Palm Beach Real Estate and Loans

Alright - here are (finally!) the remainder of the second quarter sales results:

Mirabella At Mirasol:

8 homes SOLD between $348,000 and $645,000.  7 more sales are CONTINGENT or PENDING and 18 more are available for purchase between $289,900 and $895,500.

Old Marsh:

1 home SOLD for $1,370,000 in this extremely desirable community and 1 more is CONTINGENT.  Currently there are 11 homes for sale between $985,000 and $4,995,000.  Old Marsh is smaller then most of the other Palm Beach Gardens Golf / Country Clubs, but that  - coupled with the fact that the total # of homes is capped at around 140 - is why the properties are so much in-demand. Oh, and don't forget it's links-style golf and one of the Nation's top Caddy programs.

Steeplechase:

1 property SOLD for $549,000.  Right now there are 17 available ranging from $659,000 to $2,999,999.  Steeplechase is considerably different from the surrounding communities due to 2 major things. One is that even though it is a gated, luxury community, there is no country club and therefore none of the expenses typically tied to one - hey, not everyone wants a clubhouse!  Also, the lots at Steeplechase average about 1 acre - none of the private communities in the area come even close to that.

San Michele:

1 property SOLD for $832,000 one property is listed as CONTINGENT and there are 16 more for sale from $899,000 to $2,295,000.  San Michele shares one of Steeplechase's advantages in that even though it's a gated, luxury community, there is no country club - so no excessive charges.

To set up showings in any of these communities just call me at 561-282-7406.

One of Palm Beach Gardens top Country Clubs - Mirasol - had some great activity in the second quarter of 2009.

15 luxury homes SOLD ranging from $425,000 to $3,100,000 and there are currently another 12 either CONTINGENT or PENDING.

130 properties are still available between $425,000 and $3,875,000 - to see any of them just call me at 561-282-7406.

Tomorrow we'll take a look at Mirabella.

Starting tomorrow morning I'll be reviewing the second quarter sales numbers for these major Palm Beach Gardens communities:

PGA National

BallenIsles

Mirasol

Mirabella

Old Marsh

Steeplechase

and San Michele.

It's been rather busy (regardless of what the newspapers say!) so I'll be going over what sold in the last 3 months and what's still available.

BTW - as so many people have already found out, if you've found a Palm Beach Gardens home that you really like, then you need to get serious about making an offer.  I run into people all the time that want to wait 'just a bit longer' only to come back to see that someone has already bought 'their' home.  

It doesn't even have to be a long wait - I showed a newer listing last week that was actually under-valued.  In the few hours that the prospective Buyers stalled, someone else bought the house. I hate to say 'I told you so...".

Those who wait, lose.
