Hobe Sound Pending Sales Down 19%   The local real estate market continues to show amazing strength. If one reads the paper or turns on the TV news one would think that the sky is falling. From the front lines of the south Florida real estate market and I am active throughout Palm Beach and Martin Counties I can tell you somebody forgot to tell home buyers in our area. Inventories continue to shrink and finding properties continues to be a challenge. The hottest segments continue to be single family homes under $400,000 and well priced waterfront properties.   Pending sales are the most accurate predictor of what transactions we can reasonably expect to close escrow in the coming 30 to 60 days. Each month we track 5 different municipalities and bring those numbers to you to keep you in ... 12/08/2011

Hobe Sound Home Sales Jump 38% in October Still trying to catch up after a well deserved vacation and a return to a south Florida real estate market that is hot, hot, hot.

Hobe Sound Inventory Levels Down 4%Wow what a little havoc a well planned holiday can play. Working like crazy to ensure I took care of my clients before leaving the country on a little vacation then coming back to a real estate market that is on fire has put me behind on my blogs; way behind. With the Thanksgiving weekend upon us I knew the annual slowdown we experience this weekend would allow me to catch up and for that I am thankful!  Real estate sales throughout the north county area have had a strong showing for most of the year but we have seen some a little softening over the past couple months.

Hobe Sound Pending Sales Increase for 1st Time in 6 Months   The local real estate market continues to chug on down the road towards another season and our northern friends can already be seen around town.

Buyers Looking for a Home Need Inventory Levels to IncreaseReal estate sales throughout the north county area have had a strong showing for most of the year but we have seen some a little softening over the past couple months. In a week or so we will be releasing the final September sales numbers and while it is still a bit too early for accuracy we will probably see those trends continue. Sales in the $1,000,000+ price ranges are showing strength, interest rates remain at record lows, and inventories as we have been reported continue to shrink. Interesting times indeed on the front lines of the Palm Beach County real estate market. Lower inventories and rising sales are a winning combination for upward price movement but that we have not experienced to date. The continued flow of forec... 10/02/2011
