This beautiful home located at 6235 Marlin Drive is our newest listing and it just hit the market today! The property is located in the Kings Bay community, one of the best kept secrets in Miami real estate. Although the home has a Gables address, its location further south places it in Pinecrest’s school zone (Howard Dr. Palmetto Middle, Palmetto High). This home is a wonderful value for the wealth of features it provides: it has a signature Gables luxury feel, great schools, desirable location in a pristine gated community, quiet streets, and the boat ramp provides convenience for boaters.

The most expensive home to sell in Q1 in Miami. Located on Mashta Drive, Key Biscayne

Q1 Single Family Home Sales in Miami-Dade:

Almost all of the closed sales that occurred in Miami-Dade are in for the first quarter of 2011. The number of single family homes sold is up 13% over Q1 of 2010 and up 129% from the first quarter of 2008. The lowest price homes are still far outpacing the rest of the market with 90% of sales going for less than $500,000 and only 3.7% over $1 million.

Below are more detailed Q1 stats for much of the county. Pricing varies a great deal by area, but two of the overall hot spots in the first quarter were Miami Beach and Key Biscayne.
