A1890477_101_12

3 bedrooms | 2 full baths | 1 half bath | 2,075 sq ft | Built in 2014
Listed by Maria Cardenal of Mariana Martinez Real Estate Broker

These brand-spankin’-new townhouses at 2993 Ruth Street in Center Coconut Grove hit the market last month, and were snapped up almost overnight!  Unit 2993 was listed on January 9th for $679,000, and went under contract 5 days later on January 14th.  Unit 2995 was listed on January 24th for $699,000, and went under contract the following day!

These townhouses have 2,075 square feet, 3 bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms, and each unit comes with its own private pool and 1-car garage.  The units feature high-end stainless steel appliances, custom built-ins and ample storage, marble bathroom counter tops, recessed lighting throughout, and beautiful finishes.  Located on a small, quiet street accessible via Virginia St. or Shipping Ave., they are just steps away from the dog and kiddie park (Blanche Park), and minutes from the shops and cafes at Coco Walk.

There is no question that there’s high demand for new (and newer) construction townhouses in this neighborhood.  Within the last six months, a handful of other similar properties went under contract in 35 days or less.  Take a look at all of the sales data from the last six months for properties with at least 2,000 square feet of living space and at least 3 bedrooms, below.

If you’re interested in buying or selling a townhouse in Coconut Grove, contact me any time at 305.799.2124 or lindsayrubens@avatarflorida.com.  Also, if you are interested in new construction listings (like these Ruth St. properties), don’t miss your opportunity to get an offer in!  Contact me today to set up a personalized email so that you are notified as soon as these properties hit the market.

Market Update: 1050/1060 Brickell – Year in Review


1060 Brickell

1060 Brickell

Since I live in 1060 Brickell, friends and neighbors often ask me about recent sales in the building.  I decided to review and compare the sales data from 2013 and 2012, and I wasn’t surprised to see just how much prices have gone up in such a short time.

In 2013, there were 37 closed sales in 1050/1060 Brickell.  The lowest priced sale was unit #2512, a studio that sold for $230,000 or about $383/square foot.  The highest priced sale was unit #4507, a penthouse unit with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms that sold for $1,275,000 or about $497/square foot.

To get an idea of just how much values have gone up in the building, check out the data from 2012.  That year, there were 42 closed sales.  However, the lowest priced sale was unit #1509, a studio that sold for $175,000 or about $317/square foot.  The highest priced sale was unit #1820, a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom unit that sold for $425,000 or about $333/square foot.  What a difference a year makes!

Check out all of the sales data in detail below, and as always, contact me at lindsayrubens@avatarflorida.com or 305.799.2124 for more information.
