The post Yuliya Kachko Presents An Elegant Sunny Isles Beach Residence appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Sunny Isles Beach, FL is quickly becoming one of the most popular places to purchase luxury condos in South Florida. The reason? South Florida’s reputation of hustle and bustle and parties all day and night are wearing people thin, and they seek a much calmer way of life in the Sunshine State. This isn’t the only reason people are turning North for luxury real estate, though. Learn more about Sunny Isles Beach below to see if it’s an option for you.

How was the Sunny Isles luxury market in 2019 compared to 2018?

People are attracted to Sunny Isles luxury oceanfront condos not only because it’s a peaceful place to live. In April 2019, there were 168 condos sold on Sunny Isles Beach, and in 2018 there were 155 condos sold. YOY appreciation has increased since 2015 and 2020 will not change.

What are your projections for the value of properties and market conditions in Sunny Isles looking forward to 2020?

The average oceanfront luxury condo in 2019 sold for $406 per square feet, which is a decrease from 2018. This decrease in home prices is expected to continue, so THIS is the best time to buy in Sunny Isles.
With low mortgage rates and the availability of homes in Sunny Isles, people are taking advantage of the market.

Are there any hot condos or developments in Sunny Isles that have gone up or will be completed in 2020?

You will be pleased to know that developments are going up everywhere. The following luxury oceanfront projects in Sunny Isles Beach are the ones that are scheduled to be delivered in 2020.

• Residences by Armani/CASA - 18975 Collins Avenue
• Turnberry Ocean Club - 18501 Collins Avenue
• The Ritz Carlton Residences - 15701 Collins Avenue

As for 2021 delivery, one of the most spectacular and highly anticipated projects is The Estates at Acqualina. Acqualina Resort Community that includes Acqualina Resort & Spa, Mansions At Acqualina and soon to be completed The Estates at Acqualina has the largest oceanfront exposure in Sunny Isles Beach. New residents will enjoy superb finishes, exceptional amenities, and unparalleled service. The project sells fast. Contact for additional information.

Estates At Acqualina – 17885 Collins Avenue

Any new restaurants or shopping centers in Sunny Isles that have recently opened up that you recommend?

There’s always something new popping up in Sunny Isles. What we’re excited about is the plan for the Chabad Community Center, featuring a Chabad restaurant. Our favorite restaurants include:

● El Tropico Cuban Cuisine
● II Mulino New York - Miami
● Tino Restaurant and Bar
● Lentrecote
● Cut 38

For shopping, you can’t go wrong with:

● Aventura Mall
● Sawgrass Mills Mall
● The Village at Gulfstream Park
● Bal Harbour Shops
● Bayside Marketplace

What is your take on the current mortgage rates? Do you project these rates to go up or down in 2020 and why do you think this?

Everyone is nervous about a possible recession in 2020, but we’re not worried about it because the economy is too good right now and we don’t believe the Fed will ruin that for the U.S. Our prediction is that the low mortgage rates we’ve been enjoying the past few years will continue throughout 2020 and beyond. This will continue to motivate people to buy condos in the new developments along Sunny Isles Beach, which is also why there are so many of them going up right now.

Is there anything else you would like the Haute Audience to know in terms of Sunny Isles, as we head into 2020?

Sunny Isles is a beautiful, calm, and affluent place that attracts individuals who want the finer things in life without dealing with all of the busyness of South Florida. Getting in on a luxury condo now means beating out the crowds as more people find out about how nice Sunny Isles is to live. That’s why we’re expecting 2020 to be a busy year in luxury real estate.

With the Super Bowl coming to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida this February, countless tourists are planning to visit for the big event. Of course, if you’ve never been to Miami before, you may have a few questions that are standing in the way of the perfect trip. Here’s my advice to help you have the best Super Bowl weekend possible.

What part of the city do you recommend staying in?

There are a few places you can go that will put you as close to the action at Hard Rock Stadium as possible. If you decide to stay right by the stadium The Guitar Hotel at Seminole Hard Rock would be an excellent choice.

If you are looking for luxury accommodations closer to the beach, I definitely recommend venturing to Aventura, which will put you about 6 miles from the stadium at high-end JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa, or Sunny Isles Beach with a world-known Acqualina Resort & Spa, or The Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood Beach.

Do you have a favorite hotel?

There are so many great hotels in Miami that I couldn’t possibly recommend just one. Any of the places I just mentioned would be a good pick, just pay attention to how close your accommodations are to the stadium and any other amenities you may want to access.

Traffic will be the only real issue to consider, which is why anyone attending the Super Bowl will probably want to get as close as possible. From there, it’s really just a matter of deciding if you want something budget-friendly yet comfortable or something upper-scale, like a Diplomat Beach or Acqualina Resorts.

What are the restaurants that people must visit?

