Broward Real Estate Market Report- October 2009 (10/1/09 - 10/31/09)

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:37:51 -0600

Wondering what's selling in Broward? How many Homes Sold in Broward in October? How many homes sold in Ft. Lauderdale and other Broward cities? Looking for a monthly Broward Real Estate Market Report?

When considering buying or selling a Home, it is important that you're familiar with REAL data/facts about homes sold (NOT rumors about how many homes are selling, which homes sold, and what they're selling for). When you're ready to place an Offer to purchase a home, this data also assists you with placing an Offer that's based in reality, an Offer that's more likely to be accepted.

Single Family Home Sales

During the month of October, 2009, there were 1,259 Single Family Homes SOLD in Broward County (they were sold at final sales prices between $6,500 and $5,000,000) through Brokers and these sales comprise the vast majority of total sales. Of the 1,259 Single Family Homes SOLD in Broward County in October, 2009 (The "Sold" prices below mean the final sale price, NOT the listing price at the time of the sale):

299 were sold for $100,000 or less
334 were sold between $100,000 - $200,000
320 were sold between $200,000 - $300,000
149 were sold between $300,000 - $400,000
67 were sold between $400,000 - $500,000
21 were sold between $500,000 - $600,000
16 were sold between $600,000 - $700,000
12 were sold between $700,000 - $800,000
11 were sold between $800,000 - $900,000
30 were sold at $900,000 and higher

After gathering this data, I looked at it very closely to find details that will help to explain the data in further detail.

Of the 1,259 Single Family Homes sold, 232 were listed as Short Sales and 417 were listed as Bank Owned properties, so distress sales were almost 50% of the total sales.

In the $100,000 and less category of Sales, 211 of the Homes were Bank owned Foreclosures. 224 of the 299 total sales were indicated to have been purchased as Cash purchases. Of 299 Homes purchased for $100,000 or less, only 75 of the purchases were financed!!! Reasons for this include the following:

A large number of Investors in the market are purchasing Homes in this price range
Many Homes in this price range are in need of significant repair and/or updates so are not of interest to Buyers who are interested in immediately occupying the Home as their primary Residence
Many Homes in this price range are smaller than desired by non-Investor Buyers and/or not located in areas that are desireable to non-Investor Buyers
Because of necessary repairs and/or missing Appliances that are often an issue with these Homes, many of these Homes will not qualify for Financing, particularly not FHA Financing
Banks that are selling properties prefer Cash Buyers and, very often, when presented a strong Cash Offer, they will accept it instead of an Offer from a Buyer who requires Financing

What this means is that the $100,000 and less market for Single Family Homes is, in most cases, not a good fit for those who are seeking Homes in this price range as their primary residence, who are usually interested in financing their purchases. Such Buyers are simply unable to compete with Investors in the current market and are left to continue Renting or to compromise and attempt to find a Condo or Townhouse that might be appropriate.

The largest number of sales occurred in the $300,000 and under price range, so the $300,000 and under price range is VERY competitive. Homes in this price range are selling EXTREMELY quickly and Buyers searching for Homes in this price range often find that the availability of Homes that meet their search criteria is very limited.

Homes in the upper price range still aren't selling as quickly and Buyers are still finding that there are challenges with obtaining Financing for Jumbo Loans (Loans over the amount of $417,000 are known as Jumbo Loans). A significant number of Buyers in the upper price range are Cash Buyers. Of 54 Single Family Homes that were purchased for $700,000 and above during the month of October, 24 of those were purchased by Cash Buyers.

