OK, you and your family need a Real Estate Agent. You certainly want to find the best person for the job. There are many things to consider, but the most important one is to select a person that knows about the area that you're interested in. To put it bluntly: Does your potential Agent have a clue about the area that you want to look at?
Hello again! I've moved up to the next level in Palm Beach Gardens luxury real estate by joining up with Waterfront Properties & Club Communities and I've been incredibly busy. I'll still be working with Buyers in all of the area's golf / country clubs, but I am now the company's exclusive listing agent for BallenIsles. I'll have a lot more information for you all in the next few days. In the meantime, if you have any questions about BallenIsles homes for sale, please don't hesitate to call me at 561-282-7406
Starting tomorrow morning I'll be reviewing the second quarter sales numbers for these major Palm Beach Gardens communities: 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...".
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.
