Location, location, location is always the truth in real estate. While numerous areas of the Miami real estate market offer a variety of single family homes for individual buyers and investors, the properties that continue to remain the most attractive to buyers are those with waterfront views or direct waterfront access.

Available oceanfront, bayfront and Intracoastal lots between South Beach and Fort Lauderdale are growing in popularity among individual investors and developers. Vacant lots as well as homes ripe for teardown and reconstruction are both drawing the attention of local and international buyers. One of the most recent sales along this prominent coastline includes a two acre lot offering 200 feet of waterfront footage within the Miami Beach community which sold for $15 million. Miami waterfront properties are limited, and therefore always in demand. In addition to single family residences, Miami condos are also in demand along the coastal fronts.

South Beach real estate

has been on the rise in regards to luxury waterfront condo sales. There are many popular condos currently available for sale at great prices. Here is a short list of most popular newer construction buildings which are in demand on South Beach: Apogee Miami, both Continuum and Continuum II, <a href="http://www.sunnyislesmiamirealestate.com/South-Beach/Il-Villagio, Icon, Murano to name just a few.

“While the inventory has dropped in recent months, a variety of luxury condominiums still remain available along the desirable Miami coastline, including both new developer construction and prime resales,� said Lana Bell of Sunny Realty.

Of the 5,000 condos recently built in the Fort Lauderdale area, only 70 still remain unsold from the original developers. In the Hollywood and Hallandale beach areas, there are also just a handful of the available developer condo units still available for purchase.

What does this mean? Much of the available inventory has changed hands, from the developers to individual investors and buyers. This capital exchange has freed up funds developers need to begin new projects in the surrounding area. While developer properties have been selling strongly, new developments aren’t expected to pop up quickly. In fact, there is only one project currently slated to begin construction in the area. This project – Apogee Beach, is being developed by Jorge Perez and scheduled to break ground in early 2012.

While the future of new developments are unsure, Miami real estate experts suggest most of the developer attention will be focused on oceanfront or ocean view properties as opposed to downtown opportunities due to the consistent demand for these locations. After the recent market turmoil, many developers are sitting back, waiting to assess what their next move or next project will be.

Regardless of new developments in the area, which will certainly come, single family properties and condos are still in high demand along the Miami coastline, which is certain to remain strong over the coming years.

While it has seemed for a long time now as though the Miami real estate market

might have been in a slump that would take years to recover from, good news is finally on the horizon. Condos in South Beach have started to experience a sharp rise in demand, and Apogee is certainly seeing a large portion of this. These luxury condos are selling surprisingly quickly, due in large parts to the realization that this may in fact be the best building in South Beach.

The condos at Apogee Miami Beach are surprisingly spacious, ranging from 3,000 square feet to 4,200 square feet each. There are only four units on each of the building’s floors, which also provides a level of privacy rarely experienced with condominiums. Custom floor plans, large balconies, high ceilings, and other luxuries certainly serve to make the condos more appealing. All balconies provide views of the ocean, and condo owners quickly learn that every unit has a private elevator to once again help ensure privacy. A fireplace and a midnight kitchen in the master bedroom create a truly relaxing atmosphere, and automated blinds provide a welcoming touch to the space.

Another thing that brings people to Apogee South Beach is the fact that the property sits in the middle of three acres of truly remarkable beachfront property. The landscaping is simply brilliant. The property itself offers a spa, a fitness center, a valet, an infinity pool, and even a large party pavilion. Because of the location of the building, guests will find themselves with the perfect blend of privacy and relaxation as well as easy access to the most popular dining, entertainment, and shopping choices that South Beach has to offer. Apogee is luxury living at its finest, and it is easy to see why so many people are seeking out these condos.

While it may take time for the national real estate market to see a full turnaround, Miami’s South Beach area is certainly increasing in popularity rather quickly. Long considered the place to be in south Florida, Miami is once more a hot spot for real estate investing. Apogee condos are by far the most remarkable in the area, and sales numbers show that buyers recognize this face. This is one of the best and most well designed buildings in all of South Beach, and with architecture by award winning designers and multiple amenities and features, it is easy to see why these condos are providing respite for buyers seeking to get out from under the stress of the recent economy and back into luxury living.

More and more investors are buying properties in Miami these days

Let’s face it, we’re in a strong buyer’s market now and those who realize the potentials are jumping in. The prices for prime waterfront properties in Miami, including Penthouses in Miami are very low in comparison to the rest of the world. As a result, Sunny Realty had sold two penthouses last month in Acqualina Sunny Isles.

So what would you pay for a Penthouse?

A recently published article by www.luxist.com reveals that a six-bedroom penthouse at London’s posh One Hyde Park development (above) has just sold for a record-breaking £140 million, or about $220 million, making it the most expensive piece of residential real estate in the world (in terms of current listings and sales). The massive deal eclipses the paltry $150 million asking price for The Manor, Candy Spelling’s monstrous mansion in Holmby Hills, California, previous holder of the World’s Most Expensive title. While the identity of the buyer remains a closely-guarded secret, speculation is centering on oligarchs and oil sheikhs, the London Telegraph reports. The palatial penthouse stretches across two floors and boasts bullet-proof windows, a panic room and stunning views across the Serpentine lake in Hyde Park.

Barely a month after a London penthouse had sold for $220 million, making it the world’s most expensive private residence, the record has been shattered with the $308 million sale of a palatial penthouse in Monaco (above). The Monaco property, called La Belle Epoque, has quite a history; formerly the home of billionaire banker Edmund Safra, it’s where he was found dead following a mysterious fire that gutted the apartment in 1999. The three-bedroom, 17,500-sq-.ft. duplex penthouse, which includes a double-height library and vast roof terraces complete with mature 15-foot trees and an infinity pool, is thought to have been purchased by an Arab sheikh, the Economic Times reports.

There are exclusive residences, and then there are really exclusive residences in Miami. Apogee Miami is the new “top� of the real estate market in the Miami South Beach area. It wasn’t too long ago that Fisher Island in Miami Beach was the priciest place to live, owing to its average residential sales price of $3.4 million. With Apogee’s selling prices, Fisher Island is about to get trumped. The upper-end of the real estate market has not lost its desirability despite the worst recession since the Great Depression, and Apogee is definitely the upper crust of the upper-end.

Because each unit in the building offers 3,000 to 4,200 square feet of living space and special soundproofing, there’s plenty of elbow room and privacy. Each unit features glass windows that are impact resistant and sound resistant. There are even “midnight� kitchens in the master bedroom closets (you read that right). Situated at the very southern tip of South Pointe, the oceanfront property sits on nearly three acres and offers endless amenities. It’s surrounded by other expensive and luxurious properties.

Despite the recession, South Beach condos have seen sales of multimillion dollar properties on an almost weekly basis. With luxury units like in Apogee condos, many buyers pay in cash. As the economy enters the recovery stage and the dollar increases in value, look for prices on luxury condos to not only hold steady, but spike back up in price. While midrange properties in Miami Beach don’t do well in a floundering economy because mortgages are hard to get, luxury condos attract buyers who have ample stores of liquid assets.

While the rest of Miami-Dade has experienced sluggish sales, the high-end of the Miami Beach market never came to a grinding halt. The richest of the rich don’t need to rely on credit or loans, so a place like Apogee is within their reach no matter what the unemployment rate is.
