The great thing about buying at Fisher Island is the fact that so many are vacation homes or 2nd or 3rd homes. When sellers are ready to sell, they usually will do so quickly, so make offers….you will be surprised what gets accepted now in the island for those that want out.

Blog Action Day at Prime Miami Beach

This year over 9,000 blogs across the world have registered to write about Climate Change because there is power in numbers and together we can make a difference.

So how does Miami Beach Luxury Real Estate relate to Climate Change? easy, think of green products, how real estate is built, what waste is produced, what appliances are used, the “walkable” factor of your real estate to shopping and business. No matter the industry, there is something you can do to help our planet.

I have talked about Green Urbanism because it’s a topic dear to my heart and somehow it seems like Miami is distant from many of the walkable communities concept because of Urban Sprawl. I’ve even talked about Green Designer Finisher for your kitchen, identifying recycled glass counter tops. My favorite is Miami Green Houses from the past where I identify 3 Green Mid-century architects and their masterpieces. And lastly, 5 Green conscious moves for your home (anyone can do these).

Oprah Sells Fisher Island Condo

Oprah sells Fisher Island Condo

We first learned that Oprah had her Fisher Island Condo for sale from The Real Estate Stalker back in June 2008.  Guess what?  The TV Diva has finally sold it for $1,100,000 – obviously petty cash for The Big “O”.

The Seaside at Fisher Island residence was listed for $2,200,00 in September 2007, reduced to $2,090,000 in May of 2008, then again to $1,795,000 in December of 2008 and finally sold in June.  The unit is a modest 2 bedroom/ 2 bathroom – 1,838 square foot residence on the Southeast side of the island with gorgeous direct ocean views.

Whoever the proud owner of this condo is, they can boast because of 2 factors – they got a great deal and they can say their place was previously owned by Oprah….not bad.
