    With the fall of the subrpime and the whole mortgage market there is an alarming rate of foreclosures coming to South Florida this month. Last week I looked at an Apartment at Jade 2/3 1730 Sq Ft on the 42nd floor ocean view over looking fisher island that was bought for $2.1 M on 5/23/05 it went into foreclosure and the bank liquidated it at $750,000 http://www.miamiforeclosuregroup.com/miami-homes-for-sale.htm Where do you guys think the market in South Florida is going?

    Are those actual pictures of the condos? The one with the high ceilings. If so those look really nice.

    I am a licensed real estate appraiser and let me tell you you ain't seen nothing yet. We are headed for a big collapse in the market in Florida. I all comes back to market fundementals. Most people in Florida make $10-12 /hr most of the properties are priced for people that make $100+/Hr. You have a lot of overseas buyers still but the folks up in the NE US can't sell thier homes to move down to Florida. It will be a couple of years of hard luck for the market in Florida. In my area near St Simons Island GA we have over 2000 homes on the market and only 63 homes sold last month. The market usualy sells 300 homes a month. At current rate we have a 2.6 year supply. Buyers market but homeowners do not want to hear that.

    The condo market in Miami will take 5 years to shake out, minimum.

    The good news here is that "something/anything" is selling. There is blood in the water and everyone knows it.

    There is money to be made in this market however. Its just not how you made money in recent past.

    It is important not to overgeneralize the Miami Condo market. There are 3 divisions of the "Miami Condo Market" which IMO are quite different.

    Miami Proper (mainland): over built with massive number still in progress. not much demand. continued fall in prices IMO.
    Miami Beach (not south beach): Perhaps slightly over built in the short term. slight decline vs flat prices.
    South Beach: very little new construction, what new construction their is very pricey. (new building near south point, approx 4000 sq ft, mid floor $6.6Million!) IMO, south beach prices have already hit the bttom.

    Summary: South Beach is "special". A unique microcosm with a somewhat insulated market, due to it's attractiveness, and finite (limited) supply.

    I bought a new construction 2/2 at the Meridian 5 (corner of 5th and Meridian or 2 blocks west of Ocean Drive and the beach) about 2.5 year ago at 613/sq ft or $650K for a 1060 sq ft unit. It's a corner duplex in a low rise 18-20 ft ceilings in living room, all glass corner construction with a walk out balcony. One parking spot included a small swimming pool and interior court yard. South of 5th is a great area, but I think there are similar loft style duplexes in a few newer buildings in the area that are currently selling for high 500's or about $50-$70K less. I will do further research soon, but since the project is well over due, a local attorney has stated that there is a new federal law that allows a buyer of new construction to cancel their contract if the building does not get built with in the two year mark. Any feed back would be great. Gene
