A waterfront spec home in Surfside asking $15.5 million topped last week’s signed contracts report in Miami-Dade County. 

The 7,000-square-foot, six-bedroom, six-bathroom house at 919 92nd Street is on the market with Keller Williams Eagle Realty’s Andrei Karpov. Property records show Alexander Kamyshnikov and Irina Gorbunova own the 0.25-acre property. It hit the market for $16.3 million in March, and the price was reduced three times before it entered into contract. The couple paid $2.5 million for the lot in 2015 and the house was completed this year. Kamyshnikov is a technical consultant at Quantum-Systems, a German technology company. 

Buyers signed 12 contracts for residential properties priced at $4 million and up from June 17 to June 23, according to Eklund-Gomes’ luxe signed contracts report. The properties’ combined asking price is $85 million. Ten single-family homes and two condos went into contract. 

The priciest condo to secure a buyer last week is unit 402 at the under-construction Perigon development in Miami Beach. Mast Capital and Starwood Capital Group are developing the oceanfront building. The 3,350-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom unit is on the market for $8.3 million. Douglas Elliman’s Philip Freedman, the project’s sales director, is representing the developers.
