In the midst of Miami summertime fun and things are somewhat quiet yet both foreign & domestic buyers are still in weekly scouting the good buys from lingering inventory. Speaking of condo inventory, we see it decreasing consistently showing us a 34% (YTD) drop from July of 2010 and another 4% over the prior month. Luxury condo towers such as Jade Ocean, Jade Beach, Ocean Four and Turnberry Ocean Colony are noticing only 2 to 3 condos for sale on the most desirable floor plans and to top it off, asking 25% premiums over 2009 & 2010 closed sale comparables. Other luxury towers such as Trump Royale have sold the most desirable floor plans while Trump Tower III, the remaining Trump tower to sell out, holds firm on the final inventory that remains specific to the 3 bedroom (A model) which hovers $1.8M.

Besides uptick indicators mentioned above & below, selling prices are setting new area records in 2011. South Beach record setting Apogee just sold the most desirable Miami Beach Penthouse at $11.5 Million. This Apogee condo sale is number 10 on the list of 2011 sales records for South Miami Beach of $1,678 per square foot while the highest sale goes to W Penthouse 6 which sold on July 1st for $2,602 PSF. Miami Beaches most desirable Bath Club 3002 sold on July 20th for $1,000 PSF. Bal Harbours 2011 record condo sale went to One Bal Harbour 1501 which sold at $1,053 PSF, while Sunny Isles Beach shows us the JADE Ocean Skyloft Penthouse condo which sold for $3.5M or $1,020 per square foot.

Statistics for the month of JULY reflect 2,884 total condos for sale along the Miami-Dade County oceanfront communities of South Beach, Miami Beach, Bal Harbour, North Bay Villageand Sunny Isles Beach with condo inventory levels down 34% 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: 1,036 for sale | 99 Sales in last 30 days | Average Days on Market 124 | Average Buyer Discount 5% | Average PPSF Asking $445 / Sold $413

** Miami Beach Condos: 760 for sale | 69 Sales in last 30 days | Average Days on Market 143 | Average Buyer Discount 5% | Average PPSF Asking $297 / Sold $278

** Bal Harbour Condos: 199 for sale | 7 Sales in last 30 days | Average Days on Market 188 | Average Buyer Discount 8% | Average PPSF Asking $543 / Sold $482

** North Bay Village Condos: 88 for sale | 19 Sales in last 30 days | Average Days on Market 141 | Average Buyer Discount 2% | Average PPSF Asking $129 / Sold $123

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 note the selling price per square foot in many cases trending upwards especially since 2009 and depending on the location & type of condo 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.

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.

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). What will be analyzed in this post are statistics and trends for the most desirable luxury towers along the coast of Sunny Isles Beach.

Sunny Isles Condo Index Summary

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?

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.

Paramount Beach

In the last 6 years, We’ve watched the great majority of new modern towers being completed along Sunny Isles Beach with a few of my favorites including JADE Beach & JADE Ocean Condos, Trump Towers I, II, III, Sayan, Turnberry Ocean Colony, Trump Royale, Trump Palace and the Trump Int’l Beach Resort, and with so many great buildings, only a few along the ocean that have gone belly up. The first being the Da Vinci parcel sale & cancellation and now the unexpected news of Paramount Beach (Not to be confused with Paramount BAY). iStar FM Loans filed a foreclosure lawsuit against the developer a few days before Christmas.

Reported in the South Florida Business Journal on January 2nd, 2009the Paramount Beach condos beachfront site has a foreclosure filing in Miami Dade County Circuit Court against Boca Raton based Sunny Isles Development Co., a corporation owned by the executives of Royal Palm Homes plus several other investors, which owns the site.

Sunny Isles Development bought the site for $25 million in 2003 and took out a $32.2 million mortgage with Fremont Investment and Loan, which later assigned much of its portfolio to iStar.

Daniel Kodsi, CEO of Royal Palm and a partner in the ownership of the Paramount Beach site, said the developer purposefully stopped paying interest on the iStar loan because the lender was being inflexible in offering a renewal. Even after getting an offer for a construction loan, the developers canceled the Paramount Beach project in 2006 because there was too much building in the market, Kodsi said.

My opinions: They were smart to cease the Paramount Beach project from being erected. They were set to go up just south of the new luxury developments JADE Beach & JADE Ocean Condos (tough competition) but with pre construction pricing starting too late in the game for a sell out. I remember the hype only starting at the very end of the real estate frenzy. They were smart enough to see what was happening along the Miami oceanfront real estate market and decided to hold this premier land parcel.  If the Bal Harbour land parcel is “supposedly” worth $225 Million and closes anywhere within a fraction of the asking price, then this Sunny Isles Beach land will be well worth the long term hold.

Edition #2 of the 2008 Sunny Isles Beach Condo Index. We will be comparing the luxury oceanfront market from the 1st Quarter Sunny Isles Condo Indexto today’s updated 4Q 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, and a few select others. For various reasons, I’ve left out 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.  Sunny Isles Beach

This year has been exceptionally good for my business with record luxury sales, an invitation to the Million Dollar Guild (CLHMS) and what I believe to be a slow turn around in our “local” market. WHY? Well Miami Dade seems to have set the National trend of a downward real estate market back in 4Q 2005. We are now in the 3rd year of a depreciating market seeing approximately 35 to 40% depreciated real estate values. Inventory has decreased month over month from 2008 (although insignificant numbers). We also expect to set the National trend for a real estate turn around! In the next blog posting I’ll be elaborating a bit more on this potential turn around including the Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour, Miami Beach, North Bay Village real estate and South Beach FL real estate “Micro” Markets which the Media Drive By’s fail to separate each entity from Miami as a whole. From a Miami Beach micro economists view point, we must 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… it’s dependant on the Sunny Isles Local Market Conditions and this is what I am relaying herein the Miami Beach Real Estate Blog Posts so check back often.

On to the Sunny Isles 4Q 2008 Condo Index… As of today we are noting 1560 total condos for sale in Sunny Isles Beach. This year, there have been 481total closed sales (ALL figures are derived from the Multiple Listing Service MLS on November 30th).

• La Perla- 16699 Collins Avenue | 14 Closed Sales at $403 PSF (2% decrease since 1Q) | 94.9% SP/LP | 190 DOM

Executive Summary- 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 a unhealthy inventory levels in Sayan (28%), Ocean 4 (27%) and surprisingly in the South Tower of Turnberry Ocean Colony (26%). On the flipside, Trump Tower I looks somewhat healthy at only 13% inventory available for sale. In contrast to 1Q Sunny Isles Condo Index, we see Turnberry Ocean Colony and Trump Palace increasing in selling price per square foot (Could there have been mortgage fraud at Turnberry Ocean Colony with a recent sale at 130% of list price?). These number’s are skewed… Taking these luxury oceanfront towers into account, we see an average asking price per square foot at $621 with a  selling price per square foot for Sunny Isles Beach real estate at $526.50psf for a $94.50psf difference from the asking price. Average Days On Market is at 206 DOM or 6.87 months to sell compared to 177 DOM or 5.9 months to sell for an increase of 1 month additional selling time.

• Overall, it appears we are averaging 2.57% depreciation for the year.
• 85% Sale to List Price Ratios
• Days On Market DOM has increased from 177 to 206 Days to Sell (14% more marketing time)
