Just Closed in Venetian Shores...Premium. Originally $2.5M now Closed at $1.7M! The Conchquistador Deal of The Day 4/21.

138 Valencia Dr Plantation Key 

I was recently discussing premium neighborhoods with a Buyer yesterday and educated her that there are really 6 premium neighborhoods in the Upper Keys.  Stillwright Point, Bayside in Key Largo at Mile Marker 106, Port Largo, Oceanside at Mile Marker 99, Buccaneer Point, Bayside at Mile Marker 98, The Port Antigua/Safety Harbor area, Bayside at Mile Marker 74, Millionaire's Row. Oceanside, at Mile Marker 89, and my Favorite, Venetian Shores, Bayside at Mile Marker 86.

Each has it's own distinct character and I sure that there are areas that I omitted that some would believe should be there and some that shouldn't, but over time, these are the areas that have gravitated to the consistent higher prices, larger homes and offer features that affluent buyers are seeking here in the Keys.  Deep water dockage, wider canals, larger homes, larger lots, consistency of the neighborhood, finishes, and open water views, are just some of the variables that most of these neighborhoods posses.

Today's deal is one of those very special homes in Venetian Shores such a coveted community.  Superbly finished with abundant charm and super location.  World Class fishing and diving are mere minutes away!!

Like most things though Price is Key.  Originally listed at $2,500,000 it took almost 2 years to sell until it was priced more aggressively at $1,895,000 to sell at $1,700,000

Just Closed in Prestigious Venetian Shores - Waterfront Home Originally listed at $1.4M now Closed at $950,000!

I Love Venetian Shores. It's one of my favorite Keys Communities. With its 11 peninsulas reaching out into Snake Creek like fingers thirsty to drink in the sea, it offers hardcore boaters deep water dockage and quick access to Islamorada's famed fishing grounds through the Keys' last Draw Bridge.  If you have a Hatteras or other large boat this is the community for you!

As, a Venetian Shores Specialist, I enjoy keeping my clients up to date with the latest available properties and real estate news, as well as recently closed properties.

As one of Islamorada's most in demand communities, Venetian Shores is always tops on everyone's list. Only minutes from Miami, yet a world away.

Now finding a sub- 1 Million Dollar property in Venetian Shores is becoming increasingly difficult.  That being said today's property is a very good catch indeed.  Originally listed for $1,400,000 and now Closed at $950,000!

Just Closed in Prestigious Venetian Shores - High End Short Sale - Last sold for $2.95M, Now Closed at $1,119,000!!

120 Villabella Drive, Islamorada
Yes...Proof that even the wealthy are having financial woes these days, this property in prestigious Venetian Shores in the Florida Keys was just sold and closed as a Short Sale!

For those of you who may not be aware, in a nutshell, a Short Sale is when the Seller owes more than the Market Value of the Property and their lender agrees to sell it at a loss.  Seller walks away with nothing, no equity, zilch, but they avoid foreclosure, (both are lousy plays but foreclosure trumps Short Sale in the really bad credit department), Lender takes the loss, and takes it as a write off and the Buyer often times gets a good value.

This one is a really sweet deal, considering that they paid $2,950,000 in 2006!!
And Now it has Closed for $1,119,000!!

The deals are out there...just gotta find them!

An Almost $1M Discount!! Just Closed in Prestigious Venetian Shores - The Conchquistador Deal of The Day 1.15.2012

136 San Remo Drive, Islamorada
2012 is certainly arriving with much gusto!!  And the heart of that real estate gusto is centered right on Venetian Shores.  Venetian Shoes has long been a popular and in-demand community here in Islamorada...and why not?  When this community was developed off Snake Creek, they had the foresight to dredge deep...really deep.  Venetian Shores is the best option for those hard and true boaters and fishermen with big burly. deep draft vessels and a channel that keeps them out of trouble as some other channels in the area are thin and sometimes traverse into skinny water.

Hey I like Venetian Shores because most of the streets have Italian names like Stromboli and Palermo.  Your Humble Conchquistador's last name in Italian, Marinelli, literally means "The Little Sailor"!  So as you can see I was destined to be by the water and Venetian Shores is idyllic, but I digress.

Today's Deal is Tropical...Elegance.

Congrats to my friend an colleague, here at American Caribbean, Leslie Leopold, for listing this home that has now just sold for $1,250,000.  Big and Beautiful, and perfectly situated, this remarkable home is one of the finest in the area.and was originally listed at $2,200,000!  Almost a $1M discount?? Now That's a bargain!!!!  Could have been yours!!!

The deals are out there folks, you've just got to grab them!

Just Sold in Venetian Shores, $575,0000!!! The Conchquistador Deal of the Day 12/17.2011

106 San Juan Drive, Plantation Key, Islamorada

Venetian Shores, on the Southern tip of Plantation Key, in Islamorada, is one of  my favorite communities in The Keys! 

Rich in History and THE spot for serious fishermen, with its deep water protected dockage and ideal access to open water via Snake Creek, Venetian Shores is the go-to community when looking for luxury, location, and the essence of Keys living.  World Class Fishing and Diving to the Left, Championship Bonefishing and Flats fishing to the right.  Wow when you get to Snake Creek...what a great choice!!!

Now, when people think of Venetian Shores they think of pricey, million dollar plus, waterfront homes on canals that lead to open water.  What few people know, is that there is a section of Venetian Shores, not so pricey, that is on non navigable water, BUT does have an adjoining marina for your Boat!

My associate, Joel Young, who by the way was just recipient of The Florida Keys Board of Realtors, "Rookie of the Year" Award, just worked with of the buyer of this Fantastic home, that is today's Deal!  I am certain that the Buyer will be Happy indeed!
