Keep in mind that 2014’s average was $324, so it is normal to see fluctuations from month to month. Supply continues to drop in Surfside and prices continue to increase at a conservative level.  Homes priced right sell quickly and those that list high to test the market end up selling for less.  Larger homes are in demand, though – anything goes in Surfside for 4 bedroom + homes. Call us if you are thinking about selling or know of someone who is, since we are Surfside Real Estate Specialists.  We will do a no-obligation consultation to let you know the value of your home in its current condition and will make recommendations of quick updates to sell for top dollar.

It is offered at $1,850,000 We confess that the price is unreasonable at an unheard $915/sq.ft. for a non-waterfront home in Surfside, but is IS new construction.  We will be very surprised if it sells above $1 Million but if the finishes are high-end, someone may go for it. Let’s stay tuned.
