The statistics point to some differences between single family homes versus townhouses and condos in the Palm Beach County real estate market. Despite this, both markets experienced notably slight year-over-year changes.

52 Seabreeze Avenue in Delray Beach JUST SOLD!

My listing at 52 Seabreeze Avenue in downtown Delray Beach just sold for $1,940,000. The asking price was $1,980,000 and we sold for 98% of the list price after only 9 days on the market.

The buyers were thrilled to find this home as they are empty nesters who decided to leave their big house in west Broward and move to East Delray full time. Like the Sellers, they love the convenience to the beach and to the shopping and dining of Atlantic Avenue.

Located in Delray’s most desirable seaside neighborhood, this two story…
