THE MARKET IN FLORIDA IS DEFINITELY TURNING April 23, 2009
Charles Hanes

Hey investors! Since last fall you’ve been writing to me asking me to give you a head’s up when/if the Florida market starts to turn around. I am always happy to comply with your wishes and, after all, Florida is one of my favorite places in the world. How can you not be drawn to those sandy beaches and that sun, sun, sun!

Well, I just returned from another “due diligence trip” like the one I took last spring and last fall, after which I wrote articles telling you that the market still had a ways to fall. Well, thanks to initiatives implemented by President Obama, low interest rates and drastically reduced prices (not to mention a serious pool of foreclosure properties) I can tell you that the Florida market now has a ‘buy now’ sticker plastered all over it!

Don’t get me wrong, there are still lots of Foreclosures but where do you think deals come from? Houses and condos that were selling in the $500,000 price range, today are being gobbled up for around $250,000. Despite what we read about the plethora of foreclosures a surprisingly large number of real buyers are down there grabbing up these deals!

I met with buyers who couldn’t qualify for a home in the $500,000 price point but now, with a tax credit of $7,500 for first time buyers and extremely low mortgage rates, that first time buyer who couldn’t quality is now buying that $500,000 house at half price and they do qualify for $250,000! Sales are up and prices are still down but they won’t sit at that level for ever so if you are looking to invest in southeast Florida I would recommend that you Register with me right away, and let me find you what you are looking for.

The best indicator when working with me is to know that I’ve purchased for myself, and I did buy a place during this trip. I also found a very high quality, low density development along the Hillsboro Mile (one of Southeast Florida’s most prestigious residential ocean front neighborhoods) where prices have been reduced between 35% and 50%! The development is called 1200 Hillsboro Mile and one of it’s biggest selling features is that there are only eleven prestigious residences in phase I which is located on the west side of A1A with unobstructed views of the Intracoastal! That’s right you can sit in your living room or front porch and watch the yachts motor by!

1200 Hillsboro Mile is truly spectacular! If you are one of my frequent readers, you already know that I don’t just recommend anything out there! I don’t work solely for commission. Don’t get me wrong I have to get paid for my services but I take very seriously my fiduciary obligation to protect the best interests of ONLY my client! Trusting my word and my professionalism is what has made me so successful over the years. My clients and frequent readers (who unfortunately infrequently use “cousin Jane” for the buy after gaining the needed knowledge from my free articles) know that I always go the extra mile by undertaking complete and comprehensive “due diligence” and before Endorsing any development or developer I insist on always meet with the developer. As George Bush said about Putin, “I looked into his eyes and see his soul”. Well, I’m not that full of hot air (nothing personal George) as I couldn’t hope to “see a man’s soul from looking in his eyes” but, as I said many times here before, although “I was born at night it was not last night” and I can always tell integrity when I see it and this guy is a straight talker with a quality product that is already built.


If you are a frequent reader you will know my view on the flakiness of the majority of Toronto developers (Canderel Stoneridge for instance – I still haven’t been able to get over the offensive way they have handled clients).

The location 1200 Hillsboro Mile is truly second to none. It’s located right on A1A just south of Hillsboro just north of Fort Lauderdale and just south of Boca Raton right on the ocean and Intracoastal. It’s a two phase development with the first building completed and some units already occupied and did I say that “there are deals to be had”!!! Oh ya, “there’s deals to be had”. When I was down last fall I picked up their price list and can show you legitimate price reductions with uncompromised quality finishes. Price is not the only thing to go on though and as I said above, I’ve met personally with the Developer and I have no hesitation recommending this quality development as “A Buy”!

They had been reading my web site already (boy it’s still impressive to meet people who’ve been reading my material and have such positive things to say) and I told them that, based on their physical product, uncompromised location and revised prices that I’d probably have a couple investors for them so if you’ve been holding back looking for a quality investment in southeast Florida contact me right away. I managed to build in a couple perks for my buyers that take this investment opportunity over the top so if you are sincerely looking for a “no lose investment” or just a top quality winter residence (or permanent residence if you’re fortunate enough to be able to move there) I am confident that I’ve got it for you.

They are selling (have made a couple sales in the past week) and with only eleven homes in the building, you can understand that these prices will not be available for very much longer so contact me today. I’ve got a couple of unbeatable perks for clients that you wont’ find anywhere else!

I’m heading back down shortly to search out other investment opportunities but I’m doubtful that I will find others that match the quality, location, prices and/or perks that I have for you with 1200 Hillsboro Mile.

I’m Charles Hanes!
