You're interested in finding out the value of a particular home in the Palm Beach Gardens area.
Now that the word is spreading that the worst of the housing crisis is over, some homeowners are starting to do some incredibly stupid things.
(BTW, if you're offended by that you should take a very close look at what you are currently doing.)
The BIG question is "Do you REALLY want to sell it, or do you want it to sit on the market for a looooooooong time while the houses around it DO sell"?
Believe it or not, some people are starting to RAISE the prices on their homes! Folks, please, get a grip. If your home has not sold in a reasonable amount of time you should lower the price NOT increase it!
I've seen several owners in the area do this - but what really caught my eye was a listing in one of the local golf / country clubs that had been wallowing on the market for a long time.
All figures will be approximate as to not insult the people who should, well, really be insulted! But keep in mind that I am trying to help here.
This particular home sold in 3/08 for 435,000 and a few months later it was re-listed for more then DOUBLE. This happened when values were still headed down.
What were they thinking?
The price comes down a bit over the next few months and it winds up in the high $700's - still way too high. Can you guess what the next step was? I hope you're sitting down - not only do they raise the price, they take it up to nearly 1 million!
Mind -boggling.
Forget 'what' are they thinking, now the question is: ARE they thinking AT ALL?
OK, today's rant is over. I need some coffee and aspirin.
Contact me if you are serious about selling your home.
Well, it happened again.... Someone approached me in the grocery store yesterday and said that he knew that I was in real estate, but since I 'only handle Buyers and Sellers' could I recommend someone to help him find a rental?!?! I was shocked! I don't know why anyone would make that assumption because I certainly DO work with rentals! So, if your looking for yearly or seasonal: Palm Beach Gardens rentals Jupiter rentals Juno Beach rentals or rentals in the surrounding areas, don't hesitate to give me a call at 561-282-7406. AND if you are going to need a seasonal rental (Dec, Jan, Feb, March) we need to start working on it NOW - last year quite a few people contacted me in November and they were surprised to find out that they were out of luck. Don't wait too long.....
If you've been looking for great deals on new condos, you'd be hard pressed to do better then the units at Midtown at the Gardens located right off of PGA Boulevard.
There are still some units available, but after the most recent price drop they won't be around for long.
You can actually get brand new units with stainless GE appliances, granite countertops and much more starting around $115,000.
These aren't short sales or any kind of crazy deal, they are just a perfect example of real estate that is priced TO SELL!
Call me (561-282-7406) any time to set up a showing while these properties are still available.
Our 'friends' in the mass media keep telling us that nothing is moving... but here are the closed sales from April: 13181 Marsh Landing - Old Marsh 107 Tranquilla - Mirasol 216 Via Emilia - Mirasol 131 Via Paridisio - Mirasol 106 Via Paridisio - Mirasol 127 Remo Place - Mirasol 213 Via Palacio - Mirasol 200 Coconut Key Drive - BallenIsles And 18 sales in PGA National- (I'm not typing all of those out!) So we followed up a very good first quarter with even more activity in Palm Beach Gardens. Luxury real estate IS selling - IF it's priced properly. Call me today to discuss what I can do to get your property sold.

As a Realtor I'd have to say that one of the most aggravating things is having to deal with a Mortgage Broker who is un-reachable; I'm not a mind-reader and my time is too valuable to waste trying to see if a loan is going to close on time or not. I gave Mr Blasi a chance when I became disgusted with the Brokerage I had been using and I was pleasantly surprised when I was always kept up-to-date. He will certainly be hearing from me again.
Marc was willing to help my daughter and myself when we wanted to re-finance my home. I'd gotten sick of talking to Brokers who 'didn't want to be bothered' because the loan amount was rather small - especially for the Palm Beach area. We got the financing we needed, when we needed it - Thank You Marc
