Although Luxury Home sales here are not as strong as they were during the "boom years" (peak year was 2005), the fact that recent sales have remained stable is music to the ears of savvy Buyers who understand that South Florida Luxury Real Estate (particularly Waterfront) remains in demand and is a great Investment that has not been as severely impacted as some segments of the market.
Ft. Lauderdale is known as the "Venice of America" as well as the Mega Yacht Capital of North America. We are a City of islands held together by canals, rivers, bays and waterways hundreds of miles long. Many Fort Lauderdale residents and visitors enjoy boating in their speedboats, enjoying a fishing charter, or cruising the coastline by yacht.
A related tidbit: according to a 2007 report from the National Association of Realtors, Florida remains #1 in sales to International Buyers, accounting for 26% of all International home buyers.
Are you wondering how Inventory in the Luxury Home Market compares to the rest of the market?
In Broward County, there are currently 17,181 Single Family Homes listed for Sale in all price ranges. Of the 17,181 homes listed for sale, 1,452 of those homes are listed for sale at $1,000,000 and higher. Of the 1,452 homes for sale, 441 are located in Ft. Lauderdale, so Inventory in the Luxury market is SIGNIFICANTLY lower than the rest of the market. In viewing these stats, I think you can probably see how the issue of supply and demand in the Ft. Lauderdale Luxury Home market and the Broward Luxury Home market helps to maintain its' strength.
When you're considering buying or selling a home, it's necessary to "drill down" and correctly evaluate stats for your specific segment of the market. Though you often hear Media reports regarding the state of the current market, you need to be aware that Media often paints issues with a very broad brush. Real Estate is VERY local and conditions usually vary significantly throughout various Cities, Subdivisions, price ranges, home types, etc.
I will be preparing a separate report for Luxury Condos sold in Broward and will post it shortly.

A future Ft. Lauderdale Home Buyer contacted me in December of last year regarding his relocation plans and assistance with his home search. We are still communicating and he mentioned that he will be selling one or both of two Homes before relocating here.
I asked him for information about both Homes so that I could Blog about them in order to provide some additional exposure for them. He e-mailed pictures, which I added captions to and included below.
According to recent statistics from the National Association of Realtors and other sources, 85% of Buyers start their home search online. Internet marketing is one of the strongest tools that I use and I'm a strong believer in its' success as I've sold Homes because Buyers and Sellers found me online and I'm contacted daily by Buyers requesting assistance with their Home search.
In this post, I am highlighting one of the two properties mentioned above and will include the second home in a later post.

 San Juan del Sur info from the Homeowner:
"The local town of San Juan del Sur is a tranquil fishing village nestled at the head of a horseshoe-shaped bay on the Pacific coast of southern Nicaragua. The lovely bay is peppered with small, private yachts and commercial fishing boats. The inhabitants of San Juan del Sur make their living fishing, diving, and catering to the visitors drawn to the bay's beautiful white-sand beaches, smooth waters, and ecological richness. In and around San Juan, there's plenty to see and do. Numerous beaches await exploration, the scenery is superb, great surfing can be found nearby, and the sportfishing and sailing are world class. Or you might prefer to just sit back and relax in Nicaragua's most beautiful beach town."
I love learning about new places and I wanted to provide detailed information for the blog post, so I spent a couple of hours online reading about Nicaragua and researching additional information about San Juan del Sur and found the following:
- San Juan del Sur is one of Nicaragua's premier tourism destinations
- San Juan del Sur is located on the Southern coast of Nicaragua just North of Costa Rica (67 miles from Guanacaste, Costa Rica). I enjoyed a GREAT trip to Costa Rica (Quepos, Jaco, and Manuel Antonio) in October, 2005 and wondered about the proximity of San Juan del Sur from Costa Rica
- San Juan del Sur is located 152 miles from San Jose, Costa Rica
(I flew into San Jose for my Costa Rica trip)
- If you're planning to fly to San Juan del Sur, the closest Airport is Managua, which is Nicaragua's Capital. The Airport Code is "MGA"
- A Flight to Managua is ~6 hours from Ft. Lauderdale.
- San Juan del Sur is ~a 2-hr. drive South of the Managua Airport
- San Juan del Sur's Timezone is Universal, so they are 2 hours behind South Florida (Eastern Time)
- Click here for information about the Nicaragua Currency Exchange Rate. Their Currency is the Cordoba (NIO).
If you are located in the U.S., San Juan del Sur, or elsewhere and would like a San Juan del Sur Real Estate Agent to assist you, please let me know and I will refer you to a San Juan del Sur Real Estate Agent.
My most recent International Referral was a local Homeowner who is moving to the Dominican Republic and requested assistance with his home search there, so I referred him to an Agent there who is assisting him.
The Real Estate Company where I work, Esslinger, Wooten, Maxwell, Inc., opened in 1964, was purchased by Warren Buffet in 2003, and is part of a vast network of national and international affiliations with representation in each U.S. State and more than 40 Countries worldwide, so I am not limited by location when it comes to assisting you with buying or selling a Home.

