We just listed this spacious home in Davie.  Professional photographs, a floor plan, and a 3D walk-through are AVAILABLE!   Check them out at

http://listing.accutour.com/bt/4785_SW_72nd_Ave.html

Just listed in Davie:   This is a single family home with an attached in-law apartment, 2-car garage and secluded pool.  Off Griffin Road on a dead-end cul-de-sac this home sits on 4/10ths of an acre, backing up to an unoccupied Palm-Tree Nursery.  The home features three bedrooms and two baths, PLUS a convertible 1-bedroom in-law apartment with another bath, separate kitchen, separate entrance and French Doors overlooking the pool.

Baths have been updated with new white vanities and blue granite counter-tops.  The kitchen follows the same theme along with stainless-steel appliances.  Washer/Dryer are in the mud-hall just off the kitchen, leading to an attached, two-car garage.  Impact windows have been installed at most openings.  Three openings have shutters (the in-law apartment.)

If you are coming from the west, follow Griffin Road to SW 72nd Avenue and turn right.   If coming from the east, you’ll have to make a U-Turn at SW 73rd – BE CAREFUL!   Turn right on SW 72nd Street and follow it all the way to the end.  4785 SW 72nd Avenue is the last house on the right.

Buyers are you worried when your pre-approval letter says you are approved for more?

Money Money MoneyA colleague recently asked if he should get a new approval letter for his buyer. The reason was that he was negotiating on a house, and was planning on offering less than the approval amount that the buyer could afford. I’ve also been in a situation where my buyer has cash in the bank for a cash purchase, and the bank balance is far more than the purchase price.

The question is:  Are you giving away too much information by letting it be known that you CAN spend more than you want? Perhaps, but I don’t think this is a significant objection to overcome.

Let’s say a buyer has a mortgage approval for $400,000. A house is listed for $375,000 but is only worth $360,000.   Will it make negotiations more difficult if a seller sees a letter that says the buyer can spend $400,000? Not if I’m good at what I do.

There is absolutely no justification for a negotiation to include a dialog of “but he has the money.” What in the world does that have to do with the price of Tea in China? Nothing.

This reminds me of sellers that “need to get” to a particular price in order to buy a new property. How is that my problem? It’s not. The house is worth what the house is worth. If it’s like all the other houses on the block, it’s probably worth close to the other houses. If it’s unique, it’s worth what a buyer is willing to pay. It’s certainly not worth what my bank balance says I have. That’s like my other favorite saying “How can I be overdrawn? I still have checks left!”

Next thing out of my mouth when someone says that to me is: prove it. Show me some justification for your price. I’ve proved my client can buy it. Now you prove your worth. If you can’t? We’ll be on our way.

Snowbird Condos in South Florida – Lauderdale Oaks in Lauderdale Lakes

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Previously we wrote about our favorite collection of condominiums that are favored by Snowbirds throughout South Florida and today we are adding Lauderdale Oaks in Lauderdale Lakes to the selection because so many of our clients have discovered the community.

Lauderdale Oaks is located along Oakland Park Boulevard in central Broward between I-95 and the Turnpike, and once you enter the community the tranquility will amaze you compared to the busy congestion that surrounds the community.  Don’t let it deter you, however, as the community is located conveniently close to I-95 for easy access to the airports, and the central location means residents have access to both the beach (3.5 miles east) or to attractions further west in Weston and Sunrise.  Golf, shopping, movies, dining, and entertainment are plentiful in any direction.

Inside Lauderdale Oaks the community features 716 condominiums in 19 buildings.  Being a 55+ community means the homes are very affordable which is a surprising change from incredibly expensive new construction nearby.  A large club house features an auditorium with seating for 300 and many activities all year long.  Three pools, shuffleboard, bocce ball, and plentiful walking trails create a tranquil oasis where it’s easy to relax.

Comfortable condo for an LGBT buyer in Fort Lauderdale, Wilton Manors or perhaps Miami?

