The "Strategic Standoff"

Greater Fort Lauderdale Luxury Real Estate

November 2025 Market Report

Hi there, Friends,

This is Jennie Frank Kapoor with Tropical Phoenix Homes. Welcome to the November 2025 edition of Values: Key Takeaways.

As much of the country settles into Winter, here in sunny (and warm!) South Florida we are navigating a unique shift in the rhythm of the Greater Fort Lauderdale luxury market. We are witnessing a moment where seasonal traditions are colliding with evolving economic realities, creating two distinct stories across our skyline and our waterfront.

Whether you own a high-rise residence on the beach or an estate in the Isles, the headline is the same: Luxury values are rising even as velocity slows.

However, beneath the surface, the market has split into two very different realities.

Speaking of "Smart Money," I wanted to share two opportunities sourced through my direct network that perfectly fit this month’s thesis.

1) Ocean & Intracoastal View Townhouse Site | Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL

Ask Price: $1.0M | Status: Off-Market

In a market where land is scarce, this is a rare blank canvas zoned for two luxury townhouses with rooftop views of both the Ocean and Intracoastal. At a land basis of just $500k per door, the math works: build two, sell or rent one to cover your basis, and keep the second as a high-equity residence in an appreciating boutique market steps from the beach or Intracoastal. It’s a flexible play for a developer or a visionary end-user. The owner is a good friend of mine.

2) 90’ Direct Waterfront Site | Lighthouse Point, FL

Ask Price: $1.595M | Status: Off-Market

I call this property "A Home for You and Your Yacht." Finding 90 feet of direct water frontage under the $2M mark is becoming nearly impossible. This 9,000 SF lot is the perfect "reimagine" target—whether you scrape it to build a custom masterpiece or renovate to capture instant equity. It offers the one thing they aren't making any more of: deep-water access. This opportunity is through a great broker friend of mine.

If you are looking for value that defies the broader market, reply to this email and I will share the site details and surveys with you directly. Oh by the way, I've got plenty more where this comes from! Let's talk.

The Bottom Line

The transaction liquidity in Greater Fort Lauderdale luxury is there, but it has become even more discerning. Success in late December and early 2026 means understanding that you are not just buying a property; you are securing a position on an increasingly crowded map.

I’m excited to share this month’s full insights with you in the reports linked above. Thank you, as always, for letting me be part of your luxury real estate journey.

With Gratitude,

Jennie
