MIAMI CONDO BOOM – OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A CONDO KNOCKS

It is now on TV and everywhere on the News. In Miami, Florida Developers/Banks have slashed condo prices.

Condo Sale Mania in Miami.

Yesterday I took my buyers to Everglades on the Bay, in Miami across from Bayside and the American Airlines Arena, we  then headed  to Icon in Brickell and to 1800 Biscayne in the Biscayne Bay corridor; to finally arrive at  Terra in Miami Beach.
Every Developer’s office we visited had Broker’s like me with their buyers. I had a Deja Vu. As condo prices kept dropping Buyers are now taking the streets to now buy.
At these prices it now makes sense. They can buy a condo in Miami for the same price it would cost them to rent.

Are you ready to buy? Do you need more information? Let me provide you with the right information and  price list.

Contact me through my blog www.realgreentrends.com or email me at adriana@realgreentrends.com and I will help you through the process of buying a condo.

Everything You’ve Ever Wanted To Know About Short Sales and Foreclosures…Its all Happening Here in Miami

                                               

 Today’s South Florida  real estate market presents opportunities for both the investor and homebuyer. 

 miami foreclosures

As many of  us are aware, it is difficult to avoid the subject of short sales and foreclosures when discussing real estate in South Florida these days.  While those methods can present incredible opportunity for the purchase/investor, it is necessary to understand the legal aspects of such purchases.

           Short sales  are a pre-foreclosure arrangement with a lender, whereby they will allow an owner to sell a property for less than the amount of the current mortgage balance.  Up until recently, the short sale process has been a frustrating one.  Understaffed banks moved very slowly to approve these type of sales.  A new trend appears to be emerging however.  As the courts of Miami have been flooded with foreclosure actions, the time in which to adjudicate foreclosure matters has lengthened.  As such, the holding costs incurred by the banks with respect to the delinquent properties has increased.  In light of the increasing expenses incurred by lenders in the foreclosure process, banks have been building up their staff for the particular purpose of expediting the short-sale approval process.  The U.S. Treasury has also jumped on board to encourage the short sale by offering incentive payments of $1500 to the home-owner and $1000 to both loan servers and second-lien holders.  As with any investment, the investor must take special care to research his potential short sale purchase.  While a property may be approved as a short sale, do not jump to the conclusion that you are getting the deal of the century.  You must still do your homework to see what is happening with real estate values in that particular area.

               Foreclosures  occur when the mortgagee is unable to make its mortgage payments, and the mortgagor, through its security interest in the subject property, goes through a legal process which will give the mortgagee title to the property.  Once the mortgagee has title, the property will be auctioned and the mortgagee keeps the proceeds in order to recover its investment.  At a foreclosure auction, investors must arrive with certified funds(the equivalent of cash) for the total purchase price amount.  Investors have limited amounts of time to evaluate the property,  and usually can only see its exterior prior to the auction.  In addition, other liens and taxes may be attached to the property.  When considering this type of investment, the investor must understand these risks and consider an adjustment to the purchase price to account for these potential increases in the cost of the investment property.

                    The investment possibilities are endless right now in Miami.  With the right research regarding a property, you can buy for use or investment a property greatly under previous market values.  When making these kind of investments, take great care in choosing your realtor.  Make sure that the realtor understands the market, the rental values and the potential sales value of your property.  Also, as much as time allows, have research conducted to ascertain what potential liens may have attached to the subject property.  The more knowledge you have regarding a property, the more risk you take out of your investment.

Any questions???   email me at   Debbie@the-beach.net or leave a comment and I will contact you back.
