Top 5 Distressed Condo Sales Closed in July 2009

Below, you will find what I believe to be the five best condo deals of the 43 distressed sales that closed in the month of July in the MLS located in Brickell, Brickell Key, Downtown Miami and the Arts District.  I wasn’t very impressed with the deals that closed in July, however, when compared to those we’ve seen in previous months.  Coincidentally, all five condos are located in Brickell this month.
