The Off-Market Listing You Won't Find on Zillow: Inside a 2,662 Sq Ft Waterfront Unit at HAVN Residences and Yacht Club
There's a three-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2,662-square-foot direct waterfront condo at HAVN Residences and Yacht Club that isn't listed on the MLS, Zillow, or realtor.com — it's fully off-market, and it carries the best price per square foot of any direct waterfront unit in the entire building.
I'm Joe Vairo — a 2x eXp ICON Agent, ranked the #3 real estate agent in Fort Lauderdale by Fort Lauderdale Magazine, and founder of the Vairo Group, ranked the #3 real estate team in Fort Lauderdale. Off-market waterfront inventory like this rarely surfaces publicly, so I track it closely for clients who want first access before it ever hits the open market. Here is the full breakdown.
What Makes This Unit Off-Market
This condo at HAVN Residences and Yacht Club is not listed anywhere public — not the MLS, not Zillow, not realtor.com. That means the only way to see it is through a direct connection, which is exactly the situation here: it's being shown before it's shopped around publicly.
What Do You Actually See From This Unit
The view is a direct line of sight to Peanut Island, along with the sandbar, Phil Foster Park, and the marina sitting right in the backyard of the building. That combination — island, sandbar, and marina all in one sightline — is a specific waterfront package that's hard to replicate in most South Florida buildings.
Why the Location Feels Private Despite Being Central
The unit is tucked away from the building's main amenities, so you don't have pool or deck activity happening right off your balcony. Instead, what you get off that balcony is Peanut Island and the marina — quiet, peaceful, and private, even though you're still inside an active waterfront community.
Why a Lower Floor Can Actually Be the Better Buy
This unit sits on a lower floor, and rather than being a drawback, it changes the feel of the space entirely — it reads more like living in a house in the sky than a typical high-rise unit. You still get an elevated view, but you also get the practical benefit of easier access, like walking the dog downstairs without a long elevator ride.
How Big Is This Condo, and What's the Layout
It's a three-bedroom, three-bathroom unit at 2,662 square feet — a genuinely large footprint for a direct waterfront condo, giving it more the scale of a single-family home than a typical high-rise layout.
How Does the Price Compare to Other Units in the Building
This unit has the best price per square foot of any direct waterfront condo in the entire HAVN Residences and Yacht Club project. For buyers evaluating waterfront product in this building, that combination of size, view, and price efficiency is not something that comes around often.
What This Means for Buyers Looking at HAVN Residences and Yacht Club
If you're shopping direct waterfront inventory in this building, an off-market unit at the best price per square foot with a 2,662-square-foot layout is worth moving on quickly — units like this typically don't stay unlisted for long once word gets out.
Am I Bullish on Off-Market Waterfront Deals Like This?
Yes. Off-market access lets a buyer skip the competitive bidding that comes with a public listing, and when the unit also happens to be the best value in the building on a price-per-square-foot basis, that's a rare combination worth acting on.
