He Was Framed!

Miami Real Estate: It's Not Just Smoke and Mirrors! By Ashley Cusack, EWM Realtors: REPLY  The excitement of this real estate market is on the rise, and even in the past two to three weeks, I feel how quickly it's turning around! Two days ago, 4156 Pomona Avenue in Coconut Grove closed for $630,000. Listed June 4th with Javier Gonzalez from ReMax for $599,000, the home went under contract with numerous offers in four days, ultimately selling 5% above the asking price. This is one of five non-distressed sales in the Gables/Grove/Pinecrest areas selling above the asking price in the past two months! This week alone, two non-distressed properties in the EWM Gables office went under contract significantly above the asking price, one of which I listed just last week! We had tons of activity and six offers within 48 hours of putting it in the MLS, ultimately accepting a contract above the asking price. It's great to see this type of activity, especially on non-short sale and non-foreclosure homes! To visit my website, click HERE.* |
