A waterfront home on Miami Beach’s Venetian Islands and a condo at the Bath Club led luxury property contracts in Miami-Dade County last week. The two deals were among eight contracts signed for homes and condos listed at $4 million or more between September 8 and September 14, according to the latest Eklund-Gomes report. The report tracks high-end listings included in the Multiple Listing Service.
On average, these properties spent 121 days on the market before securing buyers. During the same period, 42 new luxury listings were added in Miami-Dade, bringing the total to 1,163 active listings.
The previous week saw higher activity with buyers signing contracts for 15 properties totaling $114.2 million in asking prices.
According to the Eklund-Gomes team from Douglas Elliman, led by Fredrik Eklund and John Gomes, last week’s six single-family homes and two condos under contract had a combined asking price of $53.4 million. The single-family homes averaged an asking price of $7.2 million each and spent about 128 days on the market.
The most expensive home to go under contract was located at 315 East Rivo Alto Drive on Venetian Islands. The five-bedroom, five-and-a-half bathroom house spans 4,387 square feet and is listed for $15.3 million with Douglas Elliman’s Dina Goldentayer representing the seller. Joel Lusky of The Brokerage South Florida represents the buyer. Ownership records show that Tom Mooser owns the property through a company; he previously purchased it for $8 million in 2021 and operates La Vaquita Flea Market in Pendergrass, Georgia.
The two condos under contract averaged an asking price of $5.2 million and spent about 133 days on the market, with an average per-square-foot price of $1,410.
The highest-priced condo was Unit 1404 at the Bath Club located at 5959 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. Listed for $5.9 million by Matias and Christina Alem of BRG International, this four-bedroom unit measures nearly 4,000 square feet—about $1,482 per square foot—and is owned by a company managed by Marcelo Campos Onetto, vice chairman of São Martinho, a Brazilian sugar conglomerate.
In comparison, New York saw buyers sign contracts for eleven homes last week with a combined asking price of $70.3 million; those properties spent an average of 246 days on market.
