As of February 2009, there are approximately 60 boat slips for sale in Miami Miami Beach and the rest of Miami-Dade County, which includes mainly Aventura, Sunny Isles, Bal Habour, Bay Harbor Islands, Miami Beach, Miami, South Beach, North Bay Village, Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay. For most boaters it is very important to have ocean access, which is true for the majority of these boat slips.
The large majority of boat docks listed for sale are associated with a marina within a condominium. In almost all cases, the condominium association or homeowners association requires an owner of a dock slip to also be an owner of a condo or town home within the same complex. Note that there are a few marinas in the area, which will rent or sale their dock spaces without any need for buying a condo.
There are several docks for sale ranging from 100 feet to 150 feet associated with large homes or residential land. These docks or boat slips share the same folio number or tax ID number as the property where they are located. Prices start at $600,000 for a dock slip (not attached to a house or land) to $3.7 million for those that come with the house or land.
For dock slips from 50 to under 100 feet, prices range from $100,000 to $500,000. For dock slips under 50 feet, prices range from $50,000 to $300,000 depending on the location and neighborhood.
Note that there are several private docks in Miami and Miami Beach, which are available for sale. some are listed and others are not. Below is a short video (just over 1 minute for those of you like me who have a short attention span) of a private residence in Miami Beach, which can accommodate a large yacht up to 145 feet long and several smaller boats as well.
One of the best values for dock slips in the Miami area is the King Cole Condo located at 900 Bay Drive in the Normandy Isles section of Miami Beach, which is about 1/2 mile west of 71st Street and Collins Avenue or about 5 miles north of South Beach. This condominium has a private marina with 30 dock slips, ranging in size from 50 feet to 85 feet in length. The location is very convenient as it is only a few miles from Haulover Cut (near Bal Harbour at about 103rd Street and Collins Avenue) and is about 6 miles north of Government Cut, the only other ocean access point, which is located between Fisher Island and South Pointe (the southernmost point of South Beach). This is where many of the cruise ships can be seen departing on Saturday and Sunday late afternoon.

Seller-Owner Financing Opportunities Summary -Miami Beach and Sunny Isles Real Estate and Beyond
Currently there are 102 waterfront condos in Miami that are offering Seller Financing. For those investors or vacation home buyers, this is a very good viable option to explore. With the difficulty in obtaining bank financing for some buyers, seller financing or owner financing offers a very attractive option.
Seller Financing is also a smart option for Sellers and Homeowners who are having difficulty selling their properties. For it to really work, sellers should have some equity in their home and have almost no mortgage outstanding. For condo-hotel properties and others that are more difficult to obtain traditional bank financing, owner financing is a good idea.
Most owner financing requires a down payment of at least 20% to as much as 50% in some cases. On average we are seeing 25% to 30% down with a balloon payment due after 3-5 years. Buyers should provide a statement or letter from their bank showing proof of funds and should be open to sharing credit information.
Choosing to seller-finance can create a win-win situation for the buyer and seller for a number of reasons:
Seller financing increases the number of potential buyers
Closing costs are reduced
Property potentially sells more quickly than with conventional financing
Seller can obtain lump sum cash through simultaneous closing
Here is a summary of waterfront condos available offering seller financing in Miami Beach, Miami, Sunny Isles, Fisher Island, Aventura, North Bay Village and downtown Miami. Note there are condos available in all price ranges from over $4 million to $150,000.
