Boca Raton Real Estate

Luckily for buyers and sellers in our local area, the dog days of summer haven’t slowed down the Boca Raton real estate market. The latest market report from Florida Realtors® is out, and though many statistics seemingly favor sellers, the numbers demonstrate a balance of power across Palm Beach County.

Single Family Homes in Palm Beach County

The biggest changes year-over-year in Palm Beach County’s single family homes market concerned the median sale price and median days to contract. The median sale price increased by 7.8 percent, now sitting at $345,000. This, coupled with the 4.7 month’s supply of inventory reported, suggests the area is trending towards sellers.

One of Boca Raton’s most beautiful neighborhoods, Old Floresta was developed by famed architect Addison Mizner in the 1920s.

As May draws to a close, let’s take a look back with the newly released Florida Realtors® market report for April 2017. 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

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.

My sellers bought this townhouse 3 years before as a second home. Unfortunately they were not able to use the home as much as they hoped so reluctantly decided to look for a buyer who would love the house as much as they do.

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…

Florida Realtors® has released its report on the Palm Beach real estate market for March 2017. Overall, our local markets continue to be balanced, though the numbers reported have certainly demonstrated notable shifts when compared year-over-year. 

Single Family Homes in Palm Beach County

The statistics reported for Palm Beach County’s single family homes in March suggest that the market is working to the advantage of sellers — at least for the time being. Though still predominantly balanced, the 10.3 percent spike in closed sales and 8.9 percent rise in the median sale price are great news for sellers. That said, the month’s supply of inventory continues to linger around a balanced figure, even more so than the year prior when it came in at 5.1.…
