GREAT NEWS FOR BOCA
  RATON HOMEBUYERS:



ITS TIME TO GET OFF
THAT FENCE!



&nbsp;



Everyone is talking about the fact that the S &amp; P
Case-Shiller home price index, which tracks home prices in 20 metropolitan
areas, rose for the first time in 34 straight months of decline. Various
housing indicators are showing glimmers of hope that the housing market is
improving.

&nbsp;



We all know that real estate is LOCAL so I have decided to
drill down into the numbers a bit. After examining sales for the three months
ending April 30, May 31, and June 30, I can confirm that for the first time in
three years, home prices in Boca Raton have increased
as have the number of sales. Although they are only slight increases and
will have to be tracked over time, it appears that we might be bottoming out.
The median selling price of a Boca Raton home is $300,000  up from $286,000
just a month ago, but down from the high of $539,450 three years ago. The
number of homes sold also increased over 15% in the past month.



&nbsp;



A confluence of events are contributing to the increase in
activity:





Interest
     rates fell to 50-year lows



First
     time buyers can take advantage of the $8000 Federal Tax Credit



Buyers
     can get mortgages with as little as 3.5% down from the FHA



Prices
     are at historic lows&mdash;in Boca
       Raton, prices of single family homes are down 44%
     from the peak in the second quarter of 2006







Of course you only
know when the market hits the bottom after it starts to increase, so my
question is:



&quot;ARE WE THERE YET&quot;? 



&nbsp;



Please review these statistics so you can be better informed
of the trends:

&nbsp;





If you are in the market to buy Boca Raton real estate (or in the surrounding area), it is
time to get off that fence!
