south beach: Miami Beach Florida Condos-Monthly Maintenance Costs - 08/22/08 12:47 AM
Several times recently clients have asked me how the monthly maintenance in one condominium compares to others in Miami Beach. Most full amenity buildings have monthly maintenance costs that vary between 50 to 70 cents per square foot of living space.
Always be sure ask is what the monthly maintenance includes. Some condos include electricity and air conditioning, so you want to be sure to subtract that out of the maintenance cost to arrive at the true monthly maintenance, which typically includes insurance for the common areas of the building and the amenities of the condo building (pool service, valet, property management, … (0 comments)

south beach: Miami Real Estate has not bottomed out yet...just an opinion! - 08/09/08 04:59 PM
Miami real estate as reported by the media is in trouble and only going to get much worse. The truth is that real estate is such a local business that each neighborhood can be different. For example, the Brickell area has many condos still coming online, whereas, Miami Beach does not have as many.
There are areas in Miami that have been very hard hit because the condos or town homes built were like many others and had been purchased by first time home buyers who unfortunately bought them with adjustable rate mortgages- often two.
Every area is slightly different, so … (0 comments)

This does not mean that the market has come roaring back. What it does mean..in my humble opinion...is that it is a great time to buy and hold as there are numerous deals to be had … (0 comments)
