Major League Baseball third baseman Yoán Moncada is about to score a home run with the sale of his Hialeah Gardens home, asking $5.5 million.
The pending sale of Moncada’s home was one of the 13 contracts marked in the Multiple Listing Service between Nov. 25 and Dec. 1, according to the Eklund-Gomes report, which tracks listings of properties asking $4 million and up in Miami-Dade.
The asking dollar volume for the nine single-family homes and four condos totals $104.3 million, according to the report, which is authored by the Douglas Elliman mega team led by Fredrik Eklund and John Gomes. Though dollar volume fell compared to the previous week, the number of homes and condos to find buyers rose last week, a time period that included the Thanksgiving holiday.
Moncada, a Cuban baseball player who previously played for the Boston Red Sox and Chicago White Sox, owns the seven-bedroom, six-bathroom house at 9928 Northwest 133rd Street, records show. The 7,442-square-foot house, built in 1998 on a non-waterfront 1.1-acre lot, is on the market with Annelys Zamora, a Keyes Company agent.
The renovated house includes a home theater, pool and spa, outdoor kitchen, gazebo and a basketball court. A company led by Moncada paid about $1.4 million for the property in 2020, according to records. The sale will likely set a record for Hialeah Gardens.
At the top of the signed contracts report is the waterfront home at 250 West San Marino Drive in Miami Beach. The half-acre Venetians Islands property is asking $17.9 million with Serhant agent Mariana Niro. Records show Colgate Darden owns the three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bathroom house. The 4,434-square-foot home was built in 1952 and expanded in 2014.
The second most expensive home to enter into contract last week is the waterfront assemblage at 932 and 940 88th Street in Surfside, asking $17.5 million with Mick Duchon and Eloy Carmenate of the Corcoran Group. Property records show Paul and Katelyn Warshaw own the two adjacent homes. Paul Warshaw is chief operating officer of Bottom Line Concepts, a North Miami Beach-based consulting firm. The 0.8-acre assemblage is marketed as a teardown and redevelopment opportunity.
The single-family homes that entered into contract last week had an average asking price of about $9.1 million and spent an average of 189 days on the market. They totaled $82.3 million in asking dollar volume.
The condos had a combined asking price of $22 million and spent an average of about 165 days on the market. They averaged about $2,000 per square foot.
The priciest condo to find a buyer last week was a unit at Oceana in Key Biscayne. BHHS EWM Realty’s Giulietta Ulloa is listing unit 1206N at 350 Ocean Drive for just over $6 million. The three-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom condo spans 2,257 square feet.