Some of you who have read my Blog for a while know that I've been a Big Sister with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America since 1997 and that my local volunteer office is Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Broward. Just over 100 years old, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America is the oldest one-on-one mentoring organization.
Yesterday was BBBS Broward's 29th Annual Fishing Tournament, a Charity Event where local Fishing Captains volunteer their time and Boats for a 4-hr. event, taking Little Sisters and Little Brothers out with their Mentors (Big Sisters and Big Brothers) to Cruise or Fish.
I have been matched with my current Little Sister for 4 years and we've attended the event each of those 4 years since she was 8.
We weren't able to book one of the Fishing Boats today, so we cruised instead. Our Cruise included a tour of the New River and the Intracoastal, areas I've visited many times by Boat, which appear just as awe-inspiring each time I see them. Our Captain was Captain Mark, who took us out on his 43' Cruiser, the "Marlintini" and we departed from the Bahia Mar Marina.
The most interesting thing that happened is that I was told that Johnny Depp's Yacht, the Vajoloroja, was docked in the Bahia Mar Marina, so of course I took pictures of it. After hearing this tidbit, I did a bit of research and several media sources have reported that the Vajoliroja is indeed Johnny Depp's Yacht and was purchased in 2007. They've also reported that "Vajoliroja" is a combination of the first names of his family, "VAnessa, JOhnny, LIly-ROse and Jack". The Vajoliroja is a fabulous 156' Superyacht built in 2001, with exterior design by Taka Yachts and interior design by Redman Whiteley Dixon Ltd.
So, I wonder if Johnny Depp is in Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, or elsewhere in South Florida right now? I'm thinking probably so. A bit of further research reveals that Johnny Depp's birthday is next Monday, June 9th (happy 45th birthday!) and that he's currently shooting one of his upcoming Films, "Public Enemies" (scheduled for release in July of 2009). I wonder if they're shooting any scenes here.
 Scroll below for the pictures. You will notice blue Masking Tape and paper on the Vajoliroja in the pictures (there were warning signs on the Yacht instructing not to touch the Rails as Shellac is currently being applied). I think the Vajoliroja is certainly quite fitting for "Captain Jack Sparrow".

Ft. Lauderdale is known as the "Venice of America" as well as the Mega Yacht Capital of North America. We are a City of islands held together by canals, rivers, bays and waterways hundreds of miles long. Many Fort Lauderdale residents and visitors enjoy boating in their speedboats, enjoying a peaceful fishing charter, or cruising the coastline by yacht.
While out on the water, I noticed Pier 17 Marina and Yacht Club which is currently being built by BK Marine Construction and located on the South Fork of the New River. Demand in Ft. Lauderdale for covered Mega Yacht slips is huge, so Pier 17 Marina and Yacht Club's completion is highly anticipated.
Available Mega Yacht Slips will range in size from 80 feet to 155 feet, with 8 ft. to 10 ft. depths at Low Tide. A Rental Program for Slip Owners will be available and will be managed by Pier 17.
I took a few other pictures of homes and other sights while out today (see below). Ft. Lauderdale is home to many beautiful Waterfront Homes.
Beautiful, unique Gazebo at a Home located on Ponce De Leon St. in Rio Vista Isles (there's a gorgeous Infinity Pool as well, but I wasn't able to shoot a good picture of it).
Please contact me if you're interested in information about Ft. Lauderdale Waterfront Homes for Sale, Ft. Lauderdale Intracoastal Homes for Sale, Ft. Lauderdale Oceanfront Homes for Sale, Ft. Lauderdale Deepwater Homes for Sale, Ft. Lauderdale Yacht Dockage, or Ft. Lauderdale Docks for Sale.

