HELLO!
Welcome September! I hope you and our family have been keeping healthy and safe.
News this summer has been all about the number of people leaving their home towns and flocking to Florida in anticipation of the next lockdown.
Billionaire Icahn, the founder and majority shareholder of the conglomerate Icahn Enterprises, has moved his headquarters from New York to Sunny Isles Beach.
Rental homes have been in short supply as demand increased for spacious surroundings to lock down.
The luxury sector has had a spate of high profile buyers both in condos and homes.
Several homes sold on Star Island recently for $12M, $24M and $32.5M respectively. Ken Griffin just closed on 2 adjacent lots on the island for $37M. In July, Stuart Miller, executive chairperson of Miami-based Lennar, sold his home for $49.5 million.
1000 Museum by Zaha Hadid has sold approximately $100M this year alone. My buyer of a half floor absolutely loves the tower and raves about the exceptional service.
Miami still has an over supply of condos in certain areas, but as the population grows, there is an expectation that the supply will continue to shrink. According to the annual The ISG Miami Report, developer inventory will be in short supply as there are very few new towers in the pipeline.
That being said, there are many opportunities to buy now at incredible low prices. Anna Bozovics of Analytics contends "There are plenty of examples of 2012 pricing on resale condo inventory. They are listed at losses to the seller and in many cases well below replacement."
This is the right time to find your home or condo.

Wishing you and your family continued health. I look forward to seeing you in Miami this fall.
