on Feb.24, 2009, under Buyers of South Florida, Community Information, Condos and Development, Seller's of South Florida, Sunny Isles Beach Condos

Edition #3 of the 2009 Sunny Isles Beach Condo Index. We will be comparing the luxury oceanfront market from the 1st Quarter Sunny Isles Condo Index to today’s updated 1Q 2009 Sunny Isles Condo Index including premier luxury towers such as Turnberry Ocean Colony, Acqualina, JADE Beach, Trump Palace, Trump Royale, Trump Towers I, II & III, Ocean 4, Sayan and a few select others. For various reasons, I’ve left out excluded other great residential oceanfront towers from this Index such as Ocean III, Ocean II, Pinnacle, Millennium and the oceanfront condo hotel properties including the Trump International Resort, Le Meridian (M Resort) and the newest Sonesta Sole.
I believe it best to analyze the local entities instead of feeding into the media’s fear of the National real estate market or even the reports on Miami Dade County. WHY? When you check the temperature outside, do you look at the National temperature or do you look at YOUR local temperature? That’s right and same with local real estate markets… not even Miami in general but instead, it’s dependant on the Sunny Isles Beach ”Local Market” and this is what I relay herein the Miami Beach Real Estate Blog so check back often for new condo updates in the entities of Bal Harbour, North Bay Village, Miami Beach & SoBe. Last year was a record year for business with luxury sales in Trump Palace (4806) and Turnberry Ocean Colony (2401), an invitation to the Million Dollar Guild (CLHMS) and the creation of JadeCondosSunnyIsles.com. Miami Dade seems to have set the National trend of a downward real estate market back in 4Q 2005 and we are now in the 4th year of a depreciating market seeing approximately 35 to 40% depreciated real estate values and in some buildings more. On the flipside, total entity inventory is decreasing month over month slowly since early 2008 (although in insignificant numbers).
On to the Sunny Isles 1Q 2009 Condo Index… As of today we are noting 1,469 total condos for sale in Sunny Isles Beach. This year, there have been 52 total closed sales (ALL figures are derived from the Multiple Listing Service MLS on February 24th, 2009). What we will be analyzed in this post are statistics and trends for the most desirable luxury towers along Sunny Isles Beaches.

Executive Summary-
Taking only the above luxury oceanfront towers into account, we see an average selling price per square foot for Sunny Isles Beach real estate reduced to $489 ($524 1Q) psf “oceanfront” VS. an average asking price of $604 ($603 1Q) psf for a $1 psf increase since 1 Quarter 2008. Simply put, a 7% reduction in selling price per square foot since the previous 1st quarter 2008… we see an average ‘asking’ price per square foot at $604 with a ’selling’ price per square foot for Sunny Isles Beach real estate at $489 psf for a $115 psf (19%) difference in selling price from the asking price.
Average Days On Market is showing an average closing time of 199 DOM or 6.63 months to sell compared to 170 DOM 1st Quarter 2008 or 5.68 months to sell an oceanfront condo for a 1 month increase. In looking at the health of a building we first look at available inventory. I typically relay a healthy inventory level of less than 15%. We see unhealthy inventory levels in the majority of these new luxury oceanfront towers. Inventory has increased in the premier luxury towers of Sunny Isles including Turnberry Ocean Colony (both N & S Towers), Trump Palace, Sayan and Ocean 4. On a positive note, Trump Palace is still trading a lot of real estate with, in my opinion, the best building for the value (Gated. Established. Resort Access. Location.). Trump Palace also sells the fastest with an average of only 85 days on the market when priced correctly.

Sunny Isles Beach Pier
Sunny Isles real estate known as “Florida’s Riviera,” is the northern entity of Miami Dade Beaches and has incredible growth potential. Donald Trump has his name on 6 towers and there are height restrictions of just over 50 stories tall allowing aggressive progressive developments. The magnitude of new development has been stellar and the architecture is brilliant. The selling price per square foot in Sunny Isles is significantly more affordable than South Beach Condos however new towers such as JADE Beach & JADE Ocean may change this in the coming years. The location is, what I would consider, more “family oriented” than South Beach. The excitement and cultural events of South Beach are still only a short drive south yet the amazing shopping of Bal Harbour and the Aventura Mall are each a 5 minute drive with the premier oceanfront location.

