Real Estate Statistics and Market Bottom

What I can read from South Florida Real Estate Statistics

Active South Florida MLS listings "FOR SALE"

Condominiums and Single Family Homes.


In the table below, I am comparing active inventories of homes and condos in the most important areas of South Florida.

In several areas, I notice a reduction in the listings of up to 5 and 10%. The tendency is evident in all locations analyzed.

Is this the bottom of the market? A continuous reduction in the listings would eventually mean a stabilization, in the continuous deterioration of prices.

Inventory of homes for sale is an important factor to analyze, and it is also true that practically no new construction has been added to this inventory in the last two or three years, except for some late completion of condominium building.

Affluence of out-of-town buyers and investors has been slowly eroding this inventory and it will continue.

However, foreclosures and short sales could increase in the immediate future, due to the end of some banks "moratorium" on foreclosures.

In all cases, the above comparison is significant. I don't think it is too adventurous to start thinking that we might be very close to the market's bottom.

Of course, I am not a trained economist. I just use the MLS statistical tools and they reflect what I have been feeling for some time now. The best properties are being sold; the most attractive opportunities are being grabbed. Of course, incredible offers and bargains are around every corner, but there are getting scarcer to find and this definitely not going to last forever. This is not a sales pitch, I promise.

One Bal Harbour Condos

It is evident that different professionals have different choices and most realtors tend to show more of the buildings they personally like and give less exposure to buildings where they personally wouldn't choose to live.

The One Bal Harbour building in Bal Harbour is definitely one of my preferred.

Let me describe somehow the building and then I will give you more details.

When you drive South from Sunny Isles, you will eventually cross over a bridge on the Haulover Inlet. Actually this is where the Intracoastal Waterways connects with the Ocean.



On a corner, right after the bridge, you will notice a large building directly on the water.
This is the One Bal Harbour. The location is unique, no doubt about it.

Otherwise, just read on. Here are the details:

One Bal Harbour
10295 Collins Avenue

Bal Harbour has been for decades a word that is synonym of posh, luxury, and tropical beauty. Of all cities alongside the Gold Coast, none is more romantic and elegant that the Village of Bal Harbour.

One Bal Harbour 's proximity to both Miami International and Fort Lauderdale International Airports, as well as its easy access to South Beach, Brickell and Downtown Miami is an important consideration. The nearby Haulover Marina Center and The Bal Harbour Club, with immediate access to the Haulover inlet and the Ocean, appeal to boat owners. And let's not forget access the famous next-door Bal Harbour Shops

One Bal Harbour, is a 26 story luxury condominium building, projected with the motto "Perfection is Singular." One Bal Harbour is one of the very few luxury towers built in Bal Harbour in years, and the first condo-hotel offered on the island in decades.






One Bal Harbour's innovative Tower Estates and Grand Penthouses range from approximately 2,000 to 8,000 square feet. Most of them boast panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Intracoastal Waterway, Biscayne Bay and Miami skyline.

Regent International Hotels, a renowned hotelier providing the finest services and a stringent commitment to excellence, has been selected as the hotel management partner and oversees the property of this exceptional resort.

Residents of One Harbour condos can take advantage of the hotel's room service, professional spa, white glove concierge assistance, fine dining, and valet service.
