Fort Lauderdale Beach Real Estate Market Update 2nd Quarter 2019

We kick-off into the second quarter of the year and let’s touch base on the Fort Lauderdale real estate market. Luckily the top metro markets for Florida includes Fort Lauderdale along with Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Sarasota and Jacksonville. Consumer confidence is high and demand for Florida fruit and vacations is high especially since it just snowed in the norther and western states. Oh my! All we need to worry about is brushing off the sand from our toes.

Broward luxury condo sales, which increased 48.6 percent in 2018, continued rising in January 2019. There is a strong pent-up demand for Broward luxury condos and for Broward real estate. No wonder Auberge Beach Residences and Spa situated at 2200 North Ocean Boulevard with the Atlantic Ocean serving as the front yard and the pristine beach its residences backyard. It is the only newly built residential property directly on the beach in Fort Lauderdale in the last two decades. The 2019 housing market will see modest inventory gains with mortgage rates expected to hit 5.5 percent by the end of the year. So better to buy now if you can, than later in the year, if you are planning to obtain a mortgage. The experts don’t expect a buyer’s market on the horizon within the next five years.
