MTV's Sam Logan buys Miami mansion, ramps up luxury activity

Reality star Sam Logan’s $22.1 million purchase of a waterfront home in Miami’s Belle Meade topped last week’s signed deals report.

The contract is the most expensive of the 21 contracts signed in Miami-Dade County between Nov. 17 and Nov. 23, according to the latest report from Eklund-Gomez. It tracks home and condo listings for $4 million and more in Miami-Dade that are included in the Multiple Listing Service. These properties spent, on average, 196 days on the market.

Fifty-five luxury listings were added to the market for a total of 1,294 listings.

Last week, buyers signed contracts for 15 properties in Miami-Dade, asking a combined $100.2 million.

The dollar volume under contract for a dozen single-family homes and nine condos totaled $179 million, according to a report published by the Douglas Elliman team led by Fredrik Eklund and John Gomes.

Single-family homes that went into contract last week had an average asking price of $8.7 million and spent an average of 114 days on the market. They total $4,104.5 million in asking dollar volume.

Property records show that spec developer Muhammad Hussain sold the more than 10,000-square-foot Belle Madman mansion to Logan, who was a cast member on MTV’s “Siesta Key,” a reality show that ran from 2017 to 2023. At the same time the process was recorded. The home has seven bedrooms, eight and a half bathrooms, an eight-car garage, gym and spa. It was completed this year.

Condos that secured buyers last week had an average asking price of $8.3 million and spent, on average, 304 days on the market. That totaled $74.4 million in asking dollar volume, or an average of $1,595 per square foot.

The top sale among nine pending condo sales is a signed contract for a 4,154-square-foot, four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom unit at Apogee in Miami Beach. Alan and Nancy Manocherian of the New York-based Manucherian family own Unit 1204 at 800 South Point Drive. The Menocharians are among the Persian families that rose to prominence in New York real estate during the 1970s. Julian Johnston of the Corcoran Group has the Apogee condo listed, which is on the market for $15 million.

Last week in New York, buyers signed contracts for 29 homes, according to Olson’s latest report. Their combined asking price is about $242.8 million, and the typical home spent 697 days on the market.
