The Short Answer A $5 million budget buys 4,378 square feet in Aventura and 2,353 square feet in Bal Harbour. That is the same money for 86% more space. Both numbers come from the same nine months of closed sales in the same county. The Aventura figure rests on five closings and the Bal Harbour […]
