Another Big Year Ahead with Foreign Buyers

Last Year, 90 percent of The Cherry Group's sales were with all-cash foreign buyers. The Coconut Grove Realtors know the ins and outs of these transactions which are more complicated than what one might think. Considerations include types of visas, moving money from foreign to US banks, installation of utilities and other logistics. We expect sales to foreign buyers will be just as robust in 2012 because home and condo prices are still very attractive, interestest rates are at an all-time low (foreign investors can still get a mortgage with 50-60 percent down) and exchange rates favor the foreign buyer. If you plan to list, please call The Cherry Group at 305.607.8360 to make that all-cash foreign buyer a reality.

Historical Designations Hold or Increase Property Values

After 20 years of Coconut Grove activism and a four year stint as a Coconut Grove Councilman, serving as Chairman for one year, I was richly rewarded last January when I was nominated and approved by the City of Miami Commission to sit on Miami's Historical and Environmental Preservation Board. A few days ago, I received "Economic Impacts of Historical preservation in Florida" published by the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources and the Florida Historical Commission. Contray to an impression I always held, the study shows that "Historic designation does not depress property values and may help maintain value". In 12 of 18 cases studied, property appreciated at a significantly higher rate than target non-historic areas during the period 2001-2009. The Cherry Group, the Coconut Grove Realtors, tries to be involved in every aspect real estate in South Florida. Please consider us and call 305.607.8360 when planning to list your home.