Condo, Townhouse, Villa, and Co-op Sales

During the month of October, 2009, there were 1,393 Condos, Townhouses, Villas and Co-ops SOLD in Broward County with final purchase prices between $12,000 - $2,700,000 as follows:

828 were sold under $100,000
375 were sold between $100,000 and $200,000
90 were sold between $200,000 and $300,000
32 were sold between $300,000 and $400,000
27 were sold between $400,000 and $500,000
44 were sold at $500,000 and above

NOTE: My monthly Reports present information related to active, sold, and pending listings of Single Family Homes, Condos, Co-ops, Villas, and Townhouses sold through Brokers ONLY, however, these sales and listings are in no way inclusive of the ENTIRE Real Estate Market as there are Commercial Properties and Businesses that are sold, as well as Vacant Lots and Land, Docks, and multi-family dwellings (such as Duplexes, Triplexes, Fourplexes, and Apartment buildings).

Additionally, there are Developer-owned Properties (Condos, Single Family Homes, Townhouses, etc.) that are sold to Buyers directly from the Developer, many of which are not listed for sale through the MLS (non-MLS listed property sales data is available by searching local Tax Records).

Villas by the Sea Oceanfront Condo in Lauderdale by the Sea

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 14:36:11 -0600

Villas by the Sea Residences Sales and Construction Update
November, 2009

Construction of the first Oceanfront Building (4444 El Mar Drive) is now complete! This is Villas by the Sea first DIRECT OCEANFRONT Building ON THE SAND and it contains 21 Residences on the top 3 Floors of a 4-story building. Property Tax Records indicate that Closings started on August 28, 2009 and 14 Units have been purchased with purchase prices of $869,900 - $1,275,000. The most recent purchase recorded was October 20, 2009. Since 14 units have been purchased, only 7 remain with purchases that haven't been completed.

As discussed in my post in March of 2009, Construction of the first building located across from the Ocean (4445 El Mar Drive) at Villas by Sea is also complete and Closings started in October of 2008. To date (November 18, 2009), Broward County Property Tax Records indicate that Buyers have purchased 31 of the 45 Units in 4445 El Mar Drive, so the Building is almost sold out. The purchase prices of the 31 Units were $469,000 - $1,295,800. The 2009 Sales in the Building range in price from $469,000 - $1,050,000. This Building is also a 4-Story Building with Units located on the top 3 Floors. Although it isn't a direct Oceanfront Building, several corner Units on upper Floors offer beautiful Ocean views.

Additional Units are currently under Contract for purchase and successful closings will be recorded in Tax Records.

Several people have asked me why Villas by the Sea prices haven't been slashed. My response was that a deep discount in prices at Villas by the Sea isn't necessary for 3 reasons:

List prices at Villas by the Sea were already discounted slightly and reflect current market values, not values of several years ago.
Their reasonable prices are driving sales in the current market, so there isn't a problem of an excessive number of vacant units that need to be sold.
Villas by the Sea is a unique product and has no competition in the current market so far as the availability of similar new product in Lauderdale by the Sea, Ft. Lauderdale, or Pompano Beach, so they're not in the position of having to compete with high inventory of similar new housing nearby.

As Buyers in the current market, the immediate assumption that all prices need to be deeply discounted beyond their current list prices is very often not the correct assessment. While it is true that there are properties that are priced incorrectly for the current market, there are many others, such as Villas by the Sea, that are already correctly priced for the current market.

The most unique feature of Villas by the Sea is that the Residences offer low-rise living instead of high-rise. It's well-positioned because the Buildings are direct Oceanfront or directly across from the Ocean, within walking distance of Shops and Restaurants, and very close to Ft. Lauderdale as well.

Click to view additional details about Villas by the Sea Condo and contact me if you would like additional information about buying, selling, or leasing in Villas by the Sea.

Villas by the Sea could be a perfect fit if you're searching for Lauderdale by the Sea Oceanfront Condos or nearby Waterfront Condos in Ft. Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Deerfield Beach, or Hillsboro Beach.

Their purchase prices were $360,000 - $900,000 and 22 of the 28 units purchased were purchased for $500,000 and above. Additional Units are currently under Contract for purchase and successful closings will be recorded in Broward County Tax Records.

A number of the Units have undergone price reductions and are currently available in a price range of $500,000 - $1.5 Million.

