Palm Beach County New Construction Homes Under $300,000As you may have perviously heard or read about in a recent article from the Sun-Sentinel, new construction single-family homes under $300,000 in both Palm Beach and Broward counties are becoming increasingly difficult to find on today’s housing market, which to active buyers already browsing what’s available, is hardly news at this point.  

So just why exactly is it so hard to find an affordable new construction home in Boca Raton or the surrounding area? Well, thanks to a very active market, labor shortages, and rising costs for land and building materials, home builders all over the South Florida region are opting to build for luxury home buyers rather than for first-time buyers or young and growing families, leaving a significant shortage of newly…

Most Expensive Condo Buildings in Highland Beach FLAs a small coastal town that’s wedged in between Delray Beach and Boca Raton, Highland Beach might not always get the hype that its neighbors to the north and south receive, but its housing landscape is easily just as impressive.

On a year-round basis, only about 4,150 people call Highland Beach home, and that number really only swells to just over 8,000 during the peak winter months. Translation—options are slightly more limited in terms of ultra-luxury homes and condos.

But given its position right alongside the oceanfront, potential condo buyers still shouldn’t have much trouble finding an incredible living space that fits a variety of needs and wants, and when it comes to the best of the best, three buildings in particular tend to stand out…

Boca Oceanfront 55+ Condos In a place like Boca Raton, where the weather is gorgeous all year long and the scenic South Florida oceanfront is always accessible, 55+ condos are highly sought-after by active adults looking to make the most of their retirement. In most instances, 55+ communities in Boca Raton require at least one person who is 55 or over, and as you might expect, most also include all sorts of resort-style amenities that combine to provide one heck of a living experience. 

Safety is also a primary advantage to living in a 55+ condo in Boca, not to mention the added layer of security and the social aspect of it too. But with so many 55+ communities and condo buildings to choose from, deciding which may be the best fit isn’t always easy. On the flip side, however, if…

Boca Gated Waterfront HomesThe Boca Raton real estate market offers home buyers a wide-range of options and opportunities, but the vast selection of luxury homes for sale here is often what defines the local housing landscape. For some buyers, a sprawling mansion that sits right alongside the oceanfront is the ultimate luxury living experience, and for others it’s a place that backs right up to the 18th green on one of Boca’s numerous championship golf courses.

In almost every case, though, living in a gated community and enjoying that extra layer of privacy and security tends to be a top priority for luxury home buyers, which works out well given Boca Raton’s fabulous inventory of upscale gated communities. But just like any other aspect of the housing market, not all gated…

Boca Raton Dog-Friendly Condos For SaleFinding a desirable dog-friendly condo building in Boca Raton isn’t as challenging as it used to be, but potential buyers out there who specifically have a four-legged part of the family still need to be careful when beginning a new condo search. Many older condo buildings in Boca still don’t allow pets of any kind, and even newly built condo buildings have certain restrictions on breeds, maximum weight, or how many pets in total you’re allowed to have inside your home. In addition, enjoying a close proximity to dog and pet-friendly amenities outside of where you live can also be an important part of choosing a particular location, which can ensure a great living experience for both you and your furry friends. So if you’re in the market for a new…

South Florida Market Update - 2017While much of South Florida has been a red hot seller’s market over the first half of 2017, home price gains are starting to slow a bit according to the latest S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Index.

In both January and February, home prices in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties jumped 6.7% compared to the first two months in 2016, and in March, the year-over-year increase dropped slightly, but still reached 6%.