In April of last year, I posted here on my Blog about my visit to Oceanside Pompano Beach Condos and posted pictures that I shot while there (I can't believe it's been more than a year already!). At the time, Oceanside Pompano Beach was still under construction.
Construction of Phase 1 (a 17-story luxury tower with 186 residences) is now complete.
Over 65% of the the 186 units were already under Contract before Construction was completed and closings started in April of this year( yes, there are Buyers who are still closing on their Contracts!)
Now that it's complete, I will be scheduling a tour of the completed building + units and will take more pictures. To the left is an Artist's Rendering of the building and below is a completed construction picture taken in March 2008 as posted on the Developer's Website.
The residences range in size from ~ 1,443 sq. ft. - ~ 3,614 sq. ft., including 2 Bedrooms - 3 Bedrooms and 2 Baths - 3.5 Baths. Their price range is $775,000 - $4,695,000.
Located at 1 N. Ocean Blvd. in Pompano Beach, Oceanside Pompano Beach is not a DIRECT Oceanfront building (not located on the sand), but it is within walking distance (just 1 street over) from the Beach, so many of the units include fabulous Ocean views or Intracoastal Waterway Views and some units include both views!
Offering a collection of Sky Homes®, Penthouse Estates and Loft Home residences, the first phase named The Plaza, is a 17-story luxury tower with a unique contemporary structure. The distinctive curved architecture is designed to capture both the sunrise and sunset of the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal, affording residents unparalleled panoramas and situated a short stroll away from the ocean.
Residents have exclusive access to an approximately 50,000 sq. ft. indoor and outdoor amenities level encompassing the entire fourth floor of the residential tower.
The Plaza will feature a vibrant landscape of sumptuous restaurants, chic boutiques, walking plazas, fountains and outdoor cafés (construction is complete, but the shops and Restaurants are not open yet as they have not yet been Leased). Building amenities include Concierge, Pool, Whirlpool Spa, Surround Sound Theater, Fitness Center, Sports Lounge, Club Room, News Café, 2 Hard-Surface Tennis Courts, Climate-controlled Wine Vault, Virtual Golf Simulator, Teen Lounge, Boutique Shops, Cigar Humidor, Massage Room, Juice Bar, and more!
Oceanside Pompano Beach is conveniently located close to many South Florida Sports, Music, Casinos, and other Entertainment Venues. The city of Pompano Beach offers fabulous Waterfront Homes and Condos and is bordered on the South by Ft. Lauderdale.
Click here to search Oceanside Pompano Beach Condos for Sale and contact me if you would like information about Oceanside Pompano Beach or other Pompano Beach Waterfront Condos. A number of Developer units are still available for sale as well as a few others.