Las Olas Homes and Las Olas Isles Homes

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 00:03:14 -0500

Las Olas Isles Homes are very popular because of a number of factors, including their close proximity to the Intracoastal, Beach and Atlantic Ocean, deep and Wide Canals without Fixed Bridges, and convenient access to shopping, Nightlife, Restaurants, and more. Homes in the Las Olas Isles area are located on Ocean Access Canals, the Intracoastal, and the New River. Additionally, many Homes in the Las Olas Isles area are perfect for Mega Yacht Dockage.

In addition to Waterfront Homes located on the Las Olas Isles, other Homes in the Las Olas area are also of interest to those interested in the Las Olas area. Other Neighborhoods in the Las Olas area include Colee Hammock, Sunrise Key, and Victoria Park.

Homes in the Las Olas Isles area are available from an average starting price of $900,000 and the highest is currently listed for $13,900,000. Homes in the Las Olas area (but outside of Las Isles) are available from an average starting price of $500,000.

Now, I already mentioned List prices and I'm frequently asked if Homes are actually being purchased and what their purchase prices are (yes, I know that many are skeptical and suspect that us Real Estate Agents and others are just providing positive "spin"). Well, there's no spin here. Facts are facts and market information that I provide about Homes sold can be easily verified by searching property sales on the Broward County Property Appraiser's website.

To date in 2009, the records of property sales through Brokers indicate that 27 Las Olas Isles Homes have been purchased and their purchase price range was $600,000 - $5,937,500. Of the Homes purchased, the average purchase price was $1.7 Million. Click here to view their pictures and details.

If you're new to the Waterfront market or unfamiliar with the local market or the current market, it's important to first become educated about the facts of the market and Neighborhood features. With Waterfront Ocean access Homes, it's VERY important to understand that Land value is a significant part of the price, so in Communities like Las Olas Isles, $1,000,000 (or very close to it) is the entry level of the Community. Typically, the lowest priced Homes are purchased for prices that are very close to land value ALONE and such Homes are often purchased as "Tear Downs" by Buyers who plan to demolish the existing structure and build a new Home.

They are located in the Fort Lauderdale Waterfront Communities of The Landings, Harborage, Sunrise Intracoastal, Sea Island, Rio Vista Isles, Coral Ridge, Lauderdale Beach, Las Olas Isles, Laguna Isle, Isla Bahia, Harbour Heights, Gould Island, Coral Ridge Galt, Coral Ridge Country Club, Coral Isles, Bermuda-Riviera, Beach Way Heights, and Bay Colony.

Per the MLS, 11 Intracoastal Homes in Ft. Lauderdale have sold, to date in 2009, with a purchase price range of $885,000 - $7,000,000. Click here to view them.

If you're interested in Ft. Lauderdale Intracoastal Homes, you might also be interested in Intracoastal Homes located in Broward County Cities that are close to Ft. Lauderdale. Nearby Cities in Broward County that offer Intracoastal Homes for Sale include Pompano Beach, Lighthouse Point, Deerfield Beach, Hallandale, Hollywood, and Lauderdale by the Sea.

Current offerings of Intracoastal Homes in these Cities (67 listings) range in price from $660,000 - $11,750,000. View them here.

They are located in the Communities of Venetian Isles, The Cove, Terra Mar Island Estates, Silver Shores, Santamaria Harbor, Santa Barbara Shores, Pompano Shores, Pompano Isles, Poinsettia Gardens, Lighthouse Point, Lake Placid, Hollywood Lakes, Hillsboro Shores, Harbor Islands, Harbor Village, Golden Isles, Cypress Point, Coral Key Villas, Cap's Island, and Bel-Air Isle.

In 2009, Intracoastal Homes sold in these Cities ranged in purchase price from $500,000 - $2,900,000. Click here to view the Homes sold.

