Miami named as “Most Outrageous and Most Positive” City on the Road to Real Estate Recovery

In a recent interview on CNBC, Ron Peltier, CEO of Homeservices of America, stated that he believes that we are on the road to real estate recovery and expects price stabilization in the second half of the year.  He specifically mentioned Miami as having the “most outrageous and most positive” turnaround regarding market stabilization.

Mr. Peltier said that we have reached a “tipping point”.  Much of this is due to the increase in rental prices.  Many rentals are higher than the cost of owning a home.  Additionally, he feels that there are many people that have been sitting on the sidelines for years that are now ready to purchase a home.

All of this is great news for us here in South Florida and frankly, as Realtors, we have been seeing the signs for months now.  If you would like to see the entire interview just click on the link below.

Camp Biscayne – Coconut Grove’s Secret Sanctuary

There are currently 3 homes for sale in Camp Biscayne. 

 

This home located at 3100 Munroe Drive, has 5 bedroom, 5.5 bath, 8,025 sq ft of interior living area and 124 ft of deep water frontage with no bridges to the bay.  Asking price $4,875,000.

New Sale in Coconut Grove’s Ye Little Wood

Last week we had our first sale in over a year the Coconut Grove community of Ye Little Wood.  It was listed for $599,000. and sold for $550,000.  The property has a 2/2 main house with a 1/1 cottage on a lot of over 14,000 sq ft.  With 2,504 of living area, it sold for just under $220 per sq ft.

I visited this property when it first came on the market and it definitely needed some TLC but there was huge potential there.  Good bones, interesting floor-plan and room to renovate.  The new owner plans on doing just that and making it into a ”green” home.

For those of you who are not familiar with Ye Little Wood, it is a private, gated community of 36 homes just off Douglas Road in South Coconut Grove. It is known for it’s exquisite homes on large tropical lots.

Click here to view the homes currently for sale in Ye Little Wood. In addition to the homes for sale, there is also a 12,050 sq ft lot listed for $899,000.
