Fairway Lakes at Viera – Gated Golf Course Living at Duran Golf Club

The Fairway Lakes development in Viera offers gated, golf course living on one of Brevard County’s most desirable course – Duran Golf Club.

Fairway Lakes homes are built by some of the most desirable custom builders around – like Christopher Burton Custom Homes, Arthur Rutenberg, and Viera Builders.  Although not building any new homes at this time, many of the resale properties were constructed by Toll Brothers.

Located near The Avenues at Viera shopping mall, the new Viera Hospital, Viera High School, and more, Fairway Lakes offers homeowners a great location, quality homes and very reasonable prices!

February saw two closings in Fairway Lakes.  One of these, 3388 Lamanga Drive was purchased by my clients for $405,000.  This 2,756 sq. ft. 3 bedroom 3 bath home with a pool is located directly on the fairway.

The other selling property was 3039 Refuge Court, a 3,646 sq. ft. 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home with a pool located on a pond sold for $550,000.

As of today there are six active listings in Fairway Lakes ranging in price from $465,000 to $749,000.

If you are considering golf course communities in Melbourne, Florida, Fairway Lakes as well as the nearby Wyndham at Duran (much larger homes) deserve consideration.

With Snow and Cold Up North the Mind Turns to Florida and Your Second Home…

 With Snow and cold up north, the mind turns to Florida and your second home…  

I learned a long time ago (OK, about eight years ago)  that when the weather in the northeast gets cold and the snows start coming folks have a tendency to get “orange juice in their veins.”

Actually I coined the phrase after my first winter in real estate in Brevard County Florida.  I realized so many of the folks I was showing houses to were snowbirds who had come for a visit and “just had to buy a home here.”

Very few purchased but I learned about the effects of the orange juice!

Looking at my blogs today Florida Homes for Sale as well as Florida Homes and Condos for Sale   I realized that the majority of web site visitors over the past week have been from places up north like

• Sharon, MA, 
• Chesapeake, VA (to us you are north!) 
• Rochester, NH, 
• Scarsdale, NY,  
• Halifax, Nova Scotia, 
• Hamburg, NJ 
• Memphis, TN (you are north too!), 
• Howell, NJ 

Well, you get the picture!   So, as you struggle to stay warm, you start thinking of warmer climates think about  moving to Brevard County, Florida. 

I know it is the winter and it will only be 65 tomorrow!

Pending Home Sales Showed Improvement in December

According to the National Association of Realtors®, pending home sales rose in December 2010 by 2%.
This gain marked the fifth time in the past six months pending homes has risen – a positive sign for the real estate market.

Pending homes sales in the south rose 11.5% – a good sign that will hopefully continue as folks dig out of the snow in the northeast and consider moving to Brevard County, Florida!

If you are ready to buy that winter home in Florida, consider the Viera area – especially the 55+ communities of Heritage Isle and Grand Isle.