There are so many delicious restaurants in Miami, I have no trouble thinking up at least a dozen that I will recommend to everyone coming to South Florida for the Super Bowl. For starters, Abiaka is just 9 miles north of the stadium. It’s an expansive, 160-seat restaurant and it’s worth braving the crowd for the truly delicious food.

Others I would suggest trying include JWB Prime Steak and Seafood on the beach and Dune in Fort Lauderdale along with the Hollywood favorites of Le Tub and Monkitail.

Do you have a recommendation for where to shop while in town?

There are so many great places to shop in Miami that you really can’t go wrong! I would suggest starting with Aventura Mall and luxury shopping in Bal Harbour Shops. Dolphin Mall also has an incredible array of outlet stores, featuring more than 240 shops for all tastes and budgets.

Are there any museums visitors should see while they’re here?

Those looking for a culture enriched trip should definitely spend some time at Miami’s many museums and historical centers. There’s something for everyone, with the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) and the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science both consistently ranking at the top of everyone’s lists. Families should also check out the Miami Children’s Museum as it’s one of the largest in the nation.

One of the most desirable cities in all of Florida, Key Biscayne is a tropical island paradise with many unique traditions and establishments. If you’ve yet to experience the holidays in Key Biscayne, you’re in for a treat.

Thanksgiving marks the unofficial start to the holiday season full of food, shopping, and family bonding. It’s a wonderful time to reflect on your year and think about your many blessings. In Key Biscayne, one of those blessings is the incredible weather. Our Fall is a beautiful 70 degrees, which is still perfect for enjoying outdoor activities.

Thanksgiving Holiday Shopping In Key Biscayne

This cute urban community encourages residents to “buy local” from small island shops and merchants. The local favorite is the huge Georgia pecans sold by the Key Biscayne Women's Club for charity. You can find these at Towers Glamour Salon or from any club members directly. It’s a festive local holiday tradition.

Another great tradition is the Thanksgiving Seagrass Adventure at the Biscayne Nature Center. Getting an education on local sea life is all part of the fun of living on the island. In fact, a lot of the autumn holiday fun takes place outside due to our beautiful surroundings and great crisp fall weather.

Finally, the Ritz-Carlton of Key Biscayne, Miami has a huge event that is perfect for families. Not only is there a perfectly cooked Thanksgiving feast, but you can also enjoy music, activities for kids and lots of other fun holiday-themed surprises each year. It’s an event that can’t be missed and if you’re a resident who hasn’t tried it yet, don’t let this year’s pass you by.

As a real estate professional who strives for excellence in everything she does, Yuliya believes in providing the level of service she herself would expect to receive. Being a knowledgeable luxury real estate market expert has enabled her to build long-lasting relationships with a wide variety of local and international clients, skillfully addressing their unique needs and desires as she goes above and beyond to provide exceptional service at every stage of the listing, sale or purchase process. Yuliya Kachko Group is a valued part of the ONE Sotheby’s International Realty team, with over 20 years of experience in residential real estate sales in Miami and South Florida. Haute Residence caught up with Kachko to discuss Key Biscayne and what makes it the perfect place for families.

What makes Key Biscayne’s real estate so unique compared to the surrounding areas?

The lifestyle, beauty and tranquility of Key Biscayne have attracted affluent buyers from all over the country. This has led to the market to be particularly focused on luxury real estate, more so than the surrounding areas. While there is plenty of luxury real estate to be found in the surrounding neighborhoods, the quality of life which exists on Key Biscayne truly makes it unique. Many local residents prefer to keep the population density of the island low which has led to pressure on the village council to restrict higher density developments.

What do most of your buyers say is the reason they prefer living in Key Biscayne compared to other family areas like Coral Gables?

The community and family atmosphere of Key Biscayne is unmatched by other family areas just a few miles away. The allure of living on an island paradise attracts a demographic who embraces the community-centric spirit which exists on Key Biscayne. The island has a high quality of life and with the abundance of family-friendly activities and parklands means there is always something for the whole family to enjoy.

Are there various schools and family activities on Key Biscayne?

There are a variety of local private and public schools located within the village. Serving grades Kindergarten to grade 8 is the Key Biscayne K-8 center which is the only Miami-Dade County Public School District facility on the island. In addition to this, there are also several private schools. Family activities include trips to the beach, enjoying the various parks or recreational facilities or checking out the local attractions.

Do many parents with young kids live in Key Biscayne compared to other areas?

Parents with young children make up a sizable portion of the island’s residents. As identified by the 2017 American Community Survey, households with children make up approximately 60% of the households on the island with 1,731 households with children compared with 2,871 households without children. This is a significant difference when compared with Miami as a whole which has approximately 33.5% of households with children.

Any advice for parents who are skeptical about buying in Key Biscayne compared to other neighborhoods?

