Continuum South Beach Expert

The Beautiful Townhouses at Continuum South Beach Continuum South Beach offers a small amount of 3 to 4 bedroom townhouses (there are also some 2 bedrooms available) located between the two condo towers and the pool. They typically range between 2,000 and 3,000 SF. The more affordable 3 bedroom townhouses are located south of the South Tower, facing the South Pointe Park. Those do not offer an ocean view, but provide a great space, great privacy and easy access from the parking garage directly to the back door of your home. That is the perfect property for who wants a “homier” lifestyle and do not mind the stairs. The townhouses located to the East of the Continuum South Tower and Continuum North Tower provide great views of the ocean and fabulous private rooftop terraces. Those townhouses trade at a higher price per square foot and some of the renovated townhouses even feature a private elevator.

Choosing the Right Floor Plan at Continuum Condo in South Beach   There are tremendous differences in the floor plan configuration and by consequence in a better or worse use of space. All condos tend to have some good and bad floor plans and Continuum is no exception. Remember though, it is all relative so when we discuss a floor plan that is less than optimal, in terms of views or configuration, the price per SF is often much less than a superior counterpart. Additionally, finishes vary enormously and we personally know of units with multi million dollar build-outs, which move the value significantly. Not just because of the finishes, but because some have been immeasurably altered from the original developer’s plans and this needs to be respected too. This is an obvious caveat to most so let’s move on into the ‘meat’ of the blog! The Best Floor Plans at Continuum in South of Fifth:  Floor Plans at Continuum South Tower Beware of Long and Dark Corridors A few fl...

Selling vs Renting at Continuum We have spoken to several Continuum owners who have decided they want to move to a single-family home. They have decided to make the move, but they are not sure yet on whether they want to list their Continuum unit for sale or for rent. There are a few aspects to keep in mind while making this decision. In this blog we discuss the questions one needs to ask in order to make the best decision on whether to rent or to sell a Continuum residence. To Sell or to Rent a Property | Questions to ask Is the market going up or going down? In an upward market it is better to rent the unit until the market is about to reach its peak. This provides you with a nice asset appreciation, which adds to your cap return.  One big question that owners have is ‘If I wait can I sell the home for more later on?”  With this in mind we often ask questions to ourselves like: “What could hurt the market?”: Certainly raised interest rates, reduced bene...
