matt pici realty: Buy in Downtown Miami for Great Deals on Condos - 10/04/11 06:32 AM
In Miami between 2003 and 2010, around 22,500 new condo units were built.  Buyers purchased condo units at high prices, years before those buildings were finished.  When the real estate bubble burst, one-third of those new apartments were empty and unsold.  Now, over two years later, the downtown Miami real estate market is catching up.  With the population of downtown Miami almost doubling to 70,000 people over the last decade and construction slowing due to tight credit lending, a mere 11% of newly completed condo units remain unsold.
Buyers new to the downtown Miami area are pleasantly surprised to find lower … (0 comments)
