A Team Florida Keller Williams Realtors Hollywood Florida
No one sells Hillcrest like we do — period!
We don’t just sell homes here; we live, breathe, and love Hillcrest. When you’re passionate about the lifestyle, it shows, and that is why we consistently deliver results. This isn’t just a neighborhood to us, it’s home. That belief is what sets us apart, along with our commitment to the Code of Ethics, and our reputation is what gets our clients sold. Buyer agents seek us out because they know that it will be a smooth, successful process from contract to closing.
But here’s what’s concerning: too many condo owners aren’t seeing the shift happening in the condominium market over the past year. Yes, it’s true — Hillcrest buildings are largely ahead of the curve on SIRS compliance, inspections and ELSS requirements. But make no mistake, condo ownership overall has taken a hit, and the market reflects that.
At this time in 2023, there were 24 Hillcrest condos on the market, in 2024 there were 41, so we have more than tripled the number of condos on the market in just the past two years.
Now, let’s talk big picture.
Our insurance rates may be high (welcome to Florida!), but our buildings are solidly constructed and exceptionally maintained. Hillcrest is literally built on a rock quarry — a stable, safe foundation, unlike many other developments. All buildings either maintain strong reserves or are proactive with assessments to keep things up to standard. Our maintenance fees cover, lawn maintenance, utilities, pest control, internet, cable, and building insurance, accounting and legal; all rolled up into one streamlined fee.
And thanks to being historically undervalued, our real estate taxes are significantly lower. Bottom line? Hillcrest is the Hidden Jewel in Hollywood!
That said, we are in a strong buyer’s market right now — especially for condos. The numbers don’t lie:
For Over-55 high-rise corner units, six are currently active. Three of them have been sitting since November 2022, October 2023, and January 2024. Only two units sold in the past six months, both last year. Of the six active listings, five are priced higher than the last highest sale. Buyers are savvy — they know the comps and aren’t biting at inflated prices.
This is the first time in years we’ve seen listings routinely expire. It happened to one of ours. Overpriced listings are not going to sell in this market. While it is frustrating to see a listing expire after all the effort we invest — detailed marketing, weekly updates, constant communication — it is frustrating to see our seller hire another agent and list at the exact price we recommended from the start.
Here’s what sets us apart: We maintain a database of over 130 buyer agents who actively look to us for Hillcrest inventory because they know we do the heavy lifting. We know the quirks of every building’s rules, processes, and boards inside and out. We have compiled most of the condo docs and rules & regs for every building in our own internal library.