An Amazing Flight Over Sunny Isles Beach, FL Real Estate
by Ashton Coleman on Jun.27, 2008, under Buyers of South Florida, Luxury Residential Market, Sunny Isles Beach Condos
What a beautiful City of Sunny Isles Beach, FL. Our Sunny Isles real estate flight begins with the new Trump Towers I, II & III onto the prestigious Turnberry Ocean Colony Towers South and North (16047 & 16051 Collins) lookout for Sayan which looks so small in comparison yet has the most majestic interior waterfall… Is it Oceania Towers I, II & III next? I should know but they have been less desirable. The new tower La Perla (16699 Collins) is found right at the Newport Beach Pier of which the City is supposed to pour money into revitalizing the famous fishing spot. This small tower Sands Pointe, found just south of the MAJESTIC JADE Towers (Jade Ocean & Jade Beach). Let me pause this story by mentioning how incredible Jade Ocean & Jade Beach will be! I’m very excited to finally see and promote the superior project due 4th quarter this year.
Okay back to our trip… Ocean Four (17201 Collins) is next new high rise and moves very quickly through
Florida Ocean Club, Sole on the Ocean (17315 Collins) and Ocean Point as the camera changes positions. Now were skipping a few parcels of vacant land (eventually Da Vinci) into the beautiful architecture of Pinnacle (17555 Collins) into the exceptional Acqualina Resort and Residences (17875 Collins).
Continuing our journey North, I find it funny how small Trump Grande Int’l Beach Resort (18001 Collins) looks in comparison to Trump Palace (18101 Collins) and the new Trump Royale (due for completion this year at 18225 Collins). Let me tell you Trump Grande development DID do a great job with these 3 projects and with the new K-8th grade School across the street, I’m certain it will assist future resale values (+ Publix supermarket and more). An excellent building from 1999, The Millennium (18671 Collins) is next on the flight followed by Le Merdian aka. M Resort (18683 Collins) then Ocean Three (18911 Collins), Ocean Two (19111 Collins), with Marco Polo Beach Resort aka. Aventura Beach Club in between, then Ocean One (19333 Collins) and finally ending our flight through the celebrity community of Golden Beach where oceanfront land begins at $8M.

