African Dust Storms May Improve Florida's Weather



Plume of Saharan Dust
A Sun Sentinel article reports that African dust storms may be responsible for the lack of major hurricanes this season and could be a boon for Florida's weather in the coming years as well.

If you take into consideration the better weather and the increased number of new construction projects in Ft. Lauderdale and South Florida, now is the time to start thinking about that new property.  Whether you are looking for a second or vacation home, or an investment, there will be several projects to choose from.

Call me today at (954) 205-4137 o learn about the upcoming new construction.

Pardon Our Smoke...


Training Site

A Pardon Our Smoke sign on A1A greeted beach goers this past weekend - the 5th Annual Ft Lauderdale Fire Expo was in full swing featuring lectures and hands-on training at the site of the former Howard Johnsons Hotel.  Check out the website!

If you owned a unit at the Q Club Resort, you could have been a witness to this annual event.

Low Condo Inventory = Higher Prices


 
Have you tried to buy a condo lately? Inventory is low and units are being snapped up by buyers who understand that waiting is to purchase is no longer an option.  The days have passed when short sales and foreclosures were plentiful and prices were low.  Sellers who previously couldn't compete are now more in control of the process and are holding the line on prices.

Prices in August were up 37% over a year ago according to CondoVultures.com. 

Units at the Q Club Resort & Residences are also trending upward, however they are still reasonable.  So, if you are planning to purchase your next vacation property in Ft Lauderdale, a resort property such as the Q Club where management is provided on-site is an excellent choice.  Call me today at (954) 205-4137  to discuss your next vacation.
