Christmas present - an extraordinary view with increasing value


This is the Sunday of Advent and the fourth and last candle is lit. Do you have all presents ready for Christmas?
If not then it is time to hurry and get ready.

For all who are interested to make their whole family a big and long lasting present. May the new construction that are growing all over in Miami-Dade and Broward County are the right investment for the future. The Condos in Miami and Fort Lauderdale are in excellent locations and start in the low $200,000 and up to $1.5 Million. There is the right condominium for every piggy bag on the market. However, do not wait. The market is picking up and there are many interested buyers on the market.

Florida’s real estate is improving.

Yes, the Florida real estate is improving and it is nearly back to its normal conditions. The following data show this and the forecast is that the trend goes in the same direction for next two years.
As the last statistics of November 2013 show, sellers get 94 % of their asking price. Over the last 3 years, the difference between listing and sale price was much bigger than 6 %.  This situation is also backed by the available homes on the market. More active listings help the market to recover in a healthy way.
In comparison to November 2012, the active listings have increased by 14.8 % for single-family homes and new listings for condominiums arose by 5.4 % since November 2012.

The median price for a Florida single family home is $169,900 that is up by 13.3 % in comparison of November 2012 and the median price for townhouses and condominiums is $131,200 up by 17.2 % from November 2012.

The Florida numbers are still below the national median numbers. The median price for the single family home is $199,500 and $199,200 for condominiums nationwide.

The statistics also show that there are also fewer short sale and only cash deals during the examined period. That indicates that the market is going back to traditional conditions.

Winterfest Parade in Fort Lauderdale

Yesterday was one of the big days in Fort Lauderdale. Each year the City and the Hard Rock Hotel organize the big Winterfest Boat Parade. This is a well-known event and many spectators were looking along the Intracoastal Waterway in the mild evening breeze.

When you are here in Fort Lauderdale on a visit next year in December mark your calendar with this event. It is terrific even if you have been there several times. It is also a good idea to get familiar with the best viewing spots because the ticket are going quickly.

In case you did not get a ticket for this event, the best way is to find a little park or little green spots along the parade route. Another option is to find a friend with a boat or use a dinner cruise for this event. These boats anchor on the Waterway in designated areas while the parade boats are passing by.

The parade starts on the New River where the north and south fork comes together and follows the New River through the downtown area towards the Intracoastal Waterway. From there the route turns north and the end is the Santa Barbara Lake where the ships turn and go back.

Such a Winterfest Parade in Fort Lauderdale has more than 50 illuminated Boats with many Christmas and Holiday motives. These boats are often sponsored by Fort Lauderdale businesses but private boater can participate with their boats for a small starting fee.

Winter Boat Parade in Pompano Beach 2013



Yesterday was the second Advent's Sunday and we lit the next candle at our Advent's wreath. We are moving fast to the Christmas Day and with two lights, it is brighter and warmer.

The weekend there were no only two candles but many little lights and they were floating on the Intracoastal Waterway from the south Pompano Beach city limit to the Hillsboro Blvd. During the parade, the Sherriff block the big roads that cross the Intracoastal because the drawbridges were open to let the big and small Christmassy lighted boats pass.

The boats were decorated with Christmas motives like Frosty and Santa and lights all over. On the bigger ships, boaters had a party and waved with lights to the audience along the Intracoastal.  Many of the spectators at the Waterway waved back and enjoyed this spectator event.

The boat route on the Intracoastal Waterway is close to the Atlantic Ocean and so the evening breeze made it a little bit chilly and a sweater was the right outfit.

A little tip for the visitors next year: the best place for an excellent look with the right dinner ambience are the restaurants directly at the Intracoastal but you need to register in advance.

Many residents were lined up at the parade route. This year the route starts at the Riverside Dr, turned to the Atlantic Blvd west towards the US-1 over the drawbridge and ends at the McNab Park.
