The City of Hallandale Beach has begun construction to improve the bridges in the waterfront community of Golden Isles. The bridge improvements are mostly for aesthetics and for preventative maintenance.  The concrete and steel commercial type barriers will be replaced with more decorative concrete barriers and decorative lighting, the center posts of each section will have beautiful ornate aluminum light fixtures.  Golden Isles has recently completed the new guard house, new curbs and landscape projects, so this new bridge project will truly enhance the community as a whole. This will help provide Golden Isles with a fresh look for the years to come. The expected completion date is November 2009.

New To The Market In Golden Isles

access_time

Last week 619 Palm Drive in Golden Isles came on the market.  Golden Isles is a gated waterfront community directly on the border of Miami Dade and Broward County.  The home rests right on the Intracoastal Waterway with beautiful views and vibe of boats cruising along the Intracoastal. The two-story home was built in 1997 and has 5 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths with over 5,000 sq.ft.   The tropical paradise is approximately 15,000 sq. ft (100′ x 150′) with a custom pool and 60′ dock which includes a 13,000lb boat lift.  Palm Drive is the only street in Golden Isles that is directly on the Intracoastal, the other streets are on canals but all of Golden Isles is on deep water and wide canals which is good for boat owners looking to protect their vessels.

Golden Isles Year In Review

Golden Isles is a gated waterfront single family home community with approximately 307 homes.  In 2008 there were a total of 10 sales in Golden Isles.  The lowest sales price was $500,000 and the highest sales price was $1,649,000.  I am very active in this community and sold 50% or 5 of the sales in this community in 2008 including the 2 sales mentioned above.  Clients often ask me “Where will the buyer for my house come from”? and although I don’t have a crystal ball, I do know where 50% of the buyers for this Golden Isles Waterfront community came from and even though this community is a small part of South Florida it is still a good representation of how international South Florida truly is.

Changes to Insurance Regulations Impact South Florida Condo Owners

access_time

The regulation (Fla. Stat. §718.111 (2008)), effective January 1, 2009, will require Florida condominium owners and their insurers to specifically name their condominium association as an additional named insured. In addition, the minimum amount of loss assessment coverage carriers must provide has been increased from $1,000 to $2,000.

Some of the major implications on South Florida condominium ownership include:

  • Condominium associations may require each unit owner to provide evidence of a hazard and liability insurance.
  • Effective January 1, 2009, unit owner policies must include loss assessment coverage of at least $2,000 per occurrence.
  • Effective January 1, 2009, condominium associations must be listed as a loss payee (additional interest) on all unit owner policies issued. The actual wording includes reference to additional named insured and this wording is up for review in the next legislative session.
