Attorney Anthony Lopez and his fiancé Dr. Nicole Martin, of “The Real Housewives of Miami” fame, sold their waterfront Coral Gables estate for $40 million, topping luxury residential sales activity last week across Miami-Dade County.
Buyers signed 17 contracts between July 21 and July 27, according to the latest Eklund-Gomes report, which tracks listings of homes and condos asking $4 million and up in Miami-Dade that are included in the Multiple Listing Service. The properties spent about 74 days on the market, on average.
Twenty-nine luxury listings were added to the market, for a total of 1,181 listings.
The previous week, buyers signed contracts for four properties in Miami-Dade, asking a combined $23.7 million. It marked the slowest week of the year.
The asking dollar volume for the 12 single-family homes and five condos under contract last week totals $212.6 million, according to the report, which is authored by the Douglas Elliman team led by Fredrik Eklund and John Gomes.
The single-family homes that entered into contract last week had an average asking price of $15.6 million and spent an average of 84 days on the market. They totaled $187.1 million in asking dollar volume.
Lopez and Martin’s sold their 19,400-square-foot, seven-bedroom home at 555 Reinante Avenue to English singer-songwriter Robbie Williams. Dennis Carvajal of One Sotheby’s International Realty represented the sellers, and Chad Carroll of the Chad Carroll Group at Compass represented the buyer. The property includes seven bathrooms, two half-bathrooms, a resort-style pool, firepit, outdoor kitchen, 18-car garage and a wine cellar.
The power Miami couple paid $21.5 million for the 1-acre, peninsula-shaped lot in Old Cutler Bay in 2022 and had the property gut-renovated.
The second most-expensive home to sell is French commercial real estate investor Nicolas Chambon’s waterfront Miami Beach home at 220 West Dilido Drive. Chambon had signed a contract to sell the 6,084-square-foot, five-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bathroom house on the Venetian Islands last year, but that deal appears to have fallen through. It’s listed with Mariana Niro of Serhant.
The condos that secured buyers last week had an average asking price of $5.1 million and spent three days on the market, on average. They totaled $25.5 million in asking dollar volume, or an average of $1,875 per square foot.
Unit 3703 at Five Park, David Martin and Russell Galbut’s Miami Beach condo tower, topped the condo component of the report. The 2,615-square-foot, two-bedroom and two-and-a-half-bathroom unit is asking $7.3 million. It also has a 1,000-square-foot wraparound terrace. Nelson Gonzalez of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty is the listing agent.
Last week in New York, buyers signed contracts for 25 homes, according to the latest Olshan report. Their combined asking price was $166.4 million, and the typical home spent 532 days on the market.
