Disturbing real estate trends

I got an email from someone who is moving to Miami, who particularly wants to move to the Grove. He told me something disturbing. He says that various realtors have been showing him the same units in the Grovernor House and Ritz Carlton and asking various prices for rent. One will ask $2800.00 per month and another will ask $5000.00 for the same exact unit.

Is this a common practice? Is this what new arrivals to Miami and the Grove are subjected to in this crazy real estate market? I hate massive development and now I hate these greedy realtors even more.

Any comments?

Tell me something I don't know.

When real estate in South Florida crashes again like it did in 1991, it's the realtors and the speculators who should be strung up by the b@lls.; October 03, 2006 11:04 PM

Hang out and drink canned beer out of a paper bag with the rest of the bums, or walk a mile or so to a "decent" restaurant and hope you dont get mugged or shot along the way? On the flip side, if you ever need a suitcase for $5 or electronics equipment that came out 5-10 years ago, you have about 10 different options per square city block...; October 04, 2006 9:21 AM
