The Great Foreclosure Crisis has long since passed. Still, due to the dynamic nature of the South Florida real estate market we will continue to see a steady stream of foreclosures.

You'll find our "Hot Buttons" below to be an invaluable resource. These are the most recent Listings for Distressed Property (either REO or Shorts) to appear on the MLS.

Can you really make a net profit of $80,000 a year on a one time investment of $127,000? Well, add it up yourself. All the facts and figures are outlined below. There are some variables involved. We talk about them as well.
Many people are not familiar with the ins and outs of...
The Average Sales Price for a Single Family Home in Fort Lauderdale rose a staggering 36.2% in 2021. In addition, the Median discount from Listing Price was Zero, meaning the vast majority of homes either sold for full asking or more than the Listed Price.
These startling figures are according to the latest year-end statistics released by the Florida Association of Realtors. Though seemingly incredible on face value these are accurate numbers. Statistics released by the Florida Realtors are generated by compiling sales reported through the MLS of local realtor associations across the state.
In 2020 the Average Sales Price for a Single Family Home in the city of Fort Lauderdale was $893,479; in 2021 it was $1,216,958.
The Median Sales Price, a more traditional indication of actual appreciation, for a Single Family Home in Fort Lauderdale increased 20%, from $500,000 in 2020 to $600,000 in 2021.
These figures are driven by the high demand for luxury waterfront properties from upscale buyers coming in from the Northeast and California.
Negotiation Is Futile
Stats regarding the discount from Listing to Sale Price are perhaps even more amazing. The "Median Percent of Original List Price Received" tracks the spread between asking and closing prices. With such an active Real Estate Market South Florida, and Fort Lauderdale in particular, are already known for being a tough place to negotiate. Historically, this Median Percent of Original List Price Received in Single Family Homes is around 95-96% of their asking, with Condominium and Townhome properties around 94-95%. In 2020, in Broward County, this number was...

When considering the history of Fort Lauderdale and the state of Florida, two interesting facts pop out:
First, the entire state itself was essentially a foreclosure. Florida was ceded to the United States by Spain in 1819 in exchange for the forgiveness of a $5 million debt.
Secondly, Major William Lauderdale, after whom Fort Lauderdale was named, only spent about a month in the neighborhood.
People in Florida see things differently. Surprised this guy doesn't have a fishing pole, trolling.
Once the Earth cooled and the dinosaurs died after that asteroid impact, the crater of which is now called the Gulf of Mexico, the southeastern region of the Floridian peninsula was originally inhabited by the Tequesta tribe of Native Americans, according to archaeological evidence dating back some 4,000 years.
A socio-politically complex society whose main village was located at the mouth of the Miami River along the shores of Biscayne Bay, Tequesta culture centered around dugout canoes, carved by honored craftsmen with crude tools fashioned from sea shells. Picking through ancient trash heaps archeologists found bones from a wide variety of wildlife and fish, including deep water species such as mako sharks, swordfish and right whales.
Think about the (shall we say) fortitude required to paddle a dugout canoe into the ocean to go after blue water sharks and 40-foot whales. It brings a whole new meaning to the term "Stone Age."
