Is Boca Raton the laziest place in Florida?All the good people of Palm Beach County know Boca Raton as a regional business center and home to the headquarters of Fortune 500 companies like Office Depot and, until a merger this month, Jarden Corp. But Realtor.com analyzes the data and comes to a different conclusion: Boca Raton is the laziest city in the country. The ranking system was based on such factors as number of restaurants that offer delivery; number of day spas and massage therapy centers; percentage of homes on Realtor.com that advertise a hot tub, sauna or steam room; average hours of sleep; and average work hours per week.  In one word, how would you describe the city or town you live in?

When selling Boca Raton luxury homes properties or others, there is a strategy for negotiating the best purchase price. As a seller, you can expect your home’s asking price to be based on what is happening in the Boca Raton luxury homes market, such as:          What type of real estate market is it at the moment (seller’s, buyer’s, balanced)?          What type of requirements are you, as the seller, demanding?          What type of financing does the buyer have?          What is the true condition of your property? All of these factors come into play when trying to set the right price and negotiate offers that will hold up and not fall through.

If you’ve got new construction in your area, like the Boca Raton luxury homes market does, chances are you are receiving a number of bites from prospective home buyers. At least, you should be when looking at the latest report from the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA).Tallies from the MBA Builder Application Survey show a significant boost in home buyers applying for mortgage applications this past February. The survey examined applications put in for new home purchases, which was up 24 percent from January 2016 and 12 percent from February 2015.

Every house should have at least one carbon monoxide detector. This is particularly important during the winter months when those living in Boca Raton luxury homes may choose to light a fire without realizing the home’s chimney and connector pipe may not be in working order. Even if lighting a fire outdoors, this can be a problem.With over 200 deaths attributed to the odorless, colorless gas (some estimates place it closer to 4,000), it is critically important that home owners be aware that the winter months are when many of these types of accidents occur. Attached garages also can be the source of this killer anytime during the year.Get tips on what to look for, what are the leading causes, and how to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning from happening in your home at the Berkshire Hathaw...

Some of the best Boca Raton luxury homes have always been east of U.S. 1. Residents living in the area have often hoped that more businesses and restaurants would move in close by for convenience’ sake. In recent years, the movement to east Boca Raton has been evident and this trend seems to be catching on like wildfire.By the end of this year, downtown Boca Raton is expected to have two well-known restaurants open their doors, much to the delight of local residents.
