So what is selling these days in Miami Dade County? Everyone is asking… We will review the sales of Sunny Isles real estate along with Miami Beach FL real estate to see what buyer’s are finding as HOT buys along the ocean..

Sunny Isles oceanfront condos have 6 closed this month worth reviewing. Acqualina, Ocean One, Oceania I, Trump Palace and Turnberry Ocean Colony (2). These selling prices range from $500k (Oceania I) to $2.595M (Turnberry Ocean Colony) and what we see is the sale price to list price ratio ranges from 94% to 81% (both at Turnberry Ocean Colony). The best price per square foot was only $397.26 psf at Oceania I while the highest was $796.51psf at Turnberry Ocean Colony. Much has to do with building age and amenities as Oceania I is from 1990 while Turnberry Ocean Colony is the premier 2008 South Tower. Both Acqualina and Trump Palace sold at $663.39 and 576.37 psf. respectively. What is worth mentioning is the Pending Sales of 2008 are already at 11 which proves a slower holiday season as people travel and families join together. This month each of the above buildings have additional accepted offers but also luxury oceanfront condos including Ocean Two, Ocean Four, Trump Grande, Pinnacle and La Perla. Asking prices ranged from $2.499M to $549k and we will soon see what they’ve sold for. On average, sale price to list price ratios are at 88% for a great 12% off reduced asking prices starting off 2008 right for buyers. Each real estate transaction is different so it’s important to analyze each condo on an independent basis. This real estate blog is only to get an idea of what’s happening in Sunny Isles real estate.

Miami Beach FL oceanfront condos (including South Beach FL real estate) have 9 closed this month worth reviewing. Continuum, Setai (2), Decoplage (2), Roney Palace, The Collins and Fountainebleau II. These selling prices range from $417k (Decoplage) to $2.5M (Continuum) and what we see is sale price to list price ratios ranging from a low 69% (Decoplage) to a high of 101% (Setai Resort). The best price per square foot was only $426.92 psf at The Collins while the highest was $1,500 psf at The Setai Resort. Much has to do with location and building demand & amenities. The Collins is an excellent oceanfront condo conversion in mid beach while the Setai is the sought after and highly desired South Beach Resort. Akoya and Continuum each sold at $581 psf and $1220 psf respectively. The infamous Kevin Tomlinson of EWM sold The Continuum unit after 280 days on the market and saving his customer 16% off the asking price! I’m always inspired by the SoBe Realtor elite and learn a lot when reviewing their sales figures. On average, sale price to list price ratios are at 89% saving today’s buyers 11% off the already greatly reduced asking prices. This month pending sales for Miami Beach FL real estate are very low at only 3 currently under contract (2 at Blue Diamond)! Why is this? My opinion is location vs. selling price per square foot. South Beach is and will always be HOT real estate and in demand. The difference is Sunny Isles real estate sells for a much better price per square foot ($824psf SoBe vs. $569psf SIB) and has a lot to offer new residents with it’s convenience to Aventura, Bal Harbour real estate and both Ft. Lauderdale and Miami International Airports! If it’s the action you desire, I strongly recommend Miami Beach FL real estate yet Sunny Isles real estate is only 20 minutes to all the SoBe excitement. Today’s end users and even investors are penny wise to make smart investment decisions on South East Florida real estate. International Buyer’s are taking advantage of a soft real estate market and the weak dollar offering VERY aggressive prices today on Sunny Isles luxury condos. The new Sunny Isles Millionaires Row is just tremendous with Trump going all out like he did in NYC when the values were down. Trump now has 4 new signature towers finishing this year on into 4Q 2009 along with both Jade Ocean and Jade Beach which I’m super excited about. The selection today for buyers is great but at times may be confusing. The help of a Realtor assisted sale makes the work, time and stress so much less for today’s Southeast Florida Buyers.
