You have been thinking about buying a Fort Lauderdale Home or Condominium for years, planning to purchase the perfect retirement spot, or vacation get away as you create a lifestyle that adds to it your own piece of paradise. img_0539_3264Over the last few years you have watched and prayed, lets be honest you have prayed prices would go lower and in your heart you just knew that you would feel the bottom of the real estate market. You knew because the media told you so that there were tons of foreclosed properties just waiting on the market for your arrival. They didn’t tell you where they were or what they were about or the most important piece of information; many of them are foreclosures because you and most other people simply do not want to live there for one…

Just Sold in Fort Lauderdale 

In many buildings in the Fort Lauderdale Real Estate market the South East Corner is often in the most desireable corner of the buidling and the most expensive. This rule however is not always true. In general higher floor units are more desireable but this rule as well is not always true as in some properties having a lower floor condominium can allow you to experience a water view as opposed to looking over the water view. The view from this unit at The Tides at Bridgeside Square was a total surprise to those who came to see it.

We all know that is extremely hard to compare one home to another and if it weren’t there really would be no need to appraisers. As the true job of an appraiser is to find comparable properties and through a series of adjustments make the comparatives look more like the property being appraised and come up with a value based of making the homes look the same. A very specific approach in a market where every property has a story, most often this story never effects the appraisal.

Fort Lauderdale Condominium buyers need to be aware that a Florida law referred to as “Homeowners 6” went into effect in 2009. In the Fort Lauderdale Condo market enforcement of the law has not been universal because of the tight economic times but we do expect to see it become more the standard. The law states that Ft Lauderdale Condominium owners are required to take out insurance that provides coverage to all contents within the condominium unit.  This policy will close the gap for Fort Lauderdale Condominium owners many of whom thought they were adequately covered by the buildings master policy.  Fort Lauderdale Condo buyers need to think of this as the “walls-in” policy and understand that their master policy only covered them to their unpainted…

Here we go again, a new real estate cycle visable on every corner that will lead us to the next cycle. Who said the next cycle of dropping real estate prices had to be rising real estate prices. All over Fort Lauderdale rental housing is being built, weve been down this road  before. When sales fall off, people start renting, rents go up, and builders build new rentals, when sales start to rise they convert them to condos and sell out, and we get to start all over. How long the cycle lasts is never perfectly clear unless you're watching the news, as they all seem to have the answer. But one fact is clear major real estate developers still believe in the Fort Lauderdale area, they are building rentals all over town, to service the people still moving here…

I'm sorry I haven't written in while, but contrary to what the media is saying, we are busy. Our business is ahead of last year and people are buying the bargains to be had in the Fort Lauderdale area. We are working harder than ever, and it is frustrating to see how a correction in the real estate market, has caused banks to stick their heads in the sand, run for cover, and ultimately create a run on real estate and their own banks. I am not smart enough to comment on if the bailout being discussed is the right thing to do, but I have enough common sense to know executives who failed to perform should be given a ticket to Florida instead of a paycheck. We have many bargains that I am sure they can afford. Sincerely I don't blame banks solely for this…
