When the reports came in, I was in shock. I never would have thought that with a market like we have right now, there is still some fight left for our Commercial real estate. The Commercial Leading Indicator for Brokerage Activity, a leading indicator for the commercial real estate market, has increased for six consecutive quarters, showing that continued growth can be expected in commercial real estate sectors, according to the National Association of Realtors. It is a good sign considering the struggle that the market is experiencing right now. In the third quarter, the Commercial Leading Indicator for Brokerage Activity rose 0.4 percent to a reading of 120.1 from an index of 119.6 in the second quarter, and is 2.9 percent higher than the third quarter of 2005 when it stood at 116.7. Which if anything is a good way to set example for the rest of the market.

The index is at the highest level in the series of the indicator, which goes back to 1990. Although we have a strong uptrend in the commercial sectors, the rise in the index over the last two quarters shows a lower rate of expansion in comparison with late 2005 and early 2006, This means that commercial sectors will continue to grow, but at a more modest pace. Growth in the index means net absorption of space in the industrial and office sectors will continue to improve over the next six to nine months, with rising completions of overall retail, office, warehouse and lodging structures.

The index incorporates 13 variables that reflect future commercial real estate activity, weighted appropriately to produce a single indicator of future market performance, and is designed to provide early signals of turning points between expansions and slowdowns in commercial real estate. The commercial lending indicator is a tool to assess market behavior in the major commercial real estate sectors. Which explain that this year will be on a strong holding stage and will have a good chance of having some critical changes.

Commercial real estate practitioners can anticipate leasing and sales activity in the first quarter to be approximately 2.9 percent higher than the first quarter of 2006. Net absorption in the office and industrial sectors in the first quarter of 2007 is expected to be 70 million to 90 million square feet, with about $315 billion to $325 billion in new, completed commercial construction activity, compared with $309 billion of new construction recorded in the third quarter. From previous year’s numbers it explains how our market is reeling the investment fish. Miami will always be Miami and no matter how hard the market is, believe it will come as ni surprise how the Commercial real estate will pan out.

It is known that all over Florida the national median sales price for existing single-family homes in March 2008 was $198,200, down 8.3 percent from a year earlier, according to NAR. In California, the statewide median resales price was $413,980 in March; in Massachusetts, it was $315,000; in Maryland, it was $283,692; and in New York, it was $210,000. What does that tells us? We are having a good sign on the movement of real estate. I know you heard the news on how bad the real estate market, especially the housing to us all. It is not a secret anymore and we are very well aware of our stature in the current biz. Which brings me to the point on which the Florida real estate market is outside looking in when it comes to progress.

It was reported last month, interest rates for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.92

 Percent, down from the average rate of 6.18 percent in April 2007, according to Freddie Mac, FAR’s sales figures reflect closings, which typically occur 30 to 90 days after sales contracts are written. That is a good upgrade considering that predictions said that the market is looking downward for the rest of the season. Consider it as a warning but never loose hope. I for starters was surprised when I learned that compared to last month the single-family homes did made a movement. It’s good to learn that there is still hope out there. Although we are all are on for the ride, being optimistic sometimes gives you confidence as well.

Like report says, Several of Miami’s metropolitan statistical areas showed gains in existing home sales for the month. Realtors around the state reported an increase in phone calls, home showings and other business activity, as well as higher pending home sales in their markets. Pending sales are based on contracts signed but not closed. Among the state’s smaller markets, the Fort Pierce-Port St. Lucie MSA reported a total of 388 homes sold in April compared to 290 homes a year ago for a 34 percent increase. The existing home median sales price was $159,200; a year ago, it was $242,600 for a 34 percent decrease. A total of 101 existing condos sold in the MSA last month compared to 83 condos the previous April for a 22 percent increase. The market’s existing condo median price was $151,700; a year ago, it was $163,800 for a decrease of 7 percent.

Experts say that it appears that buyer activity is increasing and the market is beginning to stabilize. We’re working through inventory and that’s encouraging our area is thriving in terms of business diversity and job opportunities relating to bio-tech and research industries. The environment for buyers couldn’t be better mortgage rates are still at historic lows and Congress is working on legislation that will boost the recovery of the housing sector. We all know that activity is always the key and this time the belief that the market can still plays out a significant role to the overall improvement Florida real estate will rely heavily on changes that will be made but until then every progress can spark little hope to all of us.

Is the market progressing? Well that is the obvious question statewide. We all are aware on the previous reports that the numbers in Florida’s market is dipping in an all-time low. Well, on the Florida Realtors statewide reported an upswing in existing home and condominium sales from March to April 2008, according to the latest housing statistics released by the Florida Association of Realtors. A total of 11,200 existing single-family homes changed hands in April, a 20 percent increase over the previous month when 9,330 homes sold. Existing condo sales statewide rose 21.6 percent, with 3,900 units sold in April compared with 3,207 condos in March. I think that is good news considering the hit that the nation has been getting from the drought.

It is reported that the median price for existing condos increased slightly as well during the one-month period. The median price of an existing condo in April was $179,200, up 1.6 percent from March’s figure of $176,300. In the latest National Association of Realtors housing outlook, experts predicts that home sales and prices throughout most of the nation will improve in the second half of the year, especially if access to mortgages backed by the Federal Housing Administration, increases. There are many reasons for people to get into the housing market today, and very few reasons not to. With the plentiful supply of homes for sale at affordable prices, interest rates approaching 40-year lows, and the strong track record of housing as a good long-term investment, conditions are ripe for buyers. Experts see a bright light and I think it is a good sign after all.

