North Star Yacht Club, twin 12-story high rises located along the Caloosahatchee River in North Fort Myers, offers luxury riverfront condominium residences. COURTESY PHOTO Sales at North Star Yacht Club, a luxury riverfront condominium community, have flourished since December with 17 home sales reported within the last 45 days. In addition, weekly walk-in traffic more than doubled during last quarter 2009.

The Marketing Directors, exclusive sales and marketing agents for North Star Yacht Club located in North Fort Myers, said 23 residences have been sold since March 2009 and attributed the success to:

 Value pricing starting at $229,900 for a condominium which was originally listed at $758,900 and other dramatic reductions on the large two and three-bedroom floorplans, all with water views;

 Increased interest from international buyers seeking a second home in Florida;

 An aggressive marketing effort that includes advertising in airline and international publications, online banner ads, the launch of a redesigned Web site (www.North- StarYachtClub.com), online videos and a social media campaign that includes Facebook and Twitter;

 An offer of a one-year deep water slip lease included on select homes.

“We are making great strides in the Southwest Florida market,” said David Tufts, president, The Marketing Directors. “Value pricing has stimulated a strong jumpstart, with recent sales results reflecting the trend toward diminishing real estate inventory.”