"The Vegas of Florida" Returns as Sunny Isles Becomes America's Hot Spot
by Ashton Coleman on Apr.19, 2008, under Buyers of South Florida, Condos and Development, Luxury Residential Market, Sunny Isles Beach Condos, Uncategorized
Sunny Isles Beach, Florida
is a two mile stretch of white sandy beaches just 15 minutes north of Miami Beach and 5 minutes from Bal Harbour. In the 1950′s, Frank Sinatra and his cronies played here occassionally ducking out to bet on jai alai and dog races as it was once known as the Vegas of Florida. Now this former Rat Pack playground has come back to life with a fury and is experiencing an exceptional luxury oceanfront condo & condo hotel boom it has ever seen.
With the overcrowding and over hype of South Beach, sun seekers are coming to Sunny Isles as the area is seeing a proliferation of luxury development and high class restaurants. New celebrity residents and European Investors are seeing the great value along the ocean and snapping up shiny condo deals including Terrell Owens of the Dallas Cowboys, according to the New York Times. Here we find the first class services South Beach offers yet a new exclusive location offering additional privacy and a lifestyle of luxury.
- Residents & Buyers + The newest of Oceanfront Condo Portfolio include the Turnberry Ocean Colony, Trump Towers I, II & III, Jade Beach & Jade Ocean, Sayan Condos, Trump Royale and St. Tropez (Bayside). Yes, Trump has been aggressively building seeing the future value as he always does. My favorite Trump quote is… “Don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait.”
- Vacationers & Guests + On the Luxury Condo Hotel side, we explore the finest in services at Acqualina (Rosewood Resort), Le Meridian (M Resort), Trump International Beach Resort, Ocean Point (DoubleTree) and Sole on the Ocean offering serenity, rejuvenation & enjoyment.
Acqualina consists of hotel and private condo residences located at 17875 Collins Avenue. Acqualina Hotel is currently the most luxurious condo hotel on the ocean consisting of 97 rooms and starting at $850 night. Acqaulina has attracted hordes of wealthy Brazilians and Russians who arrive in style driving Jaguars, Ferraris and Bentleys. This hotel has ESPA spa which offers Asian elegances with first class pampering.
If the royal treatments put you in the shopping mood, have the chauffeur drive you over to the Bal Harbour shops at 97th and Collins where you’ll soon find the most exclusive open air mall in the country. The Bal Harbour shops have hundreds of designer boutiques to choose from including Gucci, Neiman Marcus, Saks, Yves Saint Laurent and many more.
For dinner there are many great places like Il Mulino (inside Acqualina) or La Vita e’Bella (at The Golden Strand) featuring Italian dishes. Ready for a Miami martini? Head over to Lime Lounge at the Trump International Beach Resort at 18001 Collins where you’ll mingle with a fashionable Miami crowd of locals & celebrities. This Trump Resort like the Acqualina is all about excess as the 32 story resort has groot style swimming pools, air conditioned cabanas and sumptuous rooms.
The next morning start your day walking the peaceful beach at sunrise and looking for that perfect shell. Now that the Rascal House has closed we’ll be patiently waiting for the new Epicure market (coming 2009) where breakfast will dominate Sunny Isles Beach! I continually add to this blog so if you’d like new updates once available, you can be notified by email or by RSS feed (see upper right column) each time a new posting occurs.
The City of Sunny Isles Grows in a Brighter Image as a Prime Oceanfront Location
by Ashton Coleman on Mar.03, 2008, under Buyers of South Florida, Community Information, Condos and Development, Luxury Residential Market
Recently, an article by Andres Amerikaner of the Miami Herald was written highlighting my favorite city, Sunny Isles. Here are some highlights…
The surge in Sunny Isles real estate has led to an unexpected distinction as it’s shed the run down image of the past to a touristic resurgence of the future. Trip Advisor, the largest travel community online, has ranked Sunny Isles as the top emerging destination in the country for 2008. The company spokesman said this is based on changes in search activity and postings. ‘
“They are the up and coming destinations,” Ferencsik said. “It’s about emerging destinations, more so than it is the hottest or most popular destination.” Brooke Ferencsik of TripAdvisor
The City of Sunny Isles struggled with its image prior to being incorporated in 1997. With dilapidated motels lining Collins Avenue since the 1940’s, the City of Sunny Isles more than welcomes this new recognition as a tourist attraction and wonderful place to live. Now Collins is lined with Luxury Oceanfront Condos in Sunny Isles and Condo Hotels in Sunny Isles such as Acqualina, Jade Ocean, Turnberry Ocean Colony, Le Meridian M Resort and Trump International Sonesta Beach Resort. Donald Trump sees the future value of prime locations such as Sunny Isles and has now built 6 luxury high rise developments with the Trump name on each. The newest tower known as Trump Tower I has begun closings and the deals are to be had! Trump Tower II and Trump Royale will soon follow in third and fourth quarter 2008.
The Sunny Isles attraction is multifaceted. It’s close to the Miami and Fort Lauderdale airports and a short cab ride from the nightlife and restaurants of South Beach real estate. There’s enough variety in each oceanfront hotel, from the flashy to the cheap, to fit any traveler’s budget when coming to Sunny Isles. The white beaches, normally populated by a majority of snowbirds and International travelers, are low key and very family friendly. Shopping at the newly expanding Aventura Mall is a short trip over the William Lehman Causeway into the City of Aventura (approximately 5 minutes). Then there’s the quaint restaurants serving quality ethnic fare such as my favorite Russian or Argentine cuisine which populate the Sunny Isles strip malls. High end spas and food delivery services are easily available as the money has poured into this prime area of investment. Despite the fast paced development of the last decade, the city has kept a homey feel with a small post office, a diffusion of tiny stores, great public parks, the infamous boardwalk off 169th (Newport Beach Hotel) serving some of the best fish sandwiches and a tight knit community which follows the demand.
Ibis Romero of the Sunny Isles Beach Resort Association has been working diligently to make this city what it is today by promoting Sunny Isles to travel agents and tour operators. The Global reach is in full effect with Latin Americans from Argentina, Brazil and Chile, and Europeans from France, England, Germany and Italy form the core of the city’s international visitors, Romero said. These days, French streams from under umbrellas staked on the beach, sometimes more often than Spanish or Russian, two of the largest immigrant communities in the city. ‘It’s buzzing louder every day,” she said. “They’re comparing us to Hawaii.”
With all of the excitement comes a price… With all the extra income and development, the city’s tax base climbed from $1.1 billion in 1997 to about $6 billion in 2007. That is the new dilemma faced by the city, which is poised to start going after the big dogs, like Miami Beach FL real estate, in the battle for tourist dollars. ”You know what? Everything grows,” Romero said. “At the same time, I want to keep it our own little secret.”
And to Andres Amerikaner, Thank you for sharing this positive article on Sunny Isles as a landmark destination. Sunny Isles real estate is a well kept secret with very limited space to build and excellent buying opportunities in each luxury oceanfront condo tower along the Atlantic coastlines. I always welcome positive articles, feedback and area information on Sunny Isles. Feel free to add your comments, knowledge and thoughts pertaining to this post and the Sunny Isles you know of.
