0 Luxury Homes in Florida Top Lists

Posted on April 15, 2016 by Sean Greco

A luxury home is more than just fancy finishes and top-notch amenities: luxury homes are built to perfection with comfort, class, and the home buyer in mind. They are usually spacious and overall gorgeous homes in the best locations. These homes are coveted, and it is clear why. Luckily, we are excited to offer many luxury homes here at RE/MAX Paradise in Miami. Coldwell Banker Previews International’s latest annual Luxury Market Report recently reviewed US cities with luxury homes, and found that luxury homes in Florida cities topped their lists. Overall, the whole country saw increases in luxury home sales.

“Florida cities landed in the most top spots for high-priced real estate, with luxury sales posting double-digit growth in Miami, Naples and Palm Beach,” Florida Realtors wrote about the report.

The report, which can be found online here, also noted that developers in some cities, including Miami, are racing to keep up with demand for luxury homes.

“Views are just the price of admission for the new luxury high-rise buildings catering to the extremely wealthy in New York, Miami and Chicago as well. To compete, developers are becoming more creative with their amenity and lifestyle offerings. (Think sky garages, drone landing pads and pet wellness centers.),” wrote Budge Huskey, President and CEO of Coldwell Banker Real Estate in the report.

Miami came in second and Miami Beach in third place for most active listings over $1,000,000. Miami Beach came in second for two other lists: having the most active listings over $5,000,000 as well as over $10,000,000. It came in fifth for the most closed sales of homes over $10,000,000.

The abundance of luxury homes in Florida and Miami specifically indicate once again what an amazing location it is. With so much to offer, including cream of the crop real estate, don’t wait another moment to check out the homes today.

0 Increasing Rents Spur Brickell Investment Properties

Posted on December 28, 2014 by Sean Greco

As 2014 comes to a close we can all look forward to a leveling off of residential rent, after a spike during the past year of 6%. Brickell Investment Properties has become part of Miami’s downtown residential development this past year and we’re pleased to say will be adding to the 2300 new apartments that will become available within the next 24 months. This is great news for potential investors because the surge in Brickell Condos for sale will ultimately cause prices to level off, offering more opportunities for those who want to live in Miami’s core district, which has seen a massive growth in the past few years. Demand for properties in the area continues to mount, so these new spaces will surely be in very high demand, particularly with their expected affordability.

The new year provides enormous anticipation with this exciting space opening, nearly doubling commercially owned rental opportunities for those who may have otherwise been priced out of the downtown district. With condos in such high demand now is the perfect time to invest before the demand outweighs the availability. To find out more and see some of the properties you may be interested in contact a ReMax agent today.
