Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013


(PRWEB) April 08, 2013

There was a dramatic increase of 150% in the number of new listings for homes, condos, and townhomes in Port Barrington. The number of new listings rose from 4 new listings in March 2012 to 10 new listings in March 2013. There was also a slight increase in the number of homes for sale in the area, as the number of homes for sale increased from 19 homes in March 2012 to 20 homes in March 2013. Despite the increase in new listings and homes for sale in the area, the months supply of inventory decreased just slightly. The months supply of inventory dropped from 10.6 homes in March 2012 to 10 homes in March 2013. After seeing a large drop in the number of closed sale for Port Barrington homes last year, as the number of closed sales fell from 4 closed sales in March 2011 to 1 closed sale in March 2012, this number remained steady at 1 closed sale for March 2013. After a dramatic decrease in the median sales price last year of almost 70%, the median sales price dropped again this year by an additional 30%. The median sales price declined from $ 215,500 in March 2011 to $ 65,000 in March 2012 and then finally to $ 45,000 in March 2013. This dramatic decreased may be caused by the limited number of closed sales for the last two years. There was a significant improvement in the market time for homes sold in Port Barrington in March 2013. The number of days homes in the area remained on the market dropped from 177 days in March 2012 to only 19 days in March 2013. This number is also significantly better than March 2011s figure of 236 days on the market.

The Top 3 Luxury Mega-Listings and Sales in Miami Beach Condos 2012: Welcome to the 20-Million-Dollar Club

Monday, September 3rd, 2012

Article by Condoblackbook

Just as the heat is making temperatures soar, the luxury Miami Beach condos for sale market has been picking up on the trend, and bolder price tags have created record-breaking sales.

The latest talk of the town is the Setai Miami Beach three-story penthouse that went for a sensational $ 21.5 million, which was, in fact, a considerable discount from its $ 27 million asking price. Nonetheless, this ocean front, three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, Thai-inspired home is not the only success story of the year. Coming in at second place as the most expensive Miami Beach condo sale, is the oceanfront, five bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, two-story Continuum on South Beach penthouse. This luxury condo in the sky went for $ 16.2 million, from an initial asking price of $ 17 million. Following closely on its heels was another three-story Continuum penthouse that sold out for $ 15.75 million, after an initial asking price of $ 19.5 million.

However, those who lost out on grabbing their fair share of stellar Miami Beach condos should not feel disappointed as there are plenty of other properties worthy of consideration, of which we’re featuring the top three. The top contender on our list of most expensive listings for 2012 is a Continuum on South Beach, oceanfront penthouse, spread across four levels, with an asking price of $ 39 million. This luxury residence offers panoramic views of the city and ocean and stands located in the only privately gated resort development in South Beach. Over 1200 sq. ft. of beachfront cabana and guest suites, 11,000 sq. ft. of plush interiors, over 6,000 sq. ft. of rooftop pool and deck along with other signature Continuum amenities makes it one of the most sought after Miami Beach condos.

Next in line is the Continuum South Tower private duplex, listed for a cool $ 35 million. This exquisite residence combines the floor space of three units, making it a king in terms of square footage. Touch panels, exclusive custom lighting, private beach pavilion, foyer entry and much more makes it a true work of art that is meant to take indulgence to the next level. Last, but not the least is the ocean-facing, 1500 Ocean Drive penthouse listed for $ 25 million. With five bedrooms and seven baths spread across 8,400 sq. ft. of utter luxury, 7,000 sq. ft. of deck, spa, rooftop and outdoor space as well as a driftwood color palette for a touch of warmth, this penthouse would make quite the purchase considering it is also the only one with a movie theatre in all of South Beach.
