If heaven really was on earth, I’d make sure I buy the penthouse on the 20th floor before all hell breaks loose.

Just imagine sitting at the infinity-edged pool with cabanas watching life go by as you chill after a long day of work, sipping margaritas and lying in the sun.

Afterwards, maybe go for a stroll around the condominium’s private marina, or perhaps have dinner at a restaurant on the water edges of Biscayne Bay.

MiamiCondoLifestyle.com has pre-construction prices listed for the Oasis on the Bay Condos - Uptown Miami Bayfront Luxury Condos between $310,000 to $660,000.  It comes with all the eye candy and whip cream - a large health club and spa, 4,200 square foot restaurant on Biscayne Bay, clubhouse and marina with twenty boat slips, 24-hour concierge and valet, lushly landscaped pool and sun terrace, private theater room with stadium style seating and surround sound.

I’m really not kidding when I say that *wow* this property is cheap.  I didn’t know that the housing market in the United States has reached this all time low!

The place I recently purchased in the burbs costed me somewhere in between, and unless you consider the flooding that’s been going around here because of the heavy rain, this is no beachfront property.  Real estate has skyrocketed in Vancouver into something quite unbelievable.  Downtown condominiums as cramped as 500 square feet are selling for $400,000 and ones over 1000 square feet are close to a million dollars, if not more.  Even residents in the Lower Mainland that have cash to burn are not setting their sights on purchasing a house in their lifetime.
