Ft Lauderdale Condos – A Change for Fort Lauderdale Real Estate
Fort Lauderdale Real Estate News reports seem to ignore a simple fact about the Fort Lauderdale Condo market today. Construction plans have stopped and sales are growing. As Fort Lauderdale Realtors, we know that 2011 will be the last year to purchase a brand new condominium in the Ft Lauderdale Condo market for at least 4 to 5 years.
If you have been thinking for years about purchasing a New Condominium in the Ft. Lauderdale area, 2011 is the year as supply is twiddling of new Condos in Ft Lauderdale.
When Fort Lauderdale Real Estate prices collapsed there were only a few buildings under construction in the Fort Lauderdale Condo Market. Adding Pompano Beach, and Lauderdale-by-the-Sea to the inventory of the Fort Lauderdale Real Estate, only adds three additional new developments to the inventory of Fort Lauderdale Condos.
We currently estimate that in the Fort Lauderdale Real Estate market there may be less than 150 brand new Ft. Lauderdale Condos available for sale, and this number is shrinking rapidly. As developers dropped prices to sell units the market has responded accordingly.
Ready to see these condos, thinking about calling one of the last new Ft. Lauderdale Condos your own, call Eric Miller and Associates and schedule our new construction tour. We will set up the appointments and turn you into experts on the Fort Lauderdale Luxury Condo market in a few short hours. As F
t Lauderdale Real Estate experts we are excited about the great product available and the bargains that current buyers are getting, but simply it is not going to last. In real estate, if you can purchase a Ft. Lauderdale Condo brand new for less that it would cost to build, this is a bargain.
In the Fort Lauderdale Condo market there is remaining unsold inventory in the Sapphire, Fountains on Ocean Drive, and Coconut Grove. In Pompano we add the Sonata Beach, and the Oceanside, and in Lauderdale-by-Sea we add Villas of the Sea. At Eric Miller and Associates we are here to answer to your questions about any Ft. Lauderdale Real Estate.
Taxes in the Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Market
Taxes, Taxes and more Taxes – Whats the Real Truth?
Real Estate taxes in the Fort Lauderdale Real Estate market can be confusing to some buyers new to the Fort Lauderdale area. The basic concept that all Fort Lauderdale Real Estate buyers need to understand is that their property will be reaccessed with a sale, and taxes can go both up and down depending on the last accessment. As a rule of thumb estimating your annual real estate taxes at 2% of the purchase price will be a good estimate.
Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Trends
When it comes to the most basic number which effects the Fort Lauderdale Real estate market; in Fort Lauderdale the trend is very differant than the trend the media speaks about throughout the country. That number is simply the number of residential units available for sale, and in Fort Lauderdale Real Estate, that number is declining. In Ft. Lauderdale and in the entre Broward County area, Fort Lauderdale Realtors have been complaining that there is nothing to sell. It is not quite that dramatic. But the saleable inventory is actually even lower than this graph shows. If you remove from the inventory the Ft. Lauderdale over priced unmotivated seller, the Ft. Lauderdale Short Sales which certain banks have caused many buyers to stay away from, the numerous Ft. Laudedale Foreclosurers that banks have frozen simply by leaving them on the market but are not responding to offers, and the area short sales that are being left on the market in “active” status because of fear that the first buyer will back out by time the bank responds, the truely sellable inventory in the Fort Lauderale area is even lower than this graph indicates.
Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Trends
When it comes to Fort Lauderale Real Estate the graph indicates some very clear trends. Inventory in the last year has droppd 45%, sales have increased 20% and pending sales (possibly scewed because of the numer of short sales sitting in pending which will nevr happen) are up 82%. When it comes to Fort Lauderdale Real Estate, and especially Fort Lauderdale Condos and Fort Lauderdale Waterfront Homes the widely used statistic of “housing starts” becomes meaningless as we are basically out of land; out of land means out of housing starts.
In summation with inventories back at the level of pre-housing boom in the Fort Lauderdale Real Estate Market, its a great time to be a buyer in Fort Lauderdale, and the team at Eric Miller and Associates is here to help with all your needs in Fort Lauderdale Real Estate.

Selling a Condominium
Selling a Condo – It’s different than Selling a Single-Family Home
When you are thinking about selling a Ft Lauderdale condominium one of the first things to think about are some of the differences involved in selling a condominium compared to selling a single-family home. Many realtors will tell you “Sign calls” are a valuable source of finding buyers for a property. When it comes to most condominiums this valuable source of buyers disappears. So now it becomes even more important to listen to your Fort Lauderdale realtors marketing plan for your property and especially their plan for attracting buyers.
When selling a Ft Lauderdale Condo there are two things that are being sold. The buyer must be sold on the building or condominium association as well as the individual condominium. Make sure you and your realtor have all the association facts ready to go. A buyer who receives quick and accurate answers to all their questions is a buyer who feels secure about making a decision. An original brochure from the community can be very helpful, newsletters, and recent condominium announcements will also help a buyer feel secure.
Condominium association rules and regulations are an important part of the process. Bringing a buyer with pets to a community that has pet restrictions is not in anyone’s best interest. Knowing the rules and regulations and having them available for your realtor will help your realtor promote the condominium to buyers who want rules and regulations consistent with the property you are looking to sell. The more information you provide the easier it will be to make sure that the people viewing your home are the ‘ready, willing and able” buyers for your condominium unit.
