Watching the Market….Or Buying An Oceanfront Condo Now

South Florida Oceanfront condo Great View

We receive a constant stream of phone calls from buyers from all over the world that are interested in purchasing oceanfront condos. There are buyers who are seizing the moment so to speak, and stepping in to take advantage of the great opportunities out there right now.

Are there opportunities? You bet there are and I have been in situations, where once we identified a great unit at a great price, other buyers were also putting offers in on the same units.

..

There are varying degrees of motivation by sellers in all price ranges. There are some units in building less than 2 years old that the original developer still owns that now are very motivated to sell. There are units that are being sold by investors that are several hundred thousand dollars less than what they paid for it. Each situation is different but the opportunities are there. The units that are available under these circumstances include the most desirable oceanfront floor plans in premier buildings.

..

All I can say is that if there is a desire to own an oceanfront condo in South Florida, at this point in time, you can get the best of the best at deeply discounted prices. When the media says…”We are now at the bottom and the market is going to turn around”… the best units in the A rated luxury buildings will be long gone!!!

Pre-Construction Luxury Oceanfront Condos in Miami

Continuum II

In South Florida, the word “pre-construction” can be a taboo word. But not in the high end luxury market. As previously blogged, the high end luxury market is alive and kicking. There are several luxury and ultra luxury projects underway in South Florida and we are told sales are brisk.

We are often contacted by Canadians, Europeans and Northerners inquiring about specific luxury oceanfront pre-construction projects. Each project has its own unique characteristics that afford it a luxury status. To help our out-of towners- we are offering a concise look at 5 of the most sought after projects.

Canyon Ranch: Healthy Living is is more than diet and exercise. The visionary concept is known as “healthy living”. There is an extensive offering of education, nutritional, exercise and relaxation options integrated into your everyday life.

Ritz Carlton: Uncompromising service that distinguishes the Ritz-Carlton hotels has been adapted to their Private and Fractionally owned Residences. Only 86 private residences available in a magnificently designed structure.

St.Regis: Located in exclusive Bal Harbour, the St.Regis offers a 5 star resort hotel and condominium. The signature St. Regis Butlers will offer white-glove service. Of course the finest shopping must be easily accessable…across the street from the Bal Harbour shoppes.

Cipriani: Following in the world renowned Cipriani’s tradition, the 66 unique residences will be finished with the finest imported Italian marble and finishings. All residents will be catered to by the Cipriani hallmark of service and discretion.

Continiuum II: Location, location, location. The Continuum II is situated south of fifth street adjacent to one of the most desirable buildings in South Beach, The Continuum South Tower. Directly on the sand, the facilities and location continue to be favored by a very international crowd.

The Continuum II and Canyon Ranch are nearing completion and are expecting occupancy to begin in January 2008. The other projects mentioned have a way to go.

Below is a chart that provides information on building size, price range, apartment size and expected completion. If you would like to see floor plans or need additional information, let us know.
