When buying Miami condos, cash continues to rule - Condo Vultures LLC reports that from January through March almost 600 Miami condos in 29 different projects were bought with cash in the greater downtown Miami area. According to the Miami Beach real estate consultants, fewer than 120 units in 19 projects were financed.
A principal with Condo Vulture, Peter Zalewski said, "Even though the U.S. government is encouraging lenders to once again finance condo purchases, the results have not been impressive in South Florida. Many lenders claim to be willing to consider writing loans for buyers of condominiums, but the end results simply do not support that.”
