40% of EWM’s Current Transactions Are Cash Deals

 Cash

South Florida real estate is experiencing a large increase in the number of cash trasnactions.  About half of my current contracts and over 40% of EWM Realtor’s Inc. overall transactions are cash deals.    With the number of financed transactions down due to appraisal and down payment issues Miami should count its lucky stars that it has so many cash buyers coming into the market.

Edgewater Drive In Coral Gables – Something For Everyone

Edgewater Drive, Coral Gables

Edgewater Drive is located at the mouth of the Coral Gables Waterway.  As far as real estate goes, there is something for everyone on this street.  You can find inexpensive non-waterfront condos on the north side of Edgwater and $16,000,000 penthouses on the south side.

Talking with residents of Edgewater Drive they tell me that they love the street for its proximity to Coral Gables and Coconut Grove.  The street also has a very residential feeling.  It is lined with trees and sidewalks, and is just steps from the recently renovated Sunrise Park.   The street is a haven for joggers and cyclists (including myself) on the weekend who try to avoid the traffic found on Ingraham Highway.

If you are in the market for condos in Coral Gables you should check out what is available on Edgewater Drive.  Condos for sale on Edgewater Drive.  Condos for rent on Edgewater Drive.
