Market intelligence, neighborhood knowledge, and honest buyer guidance for Fort Lauderdale and Lighthouse Point — written from the dock, not the desk.
Ask any agent here and they will tell you condos suit the out-of-town buyer better than houses do. The public ownership records let me put an actual number on how true that is, and the gap is larger than I expected.
Two homes, same neighborhood, different building code eras. The public sales records show a real price gap between them, and hurricane season is exactly when that gap matters most to understand.
Everyone says list before season. The public sales records show something more specific: exactly which months the market moves fastest, and which months bring the buyers from out of state.
Everyone knows people are moving to South Florida. Fewer people know exactly where they are moving from, and the real map is more specific than the headlines suggest.
Above three million dollars, Fort Lauderdale behaves like a different city. What the top of the market did last year, from the count of eight-figure sales to what a foot of luxury waterfront now costs.
Two homes on the same street can differ by more than a million dollars, and almost always the difference is the water behind one of them. What that water commands, block by block.
It is the question nearly every buyer eventually asks me, and the honest answer depends far less on the market than on which specific advantage matters most to your life.
A waterfront home is priced on what you can see and lived on what you cannot. The due diligence most buyers skip, from bridge clearance to seawall to insurance.
Two of Fort Lauderdale's best waterfront neighborhoods, compared honestly. What deepwater access and no fixed bridges actually mean for the boat you own.
Prices are up nearly eighteen percent year over year, yet buyers are negotiating harder than in years. Why both are true, and what it means for your next move.
Florida's post-Surfside legislation split the condo market cleanly in two. How I read a building's reserves, inspection, and assessment history before my clients ever write an offer.
