Moving Up In Palm Beach Gardens Real Estate -

Great news - I’ve changed to a new brokerage - as of this week I am now a Real Estate Agent for Leibowitz Realty Group.

Their reputation as a leader in the luxury golf/country club market is un-paralleled in Palm Beach County.  You can read about the Companys history here.

They just opened up a new office at Midtown @ PGA Boulevard - a perfect location that will allow me to easily continue to service my main focus areas of:

  • BallenIsles
  • Mirasol
  • PGA National

 

Their other office is at 210 Brazilian Avenue in Palm Beach - just a few blocks north of Worth Avenue.

To see my, or any of the other Agents’, listings just take a look at the Meet the Team page.

There will be several changes to this website over the next few weeks, if you cant find what you need just call me at 561-282-7406 or email me at: marc@leibowitzrealty.com

Palm Beach Gardens Real Estate Market Reports - BallenIsles 1st Quarter 2008

Let's start off the 1st Quarter Palm Beach Gardens Real Estate Market Reports with a look at how things went in BallenIsles


View Larger Map


View Larger Map

The following information comes from our local MLS provider and ONLY consists of closed sales - properties termed 'Pending' or 'Contingent' are not included.

These are the BallenIsles properties that sold in January, February and March of 2007:

DOM List Price Sale Price Address Bed Bath Pool
269 779,000 580000 32 Laguna Terrace  3 3 Y
200 899,000 700000 26 Laguna Terrace 3 3 Y
425 799,000 755000 102 Pembroke Drive 4 4 Y
116 859,000 774250 1106 Crystal Drive 4 4 Y
321 1199000 890000 111 Coconut Key Court 4 4.1 Y
65 1089000 975000 118 Pembroke Drive 4 3.1 Y
507 1495000 1375000 123 St Edwards Place 4 4.1 Y
102 1595000 1415500 13 St George Place 3 4.1 Y
60 2100000 1825000 38 St George 4 4.1 Y
92 2890000 2875000 28 St Thomas 6 7 Y

 10 homes sold at an average price of $1,216,475 and the average days on market was just under 216.

Here's how things went in 2008:

DOM List Price Sale Price Address Bed Bath Pool
 333  499000  475000  144 Isle   3  3  Y
 195  499000  435000  146 Isle Drive  3  3  Y
 98  609900  525000  393 Isle Court  3  3  Y
 273  699000  570000  114 C Palm Bay Drive  3  3  N
 73  590000  575000  36 Laguna Terrace  3  3  Y
 273  649000  595000  61 Laguna Drive  3  3  Y
 255  699000  625000  50 Laguna Terrace  3  3  Y
 214  1395000  1050000  139 Vintage Isle Lane  3  5  Y
 419  1295000  1140900  107 Windsor Pointe Drive  3  3.1  Y
 146  1749900  1675000  107 Grand Palm Way  4  5.1  Y
 270  2495000  2200000  24 Saint Thomas Drive  4  5.1  Y
 

That's 11 sales at an average of $896,900 and 232 days on market.

As you can see that's pretty consistant from 2007 to 2008, actually a bit of an increase in units sold!  The avarage sale price did drop, but when you're only talking about 10 or 11 transactions, it doesn't take much to affect the average.

All in all, pretty good results when you consider that we're all bombarded daily with over-hyped stories about how real estate is 'dead and/or dying' in Florida.

Tomorrow we'll see the real estate sales results for PGA National, BallenIsles neighbor to the west.

Making Palm Beach Gardens Real Estate Even More Attractive - BallenIsles

People who regularly read my posts will know that I, along with many, many other Agents, am no fan of mass media - mainly due to the fact that they push negativity to an extreme.  Face it - negativity sells!  Newspapers - not real estate.

So, when a newspaper prints something POSITIVE about Real Estate, I feel that I should give credit where credit is due.

This weekend The Palm Beach Post featured BallenIsles as it's 'Neighborhood of the Week' and gave readers a look into one of the best Golf / Country Clubs available.

I've written several posts about BallenIsles  -and I've got to say that it is already an extremely desirable community, but as the Post's article points out, the $48.7 million dollar renovation to the Club's Facilities and the East Golf Course will go a long way to keep the community attractive to both current Owners and future Residents.

The work is scheduled to begin in April.

Sales were very consistent over the last 2 years with the local MLS reporting 53 sales in 2006 and 54 in 2007.

(The article shows 64 sales in 2006 and 44 through September of 2007.  Why the skewed #'s in 2006 and the lack of information for 4th quarter of 2007?  I have no idea.)

As of today, there are 88 properties listed for sale ranging from $350,000 to $3,750,000 - with a price range like that, there certainly is something available for just about everyone.
