Many speculators were buying and flipping these prime waterfront properties during the boom years because of easy financing. When the real estate bubble burst, many walked away and let banks foreclose. As a result, in 2008, Cape Coral, Florida, had the highest number of real estate foreclosures in the country.

Cape Coral is selling more real estate then in the boom years because prices have dropped, in many cases 50 percent below reproduction cost. Many properties are receiving multiple bids and selling at or above list price within days of being listed.

Exterior view of The Point on the River

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 22, 2009

Homeowners and developers in the area are breathing a collective sigh of relief as the Milwaukee real estate market continues to report positive home-sales data, a trend that was supported at a recent event for luxury condos for sale in the city.

According to Metro MLS Inc., Milwaukee County recorded its sixth straight month of rising home sales in September, registering a 6.8 percent increase for September 2009 over September 2008.

Meanwhile, more than 300 guests attended a grand opening event for the recently completed penthouse condos for sale at The Point on the River, a 12-story loft-conversion at the intersection of the Milwaukee and Menomonee Rivers, and a half dozen units were sold or put under contract, according to Chicago-based sales and marketing firm, Garrison Partners, and the developer, Milwaukee-based Mandel Group.

Garry Benson, principal of Garrison Partners, said low interest rates, standing inventory and the soon-to-expire $ 8,000 First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit are prompting buyers to get into the Milwaukee real estate market. And developers are finding new ways – or revisiting old ones – to attract buyers to their projects.

For Garrison Partners and Mandel Group, that meant hosting a large-scale event complete with a full-service bar, gourmet hors d’oeuvres and pop-up galleries featuring the latest in interior design trends. It was the first such event for Garrison in many months, and Benson noted that it yielded a great return on investment.

“Live events have always been one of the most effective ways to build buzz and generate interest from prospective buyers for new developments such as these condos for sale,” said Benson. “There is no substitute for being able to experience the space, touch the finishes and see the views. Seeing a room packed with 300 prospective buyers was a very encouraging sign that buyer confidence is returning. It also sends a message to developers that it’s time to get back in the game, to start marketing again.”

The penthouse preview event was the second event at The Point on the River this year. In February, the development team hosted a grand opening for the lower floors, which also generated healthy sales activity for Milwaukee real estate, Benson noted.

A turnaround of a distressed asset, The Point on the River is a good example of how event marketing can effectively revitalize and renew interest in a project.

“By reintroducing the property to buyers in stages, we were able to continually build their confidence in the community,” said Benson. “As the building’s success has continued, buyers who were once on the fence about buying Milwaukee real estate are now taking action.”

Answer by OldJimmy
There are some small variations in practice by state, but the general rule is the square footage is the total (rooms, halls, etc.) that is climate controlled (A/C, heat, etc.). A garage would not be included. An unfinished basement would not be included. It includes both floors of a multi-floor home.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) August 7, 2006

There is a new type of golf vacation home that golf enthusiasts are buying. This new type of golf vacation home is the combination of a golf vacation residence, a luxury resort hotel, a luxury condominium, and a real estate investment property.

“This is a new lifestyle concept combining the luxury, service, and amenities of a world-class hotel with the ownership benefits of a high-end condominium. This new real estate approach is ideal as a second or third vacation home, or a premier golf vacation residence,” says Mr. Kevin D. Wright, a South Florida Realtor and Licensed Mortgage Broker. “Sometimes you will hear this concept described as hotel condominium, condominium hotel, or condotel.”

An owner of a resort hotel condominium enjoys all of the benefits of owning a home. An owner of a resort hotel condominium has the ability to re-sell their condominium unit in the open market. The owner pays real estate taxes, maintenance fees, and the usual insurances. Under certain circumstances, these typical payments could represent tax deductions. Obviously one would consult a tax specialist for specifics concern tax deductions. Mr. Wright added, “Some buyers may find that purchasing a resort hotel condominium can be an excellent vehicle for 1031 tax deferred exchanges. We have the resources to put something like this together.”

As an owner of a resort hotel condominium, each owner has the option of allowing their unit to be placed in a rental management program when they are not using their golf vacation residence. The golfers like this part because it can lower the carrying costs of their vacation home. When their home is not in use, a resort hotel condominium could generate hotel income. “One should never leave an asset under-utilized. This is the part that attracts many golfers. Many golfers use it as a second or third vacation home that doubles as a real estate investment. Generally speaking the net revenue, after expenses, generated from the rental of an owner’s suite is paid directly to the owner by the hotel management company,” says Mr. Wright.

Golf enthusiasts around the world have recently discovered two major resort hotel condominiums located in tropical South Florida. One project is located in the Miami, Florida area and the other project is located in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida area. Both of these resort hotel condominiums’ primary focus is on golf.

The resort hotel condominium located in the Miami area offers five championship golf courses. As an owner of this particular golf vacation residence, one would have access to preferred tee times on all five championship golf courses. This includes the golf course featured in major golf tours. This particular golf course has recently become part of a major golf championship series. Mr. Wright added, “It is already renowned for its fabled champions and electrifying tournaments.”

The Miami area resort hotel condominium also offers a world-renowned golf school. Golfers around the world consider this particular golfing school to be one of the leading golf schools in America.

The Miami area resort hotel condominium is the first and only luxury resort condominium ever to be developed along the fairways of a legendary golf course. A popular golf digest ranks one of the golf courses at this South Florida location as one of the top golf courses in Florida. A popular golf magazine identifies the 18th hole on this golf course as being one of the top 100 holes in the world.

After a golfer buys a resort hotel condominium at this particular Miami area location, they will discover how to receive complimentary tickets to a major golf tour event.

The resort hotel condominium located in the Fort Lauderdale, Florida area offers two championship golf courses. The golf courses feature signature waterfalls, beautiful vistas, and challenging greens. There is even a resident golf concierge available. For the true golf aficionado that prefers Fort Lauderdale, there are six additional high-level courses in the area.

The two major resort hotel condominiums located in tropical South Florida differ in pricing. The purchase of one of these resort hotel condominiums can be financed. Much like a conventional, residential condominium purchase, the lender’s decision to make the loan will be based on the creditworthiness of the individual purchaser and the value of the residence being purchased. Mr. Wright added, “Not all lender’s understand or provide funds for the purchase of resort hotel condominiums. One may wish to use current banking relationships and find that rates are unacceptable or the property type is unacceptable. As a Licensed Mortgage Broker, we have established relationships with two lenders that specialize in resort hotel condominiums.”

Golfers are viewing the purchase of a resort hotel condominium as an investment in a lifestyle. “We hear stories of resort hotel condominium buyers bragging about their new purchase. They are making their friends, relatives, and co-workers jealous. They get pampered existence, the whole package. It’s more than golf,” says Mr. Wright. “There are still a few luxury suites available for purchase at both locations. Please contact us for current pricing, developer incentives, full-color brochures, or to arrange a private viewing.”
