Nearly 18 percent of planned South Florida condominium units sold: report

There are around 10,500 condominium units either under construction or currently proposed for South Florida, and developers have sold 18 percent of them, according to a report from brokerage and consultancy Condo Vultures. That amounts to 1,850 condo and condo-hotel units in 25 planned towers. “The buyer appetite appears to be changing as prices — and competition — for distressed real estate increases in South Florida,” said Peter Zalewski, founder of Condo Vultures. “As prices have increased and inventory has decreased in recent years, some buyers — especially foreign nationals with currency advantages — are seriously looking at preconstruction condos as a way to get into the South Florida real estate market.” But given the steep deposits now required by many projects, less demand appears to be coming from domestic buyers. — Alexander Britell
