Palm Beach Real Estate and Loans

Believe it or not - every now and then clients do ask me about homes for sale in areas other then BallenIsles-

Perfect example: About an hour ago I received a call form someone that was considering buying in PGA National.  They wanted to get my opinion on when homes would start 'selling again'.  This is the part that I really hate, too many people have been brainwashed into thinking that real estate is dead and nothing could be farther from the truth!

Simply put, prices HAVE come down, mortgage rates are STILL low and real estate IS moving.

I have to run off to a showing, so I'll make it quick:

Since 1/1/2010 40 homes have gone to contract / closed in PGA National.

Are you going to take advantage of a great situation or would you rather be sitting around in 6 months saying "I wish I would have....."

Just listed:

85 St James

Open, bright 4 bedroom home just across the water from the 7th hole of BallenIsles South Course.

This property is very quiet and private - on a cul-de-sac in the center of BallenIsles Golf / Country Club.

Southwest view looks down the length of one of the largest bodies of water in the community.

Call me to tour the property and the brand-new Sports / Fitness Complex.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants the lifestyle associated with a famous Golf / Country Club, but is not looking for a huge estate home-

114 D Palm Bay in BallenIsles

This 3 Bedroom / 3 Bathroom Coach Home is extremely light & open and has a fantastic water view from the screened patio.

The property has a private elevator, granite countertops, tile in the diagonal and accordion shutters.  AND, unlike so many other properties, this one is priced to sell, not to sit-

All levels of Membership are available and all include use of the New Sports / Fitness Complex.

Call me at 561-282-7406 for a tour of the Home and the Club.

Here's come great news from the real estate world to ring in the New Year:

Another Big Gain in Existing Home Sales

Why?

According to NAR President Vicki Cox Golder:

.."conditions are optimal for buyers in the current market. Inventories have steadily declined and are closer to balanced levels, which indicate home prices in many areas are either stabilizing or could soon stabilize and return to normal appreciation patterns, this means buyers still have good choices but are purchasing near the bottom of the price cycle with historically low mortgage interest rates. Throw a tax credit on top and it really doesnt get any better for buyers with secure jobs and long-term ownership plans."

Things have been improving steadily -

NAR reported that nearly all markets in the US are experiencing solid gains over last year.

Most importantly to us (not to be selfish, but this IS where I do business!) the Southern part of the country:

"In the South, existing-home sales rose 4.8 percent to an annual level of 2.39 million in November and are 44.8 percent higher than a year ago."

Great news to end the year on - and let's all work to make it even better in 2010!

Why waste time cooking (and cleaning up afterwards!) this year when there's a much better alternative?