There is very little to be skeptical about when buying in Key Biscayne. The island boasts some of the lowest crime rates in the country and is an ideal location to raise a family. With downtown Miami just a short drive away, the island is a secluded slice of paradise that offers everything you could ever want to find in a global city. The parks at each end of the island give families an opportunity to explore the outdoors with the kids without straying too far from home.

For those looking to visit Key Biscayne, can you tell us where it is?

Key Biscayne is an idyllic island community located just 15 minutes south of Miami and is comprised of a total area of 1.4 square miles. Being so close to the downtown of one of American’s most cosmopolitan cities, it comes as a surprise to many visitors that Key Biscayne has a unique identity that draws in tourists and the locals who call the village their home. Visitors can reach Key Biscayne by traveling via the Rickenbacker Causeway which is located just south of downtown Miami.

How long have you lived in the area?

I have been a resident of Key Biscayne for over 10 years now. It is the true sense of community and the quality of life that has led me to call it home for all these years. With such a short commute to work and an abundance of amenities located on the island itself, you really get the best of both worlds. You don’t have to settle for remote island life away from modern convenience or get lost in the hectic city life, Key Biscayne is a world of its own.

What do most people come to Key Biscayne for?

There is a lot to see and do in Key Biscayne. Most people are allured by the lifestyle, weather, and beaches. There truly is something for everyone. Most people who arrive in Key Biscayne are seeking an escape from the city without sacrificing convenience. Key Biscayne is a warm and welcoming community. The village is perfect for families for many reasons such as being virtually crime-free, community-centric and with lots of parks and attractions.

Do you have any favorite restaurants or activities?

If you are just looking for a relaxing weekend getaway, be sure to check out Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park. Located at the southern tip of Key Biscayne, you can experience stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean from the top of the 200-year-old Cape Florida Lighthouse. If you are seeking something livelier, there are several eateries and nightlife spots along Crandon Boulevard. Seafood is one of the more popular choices for both locals and tourists with Rusty Pelican and El Gran Inka being my favorites.

Why do you think people prefer to visit Key Biscayne beaches compared to other surrounding beaches?

Every beach has a unique character that makes it special. The visitors who like to check out the beaches of Miami Beach are looking to be in the heart of the action. They love the vibrant culture that brings in millions of tourists each year. Key Biscayne, on the other hand, offers something much rarer. The peace and tranquility which surrounds the beaches of Key Biscayne are seldom found so close to an international tourist city. This is what makes Key Biscayne so distinctive. The clean and well-maintained surroundings make it much more inviting for families and those who want to enjoy life at a slower pace.

Haute Residence caught up with Kachko to discuss Key Biscayne and what makes its real estate so special

When did Key Biscayne start becoming a popular place for people to decide to live?

Key Biscayne has a long, rich history dating back to the 1500s. Operating as a tropical plantation island over the next few centuries, development didn’t truly start until the Rickenbacker Causeway was opened on the island in 1947. This paved the way for residential development on a large scale as new homes and amenities brought many residents to the island. In recent years, the popularity of the island has soared as new hotels, condos and shopping centers have been constructed, redefining the island’s character.

What is it about Key Biscayne that drives luxury buyers there compared to other surrounding areas?

While luxury real estate can be found in many neighborhoods of Miami, Key Biscayne remains unique due to its bucolic lifestyle. Many business leaders, wealthy expats, professionals, and retirees embrace the strong community values and down to earth island life. The advantage Key Biscayne has over other areas is its proximity to the city while still maintaining a sleepy village vibe.

Why do you think developers love building on Key Biscayne? Do they have more land and space options?

There are vast opportunities available on Key Biscayne for developers. Residential land values are high and in demand. Waterfront land is prioritized for developers to build luxury real estate. Condos and high-density development can be restrictive which creates an artificially low supply for this kind of real estate while still being highly sought after.

What predictions do you have for the Key Biscayne real estate market for 2020?

It looks like we will be entering a softer market in 2020. Over the course of 2019, values have steadily declined throughout Key Biscayne. There are a few reasons for this. The first is that the luxury real estate market is often subject to longer days on market and in times when owners are motivated to sell, higher discounts on the sale price.

Concerns of flooding and rising sea levels have led to owners putting their homes on the market with buyers seeing the trend and taking advantage of the softer market. I predict that 2020 will be the ideal year for buyers to enter the market as price declines reach their trough and begin to rebound as we enter the next decade. This is a rare opportunity with Key Biscayne being a sellers’ market for much of its history.

What advice do you have for someone looking to buy on Key Biscayne?

If you are looking to purchase a home, waterfront properties are where the opportunities are. Waterfront real estate will always be more highly sought after than that further inland. With the panic over flooding and rising sea levels, many owners who have held onto their waterfront properties for decades are preparing to sell at hefty discounts.

