Fisher Island Beach Club

December 18th, 2009

The newly renovated Beach Club is definitely the “Crown Jewel” of Fisher Island.

It brings new life, reminiscent of past glory, beauty, luxury and service only found

on our magical island.

Fisher Island Club threw a fantastic opening party on December 13th.

 

The weather was divine, the live bands entertaining and the service extravagant.
 
The food was beyond my expectations. My favorite was the salmon that had chopped cilantro, basil and topped with sugar giving it a sweet tang flavor. Just had to return for more!
 
  
Residents glowed with pride and pleasure with the final unveiling.

They toasted and danced while children frolicked in the sand nearby in their Sunday’s best.

Wish I had more pictures to show you, I got caught up in the excitement of the flowing champagne and that succulent salmon… Sorry….

Fisher Island Real Estate

November 20th, 2009

We are pleased to announce that Fisher Island Real Estate opened it’s reach in the Luxury real estate market outside of the Island.

After getting so many requests over the years, I’m very happy to be able to use my knowledge and skills to assist them with their real estate needs.

My first “off-island” sale finalized this week for $3.7 Million.  An amazing 4 bedroom 4 baths waterfront home located on Venetian Drive.

My client is a gentle Texan with exquisite taste and he will be making major modifications to his newly acquired home.

Both buyer and seller happily achieved their goals.  The buyer wanted to close by Thanksgiving.

The sellers were happy with the price making the quick move from their home of 10 years more bearable.

While I’ve exclusively focused on Fisher Island for the past  5 years, I bring over 15 years experience on and off island combined.
It’s good to know that we can accommodate our client’s needs beyond the Island.

Let me know how I assist you, your friends and family members with your real estate needs.  You can be assured they will be in good hands.

Fisher Island “Market Update”

September 17th, 2009

 

View-of-Seaside-villas

Even Fisher Island is not immune to the real estate

trends. Our residents are dealing with the impact of global

economic conditions and finding ways to weather this economic

slow down just like everyone else.

For some it means selling their vacation home or downsizing.

Since prices have been dropping from 30% up to 50% off the

2007 highs, the few owners who purchased at the top of the

market or took equity loans have been forced into trying

short sales or have foreclosed. Out of the 9 current pending

sales 7 are short sales. Short sales are not as easy to acquire

as it used to be with some pending sales lasting far longer 

then a year.

Of the 23 units closed this year to date, 2 were foreclosures.

The current 2009 average sold price per square foot on the

island is $710.

Sellers have adjusted their asking prices with

today’s market in mind with a List-to Sale ratio of 12%. 

With discounts like this, we’ve seen a 25% increase in sales as

compared to last year from new buyers happy to take

advantage of the market and finally purchase their dream

home on Fisher Island.

So, if you would like to purchase a larger residence,

or are in the market for a new residence,

now seems to be a good time to take advantage of the  market.

Feel free to contact me so I can bring you up to date on all

current units available and assist you with your real estate needs.

Suzanne

 

*List-to-Sale ratio: indicates how far sellers typically dropped

from their last asking price before closing. 

Email me and I’ll send you a detailed Year-to-Date sales

 report or a  list of Available homes for sale.

Beach Club demolition party

“Out with the old, in with the new” This is the graffiti that one resident scribbled on the grounds of the Beach Club at Fisher Island’s demolition party last week.

img_32361

 
 

Over 350 residents and hotel guest were present to see the last of the Beach Club

 

 

And so it is that the club went out in style with a fabulous cocktails and delightful buffet.

img_31801

Kids and adults alike were thrilled to leave their mark on the walls using a sledgehammer or paint.

It truly was a blast…

This marks the beginning of a revitalization of the most beloved of the island, The Beach Club.

The buying trend this year has been with larger units, oceanfront, unique renovated or turn key units, Palazzo del Mare (Developers latest building on Government cut), and studios (with boat slips).
