Grown-Up Time Relieves Parental Stress
From Sharon Radell:  REPLY
Parental stress can lead to increased tension between all family members. Parents and their kids can both benefit from occasional time apart. It can be hard to create a standing date night or other periods of respite from the grind of parenting, but having a nanny or a trustworthy sitter can be a big help in scheduling and enjoying the time off you need. Whether it is a standing Saturday night sitter, a girl's night out, a special event, or back-up care for your own nanny, we've got you covered. TLC has professionally screened caregivers on-call to meet your needs. Click HERE for more information.*

The Brickell Story

From Ashley Cusack:  REPLY  

Miami's real estate market has seen major shifts in the past 10 years - from a time in 2005 when there was precious little on the market, to an overflowing MLS a few years later littered with short sales and foreclosures. The turnaround from the "worst" days has been a quick one, with prices on the rise and inventory once again on the decline. One of the best examples of all these extremes is the Brickell condo market. Not long ago, Brickell was overflowing with (mostly distressed) inventory. Today, the inventory is very low and we are seeing prices rising rapidly. The average price per square foot is $239 today, up 54% since the low of $155 set in March 2009. Inventory is down 71% since the height, and there's only 4.9 months of inventory now. It's still not back to the high prices we saw in 2007, but headed in the right direction!
