Summarizing the top 21 most expensive sales of luxury homes and condominiums in Miami Beach's real estate market for the final quarter of 2011:

Miami Beach Condos

As indicated at bottom of this blog post, Eleven condominiums priced over $3 Million sold in Miami Beach in the final quarter of 2011 for an average price of $1,765 per square ft. of living space.

Miami Beach Homes

Also indicated at the bottom of the blog post, TEN waterfront homes in Miami Beach priced over $2 Million were sold in the final quarter of 2011, at an average sales price of $720 per square ft. of living space.


The available Miami Beach luxury waterfront home and condo inventory drastically declined last year. As I previously highlighted in my 2011 Miami Beach Condos Year End Review, affluent foreign (and mostly cash buyers) have been taking advantage of recent real estate price corrections by spending over $3 BILLION in purchasing luxury homes andn condos in Greater Miami. As a result, we've seen a dramatic drop in
Miami Beach's premier waterfront home and condo inventory. The most searched and sought-after Miami Beach waterfront homes are in the luxury island communities of Palm, Star, Hibiscus, Sunset Islands I - IV, and the Venetian Island Chain that links Miami with Miami Beach. The highest priced condo buildings are The Continuum on South Beach, Apogee Miami Beach, The IL Villaggio (directly on Ocean Drive), The Bath Club (North Beach area), and The Setai Condo/Hotel on Collins Avenue.

Given the strong anti-development sentiment and building regulations in Miami Beach, the future supply of premier waterfront homes and condos in Miami Beach will continue to be VERY limited. Combined with an amazing city and beach lifestyle, I believe that high net worth foreign cash buyers to will continue to invest in Miami Beach luxury homes and condos in premier locations. Therefore, I'm convinced that in 2012 we will see strong price appreciation for premier waterfront Miami Beach homes and condos.

Miami Beach Condos

A quick summary of what's been happening in Miami Beach's condo market in 2011, especially for the premier waterfront luxury condo buildings built after 2001:

Over the past six months, the available Miami Beach condo inventory has drastically declined. As indicated in a recent Miami Herald Article (click for details), high net worth foreign & mostly cash buyers have been taking advantage of recent Miami Beach Real Estate price corrections by spending over $3 BILLION on SE Florida Real Estate in 2011. As a result, we've seen a dramatic drop in Miami Beach's condo listing inventory. Given the lack of (a.k.a. NONE LEFT) waterfront land, the existing Art Deco architectural protections and building restrictions, as well as highly restrictive regulatory and construction codes- the future supply of premier waterfront condos in Miami Beach will continue to be very limited.

Especially noteworthy for Miami Beach are the high $/Sq.Ft. closed sales prices in premier waterfront condo buildings such as The Setai, The Continuum on South Beach, Apogee South Beach, and the W Hotel/Condo Residences. The highest priced sale (in terms of $/Sq. Ft) for Miami Beach condos in 2011 were the following:

The Setai Miami Beach Penthouse Penthouse A for a staggering $3,463 /Sq.Ft. ($21,500,000)
The Continuum North Tower Condo #2101 for $1,674 /Sq.Ft. ($5,050,000)
Apogee Miami Beach Condo #1603 for $2,177 /Sq.Ft. (6,000,000)
The W Condo/Hotel Residence Upper Penthouse #3 for $2,142 / Sq.Ft. ($5,200,000)

Miami Beach's latest ultra-luxury condo sales are indicative of a segment of the Miami Beach real estate market that's made an incredible sales comeback in 2011.Miami Beach's waterfront condo market is on fire, especially for direct waterfront premier condominiums in the Apogee and Continuum condo buildings in Miami Beach's South of Fifth Neighborhood. In the past few weeks, we have seen South Beach Condo sales that approach the price points not seen since the real estate market high's prior to 2007.

Many high net worth and especially international buyers are seeking premier, contemporary, and direct waterfront luxury condos such as the twelve acre Continuum on South Beach and the Apogee condos in Miami Beach. The Continuum is a twelve acre direct Oceanfront resort-type condo with unrivaled amenities for residents and their guests. Apogee was built as a boutique condo building, in a premier location across from Fisher Island and "cruise ship alley" with each individual condominium the equivalent of an estate in the sky.

Particularly noteworthy are the premium prices that are being commanded for the larger, more unique ultra-luxury condominiums in these buildings. For example the Apogee Penthouse that closed on April 14, 2011, has two stories and over 6,800 S.F of living space, plus a private rooftop pool. This incredible one of a kind Estate in the Sky was marketed for over one year, and sold for an impressive $1,678/S.F. Also, the equally unique and beautiful combined 3604/03 condos at The Continuum South Beach, with panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean, Downtown Miami, Fisher Island, and the City of Miami Beach sold for an incredible $1,643/ Square Ft. !

The past four months of miami beach condo sales have been impressive, continuing to buck national real estate trends. Miami Beach real estate, especially for premier condo buildings in South Beach's highly desired South of Fifth neighborhood, continues to be in strong demand.

As the Spring / Winter season in Miami Beach comes to an end, we are continuing to see strong buyer demand for premier waterfront homes and condos. Especially in the premier waterfront luxury condo buildings, such as The Murano at Portofino, Continuum North and South Towers, Icon South Beach, Apogee, and The Il Villagio demand is outpacing supply causing condo price appreciation!Further North, along Collins Avenue, premier Oceanfront buildings such as The Setai, The Bath Club, The Akoya, and The Blue and Green Diamond condo buildings have seen impressive sales momentum in the 2010 - 2011 selling season.

Indeed, overall Miami Beach condo sales have been SO strong, that we've had many frustrated Buyers decide to purchase condos which were further down on their list desired preferences / amenities. We've had several of our top clients decide to purchase waterfront condos in Miami Beach that require extensive remodelling, since they were outbid for the premier Miami Beach corner condos with direct Oceanfront and/or Biscayne Bay views.
