In August, Miami real estate prices were up 7.7 percent compared to last year – but don’t despair, future South Florida homeowners! Fort Lauderdale, a mere 30 miles from Miami and an integral part of the Miami Customs District, saw prices drop by 7.4 percent during the same period. Homes in this unofficial capital of Broward County have much of the same glamorous luxury Miami has to offer (with even more waterfront homes), if a little less of the night-time hubbub. We asked three local realtors for some of their prime waterfront listings in the area. This is what they offered.
