Miami Beach South of Fifth Condos – Direct Ocean Views!

There are currently 23 one to 3 bedroom units on the market in the South of Fifth area of Miami Beach.  This is a great area of Miami Beach to be near every thing without being too close to the night clubs and heavy tourist area.  Your neighbors include Joe’s Stone Crab, The Big Pink, Nemos, Prime 112, Nikki Beach, Smith and Wollensky, DeVitos, Opa, and many more restaurants.  The shopping along 5th street, including the new Publix, make leaving your car at home easy.  Plus you have miles of beach for walking, jogging, or just soaking up the sun, and great parks nearby.

Art Basel Miami Kicks Off This Week

Art Basel Miami starts this week from December 3-6.  With Andy Warhol’s “200 One Dollar Bills” painting fetching over $43 million earlier this month, many artists and galleries are hoping that the art market has also hit its bottom and that this year’s event will prove more lucrative than last year’s.  In addition to the exhibitions and events connected to Art Basel, there will be many sideline exhibits and activities, many of them free.

Miami Beach Condos – Best Buys under $300,000

Even though the week of Thanksgiving normally kicks off the “slow” time for most real estate sales, in Miami it often kicks up the second high season.  With the opening of Art Basel, Miami this week and the start of winter up North, traffic increases again, especially for condos on the beach.  Here is a run down of some of the best buys for one and two bedroom condos on Miami Beach, all in waterfront buildings.  Since most of the current sales are under $300,000, I started there.  The listings from 1980 – current include all waterfront buildings whereas those from 1979 and older are only oceanfront and direct ocean views.  The bulk of the condos are from 1960-1979.  To view additional pages, click on the arrows at the top left hand corner.  To view additional pictures for any particular listing, click on the number box inside the first picture.

The Best Sub Shop

If you have been prepping for Thanksgiving and can’t stand the idea of having to make dinner, check out the subs at The Best Sub Shop.  The tiny little store front shop on 77 Ave. is usually packed, but service is quick, prices are great and their subs really are amazing.

Sales Under $250,000 Drive October's Existing-Home Sales Surge

48.5% of the increase in sales reported by NAR were under $250,000.  In the South, 51.6% of the sales were under $250,000.  The increase in sales was largely due to the expiration of the first-time homebuyers credit, which President Obama ended up extending and expanding.  Most experts expect the next couple of months sales to slide back a bit.
