The Ultra Luxury Condo Market By Ashley Cusack, EWM Realtors: REPLY  Ten years ago, there were only 14 condo listings on the market in Miami-Dade in excess of $5,000,000. It's hard to imagine that's true considering today there are 114 units listed over $5,000,000. Much of that has to do with the fact that back then there weren't many buildings with units that justified that price - numerous luxury buildings have since gone up, creating this ultra luxury market. There are more condos on the market today priced over $5,000,000 than ever before, and the trend is increasing. However, last year there were 35 sales of these units, which is more condo sales in excess of $5,000,000 than we've ever seen. In 2011 there were only 27 sales which was also a record breaking year. So while inventory is rising, hopefully the increasing sales trend will also continue. Having high sales like these in our backyard certainly can't hurt! To visit my website, click HERE.* |
Take Office
I am looking to rent a small space where I can teach classes this summer. I probably need the space for as little as two hours per week and as many as 10 hours per week to start (and hopefully it will grow!). Do you know where I can find flexible office space? Thank you!
