Miami Beach

is always busy – no matter what time of year you come to town, you’ll find a plethora of things to do, see and experience. However, this past Christmas and New Year’s have marked one of the busiest seasons the town has seen in a very long time. What’s been going on? It all starts with Art Basel.

Art Basel

for the uninitiated, is one of the world’s premier art shows and is hosted right here in Miami Beach real estate. It also kicks off the holiday season in Miami Beach. Artists, art lovers and jetsetters from around the globe descend on the city for this incredible event. This year’s Art Basel and Art Miami events have been incredibly successful, pulling in far more people than usual.
New Year’s was another huge success for the city, with celebrants enjoying themselves at numerous venues throughout the area. No one knows how to throw a celebration the way Miami Beach does, and those lucky enough to be here for it will never forget the experience.

One interesting side effect of the past holiday season is an increase in the number of condos sold in Miami Beach, both for downtown Miami condos and Miami Beach condos. For example, several units sold for more than $2,000 per square foot – an immediate effect of the visitors coming to the area.

If you missed out on this holiday season, there is always next year. You owe it to yourself to see what Miami Beach New Year celebration can do to lift your holiday mood! If you’re interested in Miami Beach real estate for sale, though, you should get your act together and start now – things are moving quite quickly and several high profile deals have closed even after the end of the holiday season, kicking off the new year with a real bang!
