Last week in my "Weston Wants" blog there were two Luxury Homes that closed.  No they were not a short sale or a foreclosure.  I'm asked all the time if listings over a million are moving at all.  My answer to that is yes they are selling,like all homes they have to be priced right.  South Florida still has a large percent-age of buyers looking for that "Luxury Home".   2900   PADDOCK ROAD  "IN WINDMILL RANCH ESTATES" WESTON, FL This five bedroom plus office,four bath custom estate was completely renovated.

"A Happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, But rather a person with a certain set of attitudes."    Hugh Downs My family and I are able to be a part of an organization that lets any child with any disability become a baseball player on a team that meets every Sunday.  No one is turned away and everyone gets to play. The teenagers that volunteer are the players "Buddy".  They help them with the fundamentals of the game, hitting the ball, how to hold the bat, and the best part of all running the bases.   Arriving at the park and seeing all the excitement the kids bring to the field and their smiling faces just makes you want to stop and say O.K. lets "play ball".  They are so ready to get the game started.   Parents are asked to sit and watch the game and let the B... 03/17/2009

When you hear the letters "Y-M-C-A," you automatically think of kids and swimming and summer camps. I remember as a kid that the "Y" was a place anyone could swim or play sports when there wasn't a park or school nearby.  I never gave much thought as to how the YMCA was run.  I just always knew the YMCA never turned  anyone away because of inability to pay. My family has been a member of the Weston YMCA, located in Regional Park, since it opened two years ago. Classes in all areas of fitness are offered -- from Spinning to yoga to Zumba. There is something for everyone - including plenty of equipment which allow you to do your workout in a reasonable period of time. There are basketball courts, rock climbing, a brand new outdoor pool. and a daycare. I'm always looking for a way to give ... 02/18/2009

WHAT IS WESTON?   The City of Weston is located on Florida's southeast coast, in western Broward County.   Weston is a suburb of Fort Lauderdale, located 25 miles west of Fort Lauderdale beach and 31 miles north of downtown Miami.  Weston is a bedroom community, that is located near some of the finer attractions that the "bigger" cities provide, yet it is able to maintain a home-town feel that so many people enjoy.  If the "big" city is not what you want, many fine dining and shopping opportunities exist within the city limits, making it possible to never really have to leave to find what you are looking for.  Weston truly has it all.    Built to give Weston a "home-town" feel, Weston Town Center provides shopping and dinning for many residents and non-residents alike.  There are activi... 01/07/2009

Each year, my kids enjoys the wonderful fireworks displays as they rings in the New Year. As soon as the sun sets, they go out to the back patio and wait, and wait and wait. In 2008, just like my kids, buyers waited and waited and waited for the prices to drop. Even though Dr. Hank Fishkind, Florida Real Estate Consultant, says we should hit rock bottom in the coming months of 2009, he also says Miami-Dade will recover sooner than Broward, thanks to its international population and trade.He did go on to say that Broward will have a tougher time turning around since it's dealing with the double-whammy of negative population and job growth in 2008.The first signs of recovery will be when the volume of existing home closings goes up and the foreclosure rate goes down. Experts are predictin... 01/06/2009