When we compare it to the year-to-year comparison, a total of 11,200 existing homes sold statewide last month while 12,358 homes sold in April 2007 for a decrease of 9 percent, according to FAR. Florida’s median sales price for existing homes last month was $198,900; a year ago, it was $239,000 for a 17 percent decrease. But, looking back to April 2003, the statewide median sales price for single-family homes has increased about 30.9 percent over the five-year-period, according to FAR records at that time, the statewide existing-home median price was $151,900. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less. Which is another sign that the market is showing signs of life with the update, the current situation is a testimonial on how the market can move further.

Going back to the year-to-year comparison for condos, 3,900 units sold statewide compared to 4,633 in April 2007 for a 16 percent decline. The statewide existing-condo median sales price last month was $179,200; in April 2007 it was $221,300 for a 19 percent decrease. NAR reported the national median existing condo price was $219,400 in March 2008. An expert calls it a good sign and why wouldn’t it? We hardly been showing promise over the past few months and criticism from the people in the inner circles are giving the thumbs down. Well now that we have numbers to back our claims of having life in the market it is positive that the market is on a good sign now. Let it be known that there are struggles and there are sacrifices and right now it seems like the Florida real estate is hitting its good turn.

Now every people want apiece of the action when it comes to Miami real estate it is like the very basic instinct for the business minded ones. Well my only advice for now is, be aware to these facts: Developers are not Mutual Fund Managers in the business of making you money. They are business people in the business of building real estate. They understand the Real Estate market just like you do, like everybody else and they make the most profit by selling for the highest price. This is the myth that could cause investors not making the right decision. Furthermore the right thing to consider is to make a decent research on how the Miami preconstruction market works in its own way. So, do your own research, the Internet can be a great aid in finding initial information. After doing some initial research, find a good realtor that understands the market and Preconstruction to help you evaluate the options you have available.

It is necessary to know someone who knows something about the market. If you’re contacting the developer directly, you could be taking a gamble since the sales staff has no loyalty to you to disclose vital information, they work for the developer. Go with a knowledgeable local realtor to represent you. You can find realtors to provide this free service. They are paid commission by the developer and your price is the same. The common knowledge to realtors sometimes is they will hustle clients, well erase that thought and know that realtors are there to help you have knowledge on the biz. If there are some which crosses the lines I bet they are few. The market can always be different and always changes so it’ll be vital to know experts on these fields.

And then there is the question “What Miami Preconstruction investing do you choose?”
well Waterfront Real Estate is the safest investing possible. Tens of thousands are moving to Miami area every month and most asking for waterfront or oceanfront real estate. They are willing to pay a good premium to enjoy the life style. There is a lot more details that cannot be covered here.  If you ask why, my answer to you is it is in demand and always a trend. Of course if you have money and want to move to Miami, you’ll very well choose to live on the part where it is mostly known for, the waterfronts. It is a common knowledge but not a limited one. Always know what the market can give you. Miami Preconstruction and Miami Real Estate have been very rewarding to its investors. If you’re looking for long term investing, this is a great vehicle for good ROI with little effort.

It is tough when you don’t know about something you want to invest into. Like say for example, Miami Preconstruction Real Estate investing, it is something that people look into especially with the state of the overall market nationwide, people tends to look to what will be beneficial. So what is Miami real estate investing exactly? Well it is buying properties prior to their construction. For example, a condo that will be built in 2 years, you can put a small deposit to hold the condo and capture the appreciation during the 2 years, which is the time it takes for the condo to be built. By then you’ll get to reserve the unit and in time it’ll be yours. It’s what most of the condo investors do nowadays to reserve multiple units for them to invest their money and in the end have a good business.

Now if you are wondering why is Miami Preconstruction investing attractive to investors? Well let me tell you that there is no carrying costs during the 2 years till the condo are built. There is no mortgage, no taxes, and no expenses at all. Most of all, you do not need to manage tenants which can be a concern for Real Estate investors. Also, you do not need to qualify for mortgage. So, regardless of your credit history, developers will sell you a unit. So a person who wants to invest on a property often takes a look into the preconstruction real estate first to vie leverage.

Next question that you might ask is how to calculate your return on Miami Preconstruction Real Estate investing? It’s actually easy, if the condo for example priced at $500K, typically, in the Miami market, developer would require 20% deposit. 10% at contract time and additional 10% when construction begins, so, your total out of pocket deposit would be 100K which 20% of 500K. It is that simple and, no other costs or additional expenses to be add just the simple deal that you and the realtor will end up. You don’t need to get have a hard time calculating percentages it is all simple.

It is widely known that Miami Real Estate market has been appreciating over 25% annually. However, for this example, let’s assume Miami Real Estate will appreciate 20% annually. By the end of the first year, this condo that has not been built yet would have already appreciated from $500K to $600K. Which means you have made $100K on your investing of $100K? That 100% return in one year. In other words, you could double your capital every year. That is what makes it so attractive to investors, the chances of doubli9ng up your money is present. Probably the main reason why it is so popular to buyers now is because they know they have an advantage on it in the long run. Thus giving them business advantage if they decide to sell, Miami preconstruction real estate is really making a good impression in a declining market, would it save the overall market in the future? That’s a question we are holding right now.
