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.

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.

Old Marsh

For those of you that are looking for the absolute best in golf / country club living.

Old Marsh Golf Club is a private, gated 456 acre community limited to only 180 luxury homes and less than 300 Equity Memberships.

While Membership is not required to live in Old Marsh, I can't imagine anyone not wanting to be able to use the phenomenal Pete Dye designed course that runs through the middle of the property.

The 7,021 yard course winds through 456 acres of marsh and was crafted to blend with nature, not to overpower it.  As Mr. Dye says: "...I believe there's a real tempo about the course that tests and measures the players much in the same way they are tested on the old Scottish courses."

Another plus (or 2) - when you want to play, you play - no tee times are required and the Caddie Program is considered to be one of the finest in the South.

Just west of Jog road, Old Marsh is minutes from the best shopping and dining in Palm Beach Gardens as well as being just a short drive from the beach.

Currently there are 14 properties listed for sale from $985,000 to $4,995,000.

I think the Club's literature says it best: "For the fortunate few, Old Marsh offers a special privileged quality of life that is simply unequaled."

To see any of them and get a tour of the 22,000 sq ft Clubhouse call me at 561-282-7406.