If you currently have a Vessel to Dock or if you're planning to purchase one in the future, a very important consideration with Intracoastal Front Homes is to determine if they are located in a Wake Zone or not. If you own a small Boat or other watercraft, Dockage with a Lift could be possible in an Intracoastal Wake Zone. If the Home is located in a Wake Zone that's not suitable for docking a larger Vessel, Dockage could be possible if the Home is located on a Point Lot that includes a protected side Canal. Of course, some Intracoastal Homes are located such that Dockage is not possible at all, in which cases, the only remaining choices for Vessel Owners are Dockage in a Marina (many of which are available locally) or Dockage at another Single Family Home where the Owners permit Dockage to be Leased.

Las Olas Waterfront Homes for Sale

Thu, 14 May 2009 00:47:19 -0500

Homes located in the Las Olas area are of interest to many not only because of the opportunities for fabulous Waterfront views, wide, deep Canals, and large Vessel Dockage (including Mega Yachts), but also because of their proximity to downtown Ft. Lauderdale, the Shops and Restaurants of Las Olas, the Atlantic Ocean, and Ft. Lauderdale Beach.

The majority of Homes in the East area of Las Olas Blvd. are Single Family Homes, but there are also several Townhouses and Condo Communities.

Currently, there are 116 active listings of Single Family Las Olas Waterfront Homes for Sale. Their price range is $685,000 - $15,900,000. Click to view the currently available Las Olas Waterfront Homes.

First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit

Wed, 13 May 2009 17:13:23 -0500

Are you a First Time Home Buyer interested in information about the $8,000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit? Please read below for details about how it works and how this Tax Credit can possibly benefit you. A highlight from the details below is that you must purchase a Home by December 1, 2009.

In our current market, there are many Homes for Sale in Ft. Lauderdale and other nearby Cities in a wide price range. Single Family Homes in Broward County are currently priced from $18,000 - $42,000,000. During the month of March, 2009, 963 Single Family Homes were sold in Broward County. Of the 963 Single Family Homes sold, the average purchase price was $280,312. Click to read the full Broward Real Estate Market Report for the month of March, 2009.

According to Census Statistics, the Median Household Income in Broward County is $52,670. With reduced prices in most segments of the Market, there are many Homes available that are within a price range that works well for those with average Incomes.

If you're a Ft. Lauderdale First Time Home Buyer or buying elsewhere, the First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit is something you definitely don't want to miss out on if you qualify.

--------------------------------

As part of its plan to stimulate the U.S. housing market and address the economic challenges facing our nation, Congress has passed legislation that grants a tax credit of up to $8,000 to first-time home buyers.

Who Qualifies?
First-time home buyers who purchase homes between January 1, 2009 and December 1, 2009.
To qualify as a "first-time home buyer" the purchaser or his/her spouse may not have owned a residence during the three years prior to the purchase.

Which Properties Are Eligible?
The 2009 First-Time Home Buyer Tax Credit may be applied to primary residences, including: single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and co-ops.

How Much Will the Credit Be?
The maximum allowable credit for home buyers is $8,000. Each home buyer's tax credit is determined by two factors:

The price of the home-the credit is equal to 10% of the purchase price of the home, up to $8,000.

The buyer's income-single buyers with incomes up to $75,000 and married couples with incomes up to $150,000-may receive the maximum tax credit.

If the Buyer(s)' Income Exceeds These Limits, Can He/She Still Get a Credit?
Yes, some buyers may still be eligible for the credit.

The credit decreases for buyers who earn between $75,000 and $95,000 for single buyers and between $150,000 and $170,000 for home buyers filing jointly. The amount of the tax credit decreases as his/her income approaches the maximum limit. Home buyers earning more than the maximum qualifying income-over $95,000 for singles and over $170,000 for couples are not eligible for the credit.

Will the Tax Credit Need to Be Repaid?
No. The buyer does not need to repay the tax credit, if he/she occupies the home for three years or more. However, if the property is sold during the three-year period, the credit will be recouped upon sale of the property.