April, 2008
So, you're planning to buy a Ft. Lauderdale Luxury Home, sell a Ft. Lauderdale Luxury Home, or you're just interested in checking out the Ft. Lauderdale Luxury Real Estate Market and Broward County Luxury Real Estate Market.
Well, here's a snapshot of Fort Lauderdale Luxury Real Estate. Of course, we know that price alone doesn't truly define "Luxury", but we'll take a look at the $1,000,000+ Broward County Luxury Real Estate Market.
During the month of April, in Broward County, 28 Single Family Homes sold at final sales prices of $1,000,000 and above. They sold at final sales prices (NOT LISTING PRICES) between $1,025,000 and $13,500,000.
I viewed the listing and sale history of the home sold for $13,500,000 (listed at $15,900,000). Before its purchase on 4/7/08, it was listed for sale on 2/18/08 and a Contract for sale was accepted on 2/22/08, so it was on the market for only 4 days!!! Even in a blazing hot market, high end luxury homes almost always take significantly longer to sell, so for this home to sell so quickly in our current market, which is not as hot as it once was so far as sales activity, is nothing short of AMAZING!!! According to Tax Records, the previous Owner purchased the Home for $2,181,000 in 1996 and first listed it for sale through a Broker in a previous listing which expired in 1999.
The $13,500,000 home is an Oceanfront Home located in Hillsboro Beach on Hillsboro Mile, which is next door to Pompano Beach. It features 175 of direct Oceanfront and the purchase included an Intracoastal front Dock across the street from the home. This Hillsboro Beach Oceanfront Home includes 7 Bedrooms, 7 Full Baths, 5 Half Baths, a Home Theatre, Tennis Court, 10-car Garage, Library, Billiards Room, Wine Room, Pool, Jacuzzi and more in nearly 20,000 total square feet.

Of the 28 homes sold, 21 are Homes with Ocean Access.
Click to view pictures of and details about the 28 Luxury Homes sold in Broward County.
These homes are located in Ft. Lauderdale, Davie, Coral Springs, Hillsboro Beach, Lauderdale by the Sea, Lighthouse Point, Parkland, and Weston.
The 28 homes sold are located in the subdivisions of Victoria Isle, Isle of Venice, The Almeda, Stonebrook Estates, Stilwell Isles, South Las Olas Isles, Seven Isles, Sea Island, Plantation Acres, Parkland Golf and Country Club, Lighthouse Point, Las Olas Isles, Hillsboro Beach, Lake Placid, Isla Bahia, Idlewyld, Harbor Heights, Eagle Trace, Coral Ridge Galt, Coral Ridge Country Club, Coral Key Villas, and Bel Air Isles.

The W Ft. Lauderdale Hotel-Condominium Residences is The W's first Florida property. My latest visit to their Welcome Center was earlier this year and when I spoke with one of their Representatives yesterday, I was told that completion is scheduled for the Fall of 2008 and that sales are nearing 90%.
A very motivated Seller contacted me in reference to marketing 3 units for Sale. They placed Deposits on 3 units, #1004, #1006, and #2104 and would like a simultaneous closing. These 3 units each have 2 bedrooms and 2 Baths in the Ocean Retreat Floorplan, offering a total of 1,283 square feet of living area, and a 212 square foot Terrace. Please contact me if you are interested in more information about these units.
W Ft. Lauderdale Residences includes 171 Condo-Hotel Residences and W Ft. Lauderdale Hotel includes 346 Hotel Rooms. The building Height is 23 Stories and 6 Floorplans are offered for the Residences. W Ft. Lauderdale Condos range in size from 804 - 1402 sq. ft. for 1 and 2-Bedrooms units and range in price from $975,000 - over $1.9 Million.
A significant benefit for Investors and 2nd Home Owners is that Condos can be placed into W Ft. Lauderdale's Rental Program.
The W Ft. Lauderdale Condotel is one of several Ft. Lauderdale Oceanfront Condos and is located at 435 N. Ft. Lauderdale Beach Blvd. also known as A1A. This Ft.

 One of The W Ft. Lauderdale's Amenities will be a Stephen Starr Gourmet Oceanfront Restaurant. I've never been to one and I can't wait to go when it opens! Stephen Starr's other Restaurants are located in New York City, Philadelphia, and Jersey City and this will be his first Florida Restaurant. Quoting from his website: "...Starr likens the experience of dining out to that of attending a theater production, where the players, props, backdrops, lighting and rapport are integral components of an overall dramatic effect. When this atmospheric drama is paired with edgy, delicious cuisine, dining out at an SRO restaurant becomes entertainment for all of the senses."
