MIAMI JULY CALENDAR OF EVENTS
 
 
 
Hello,
 
It is hot and steamy in Miami.  My family from Montreal loves to visit in the summer and spend their days lounging at the beach. 
 
News about the residential real estate market in Miami is not lacking.  Every day there are new articles about  high taxed state  residents looking to move to Miami.  
 
Other news relates that foreign buying has slowed down while the building frenzy of the last few years has created a glut of inventory. 
 
It is well know that we are now in a Buyers market.  Prices are down and there are deals to be made for anyone shopping for a new home.  If you're looking to buy, this is the perfect tine.
 
My old time buyers are calling me to get advice about where to buy.    As in 2008, the buying situation is price sensitive and not only area specific, but building specific.   For example, Downtown or Sunny Isles has a lot more inventory than Bal Harbour/Surfside or Miami Beach.  Within each specific city, a price range of $1M and that of $5M do not dictate the same  inventory or pricing.  Finally, within each city, prices and inventory levels  will differ greatly from one building to the next.  
 
You need a realtor who understands the area deeply to navigate the situation before making an investment.
 
This month’s articles are all about this situation.  One news item speaks of the glut of inventory in Miami, and more specifically Sunny Isles, whereas another speaks of the interest in the North  Beach/Bal Harbour/Surfside areas.
 
On the other side of town, the much anticipated, iconic ZAHA HADID'S 10000 MUSEUM is starting closings.  Hadid was known for her sinuous, curvaceous designs that pushed the limits of building shapes.
 
I wish you a Happy 4th of July and good  travels.

Luxury Living in Miami 
Moves North
Shivani Vora - The NY Times
 

 
Opening later this year in North Beach, just up the road from Miami's hectic South Beach neighborhood, 87 Park is a residential condominium designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano.

Not long ago, all the action in Miami seemed to happen in South Beach; visitors and locals had no reason to head to the neighborhoods to the north.

Today, it's a different story: South Beach has remained a place to party, but it has little room for development and it can, at times, feel a little grungy. The beachfront alternatives to the north have become more appealing.

Two in particular - North Beach and Sunny Isles Beach - are burgeoning with new luxury residential buildings and more developed downtowns with restaurants and boutiques.
 
"The property got a lot of buzz and helped people remember that North Beach existed," said Joelle Oiknine, a senior global real estate adviser with One Sotheby's International Realty.
 
 

 
In Miami, There Are Too Many Condos and Not Enough Foreign Buyers
Candace Tayloy - WSJ
 
An exodus of Latin Americans is exacerbating oversupply at the high-end, but local real estate players are banking on U.S. buyers fleeing high-tax states to give the market a much-needed boost

 
After being kidnapped seven years ago, Juerg Degenmann decided to move his family from Venezuela to Miami for increased security. Long a playground for Venezuelan elites, the Florida city seemed like a natural choice, especially since Mr. Degenmann already owned a vacation home there, and he had bought and sold several investment properties in the area. 

He and his wife paid $1.85 million in 2013 for a waterfront townhome in Sunny Isles Beach with its own boat dock. He'd always done well with Miami investment properties, so he was unpleasantly surprised when he put the unit on the market for $1.9 million a year ago and got no offers. Now he's reduced the price to $1.495 million; it still hasn't sold. "I will never get the money I paid for it," he said. "The situation in Miami is tough."

TESTIMONIALS
 

Joelle guided my husband and me through the purchase of a pre-construction condominium. As a fellow realtor from out of town, I was impressed by her knowledge, integrity and keen negotiating skills. I have recommended Joelle to people I know who are looking to buy or lease in the Miami market. They will not be disappointed!
