You could be the last person to buy a home in Mirasol Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens. For about the last 10 years, developer, Taylor Morrison has been building beautiful homes in Mirasol Country Club which is located in the garden city of Palm Beach Gardens just north of West Palm Beach, Florida. While some of the models may have changed since the first home was built in 2000, the quality of the homes and the architectural value has improved. Now, all new homes have hurricane impact glass on all windows and doors eliminating the need to install cumbersome metal shutters in case of a storm. New homes have diagonal tile flooring, frameless glass shower enclosures, stainless steel appliances and many more luxuries now considered standard by Taylor Morrison.

There is something special about playing a round on a course that has challenged some of the best golfers in the world. The feeling is even more special when it’s your home course! The Country Club at Mirasol boasts 36 holes of magnificent, championship golf designed by legendary golf course architects, Arthur Hills and Tom Fazio. In addition, Mirasol holds the distinction of having hosted the PGA Tour’s Honda Classic four times.

Mirasol Country Club is the epitomy of luxury living but it is your last chance to own a new home in this world class community. There are only 3 homes and 2 lots still available in Mirasol Country Club!

And..... as an added Bonus, buyers who close by December 31st get a great deal:

The developer pays the golf membership dues up to $16,500 for the first year and up to $7,000 in HOA fees for the first year.
All this and they are ready to negotiate prices.
Only 1 lake view left. It’s a great Bardini model that has had the kitchen opened to the living area. (This model is the only new home without impct glass)
In a few months there will be no new homes in Mirasol Country Club, only resales. But, don't worry about losing out, there are many great resale deals in Mirasol. For golfers, there is no better place to be this winter than Mirasol Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens.

Negotiate the Deal......Please Counter!!!!

10-04-11

We have a tough job as Realtors but ultimately we are responsible for assisting our clients get the deal done. My pet peeve, other Realtors who don't advise their clients to counter. It's a negotiation, buying real estate is not like walking into the local supermarket and purchasing a can of beans. If a listing agent takes a listing at a certain price and has not advised the Seller that the eventual sold price will be in a range then they are not doing their job properly.

The South Florida market is going through a rough time, properties are lingering on the market, we have the 3rd highest level of foreclosures in the country and in some communities, upwards of 40% of listings are short sales. Getting a qualified buyer willing to negotiate a deal is someone we should appreciate and work with.

I believe that the problem often stems from listing agents taking listings at prices the Seller wants as opposed to a list price that the market can bear. As I keep saying, a property is worth what a qualified Buyer is willing to pay. So many Serllers believe that the recession and real estate market has affected everyone but them, they insist that their granite counters and beautiful wood floors make their house worth 20 - 30% more than their neighbors. Unfortunately, the appraiser won't agree with that sentiment.

I recently had a situation with a buyer who wanted to purchase a condo on the ocean in Boca Raton. What he wanted was a condo / townhome on 2 floors. This type of property is not easy to sell. The area attracts older retired people who do not want to deal with stairs to walk up to the bedrooms. Also, the unit was in desperate need of a complete renovation. Although the floors were marble, they were an unattractive green color, the kitchen and bathrooms were also dated. The Seller purchased in 2005 at the peak of the market, he had been trying to sell for 4 years and had sporadically rented the unit out for less than what his monthly costs were. My client is about 20 years younger than the average resident in the area so did not mind the stairs. He was also willing to renovate completely and offer an all cash deal. Most wealthy buyers here do not want to deal with renovations and contractors.

The average sold price for condos on the ocean here range between 76 - 90% of list price. My Buyer offered initially at the 70% range, we received no counter, he then offered closer to 85% - still no counter. Guess what, a year later, the condo is still on the market, no change in list price. I would think the listing agent should be providing her Seller with better market information so that he can make an informed decision and understand the need to negotiate.

I'm interested to know how others feel about this issue.
