How’s the market?
In Miami, the condo market is divided, showing robust sales in luxury new developments while older buildings face sluggish sales and increasing inventory. According to the Miami Association of Realtors, the median sale price for condos and townhouses rose by 8% in February compared to March of the previous year.
Lionel Messi’s incredible football career has cemented his status as one of the greatest players of all time, with countless accolades and achievements. But beyond the pitch, his business acumen is equally impressive.
While many footballers often squander their wealth, Messi is setting his family up for generations through wise investments. His strategic real estate acquisitions in Miami showcase his forward-thinking approach to securing financial stability beyond his playing days. Messi is not only a football legend but a savvy businessman who is ensuring his legacy and providing a strong foundation for his family’s future.