A new client of mine wrote in today to ask…

“I’m looking  to consult with a local agent in fort Lauderdale area for a potential investment property or vacation home.  For us the most important search criteria is location.  I know years ago, Wilton Manors was a good area to invest and live in for the LGBT community, is this still the case?  Are there any other neighborhoods that we should be considering?

We are debating between investing in Miami or Fort Lauderdale.  What are your thoughts pros and cons for each market if you are familiar with both?

Here is our search criteria

  • 1-2 bedroom(s) condo
  • At least 1.5 bath
  • HOA fees less than $400/monthly depending on amenities could pay more
  • LGBT neighborhood preferred or central location in metro FLL or close to beach
  • Must include Parking and pool
  • Max price -$300k
So here’s the deal in South Florida.  This is going to hold especially true for southern Broward County and into Miami-Dade.

A tale of Two Markets

The single family home market is healthy and vibrant.   In fact, it’s overheated.   Prices are increasing.   Demand is strong.   Broward is an economic engine – not just a vacation destination – and demand for family homes in good school districts is strong.
The condo market is the opposite.  Several agents mentioned Dave Gervase.  Dave lives in Hollywood and serves greater Broward, but he is willing to work further south than I do.   From Hollywood, down into Hallandale, Sunny Isles and Miami, the condo market is struggling.   New development is over-built.  Developers are scrambling to convert properties already out-of-the-ground into apartments.   Seriously scary shit.
Me and the husband (Condo Guru Steve West) settled in Oakland Park (which may as well be Fort Lauderdale) on the north east side.  We are 8 minutes to Wilton Manors, too.   So I am biased.   I’ll push you towards Fort Lauderdale (including Wilton Manors and Oakland Park) because I think it’s the most gay-friendly, relaxed, amazing place to live.
However Fort Lauderdale is a “Tween.”    What I mean is that the only reason it exists is because it was a whistle stop on the way south to Miami from the Treasure Coast.   So your North Easterners with money will choose West Palm Beach and the Treasure Coast.
Folks who want an international destination with the feel of a big city will choose Miami.
The rest of us think that Fort Lauderdale is “Just Right.”    It’s a bit more quiet.   It’s not as homogeneous as West Palm Beach.    And after the heyday of Spring Break (which BTW is still going strong) gays and lesbians moved in and fixed the place up.
As far as what you can get?    I had a fellow agent from Michigan purchase a condo in Pompano Beach for under $100,000.   Pompano Beach is farther from Wilton Manors, of course.  But Michael and Karl got a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, only a mile to the beach off Atlantic Boulevard, in a community with a pool, near restaurants and bars.  The condo itself was gorgeous.   The community was on the more basic end of the scale.  They won’t lose money, however.  Ever.
NOTE:   You can NOT Air BNB in most condos.  You probably can use your condo as an annual rental.    Read this:https://sunshineguru.com/2017/05/18/can-i-use-my-condo-in-south-florida-as-a-short-term-rental-or-vacation-rental-by-owner/
$300,000 will almost get you a whole house.   Clients Ed and Jeff close on a house in Oakland Park next week for $330,000.   It’s a 2 bed, 2 bath, full 2 car garage, and a pool overlooking a canal.    $300,000 will comfortably get you a townhome, almost new townhome in Pompano.   A 1970’s or 1980’s townhome in Wilton Manors.   Easily a condo.   And if you’re near the gayborhood, you’re less susceptible to the vagaries of the market that are plaguing the beachfront in Miami-Dade.
NOTE:   You can easily use a townhome or a house as an Air BNB.   Heck, I have a pocket listing duplex that would allow you to keep one, and AIR BnB the other.   The various villages have inspection and registration requirements.   For example, a vacation rental needs a $500 inspection and registration in Fort Lauderdale.  On the other hand, Oakland Park is a free-for-all.   Similar for Wilton Manors.
Last but not least:   You should feel comfortable anyplace in Broward.  Just a matter of style of community depending on where you are.   You don’t have to be right inside Wilton Manors.   I have uber-business lesbians out in Coral Springs because that’s where the good schools are located.  There’s a young vibrant gay community in Boca Raton because of several universities.   Oakland Park seems to be “Where The Bears Are.”