Other opportunities can be found in the condo market. With condo development being restricted across the island, the condos that do exist seldom change hands. These properties can be highly lucrative investment opportunities or an extremely rare chance to take up residence in one of Key Biscayne's most desirable luxury condos.

15901 Collins Ave #1904, Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160

As a real estate professional who strives for excellence in everything she does, Yuliya believes in providing the level of service she herself would expect to receive. Being a knowledgeable luxury real estate market expert has enabled her to build long-lasting relationships with a wide variety of local and international clients, skillfully addressing their unique needs and desires as she goes above and beyond to provide exceptional service at every stage of the listing, sale or purchase process. Yuliya Kachko Group is a valued part of the ONE Sotheby’s International Realty team, with over 20 years of experience in residential real estate sales in Miami and South Florida. Haute Residence caught up with Kachko to discuss what she loves about her market, Key Biscayne and what makes it so unique:

What do you love most about Key Biscayne this time of year?

During the summer months, Key Biscayne and Miami as a whole experience a tourism glut. With the hot, humid weather driving both tourists and locals north for the warmer months, the city experiences a slower sales season than previous months.

This is largely due to the fact that in the winter months, the city comes alive as both international and domestic visitors converge to enjoy the South Florida lifestyle. What is there to live about the market this time of year? It is the best time to buy.

With so many people taking in the sights of the city, there is a lot more competition for real estate during the busier months. This leads to bidding wars and pushing values higher. Buying real estate during the Summer months often leads to a better deal and allows you to hold over that crucial growth period in the Winter months.

Do you see many people moving to Key Biscayne this time of year compared to other seasons?

While the Summer months are usually the quietest time of the year, there are ample opportunities to take advantage of. For investors looking to capitalize on the sellers’ market during the offseason, now is the perfect time to buy.

15901 Collins Ave #1904, Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160

Is there an area in Key Biscayne where buyers prefer to live? Why?

The island is just a short drive south of Miami Beach making it an easily accessible neighborhood tucked away from the beating heart of the city. For many residents, a view of the ocean is essential and since there are many condos and waterfront properties located along Harbor Drive, this is often one of the most sought-after areas.

What makes Key Biscayne unique compared to other surrounding cities?

Key Biscayne is a unique market as it is smaller in comparison to surrounding cities. Being one of the wealthier, more luxurious neighborhoods of Miami, the city is an ideal market for real estate investors the surrounding land is in limited supply. A large portion of the homes located in Key Biscayne are waterfront mansions making it one of the most desirable residences in Miami.

The island offers unique features targeting the main demographic of wealthy families and investors such as golf courses, national parks, great beaches and some of the best public schools in the USA. Combine the ample amenities with the high-end social scene and you have an idyllic slice of paradise.

Any tips on how people can better design their outdoor spaces for entertaining guests in the summer?

In the summertime, entertaining guests is all about providing comfort and relaxation. Not only does this mean beating the heat, but guests should also feel at home so that they will stay longer and truly enjoy their experience.

This can be achieved with a few simple additions to your outdoor space to provide maximum comfort. Consider more comfortable seating as well as some protection from the elements whether that be an overhead awning or some umbrellas placed around the seating areas.

How did you get started in Real Estate?

I have always been interested in business and entrepreneurship. After graduation with my MBA from FIU, I founded a marketing company with two partners. One of my business partners was a long time real estate investor. He has introduced me to the real estate investing world. I have attended multiple local and national real estate investing seminars, learned from the market leaders and fall in love with the luxury real estate. Miami is happened to be an ideal place to sell luxury homes. I have joined the best real estate team Sotheby's International Realty and fully emerged into real estate business. I love what I do, enjoy working with the best team and helping my clients to achieve their real estate goals.

What sets you apart from the competition?

Strong Marketing skills, ability to listen to my clients' needs, provide true numbers and in-depth analysis of current market conditions whether clients are looking to sell or buy their property. I am very transparent and honest.  And fully dedicated to my business and people I am working with. The goal is to achieve a Win-Win situation for all parties involved in a deal. 

What advice would you give someone looking to get started in Real Estate?

Learn daily, be very consistent and persistent, know your market, be an expert in a few selected areas, but knowledgeable in the real estate market as a whole. Join one of the leading real estate team in your city and learn only from the best. 

Do you have a special listing or property currently on the market that you absolutely adore? 

I have a stunning listing in the new development at the private island Prive. It's a very unique location in the heart of Aventura Williams Island that offers breathtaking views, luxury service and amenities along with a very exclusive and private lifestyle. This beautiful brand new private residence offers magnificent unobstructed direct Intracoastal, Ocean and City Views, spacious layout with over 2,700 SF of interiors, expansive terrace with summer kitchen, high end finishes throughout.
