I can talk about how great Palm Beach real estate is until I'm blue in the face - and I often do.

But it never hurts to have another opinion, so I was thrilled to see what well-known real estate investor and analysist Dr. Danielle Babb had to say last week on Enterpreneur.com -

The article was titled "The Best and Worst Places to Buy a Home" and you can read it HERE.

This is how the article starts out:

"Whether you're looking for an investment property or a place to live, here's a look at the cities you should seek out and avoid in 2008".

And right there in the list of 'The Top Places to Buy' is Palm Beach, Florida - and she says the following:

"Palm Beach, Florida: I'm taking a risk here because this area has been pummeled by foreclosures in 2007.  But there are a lot of Boomers retiring and Palm Beach is looking mighty attractive. If you don't like this high of a risk (which translates to great prices), check out Tampa or Clearwater in the same state"

Did you notice the part about the great prices?  Even if you did, give it another read and make sure it settles in.

Other other top rated areas are:

  • Killeen, Round Rock and Austin, Texas
  • Mission Viejo, California
  • Las Vegas, Nevada.

I can certainly tell you the same things, but I think it's important for my potential Buyers to see this advice coming from someone who is primarily in analysis, not day-to-day sales.

Marc this goes to show that even in areas where they might be experiencing a lot of foreclosures, that they can still be great place to purchase a house.

Is there a better place anywhere, on the face of the globe, to look for investment property?   If so, I can't think of it.

Forbes said TAMPA was a #1 buyers market.  Palm Beach IS a great please too and smart people are buying now at a bargain!

Jack-Work on the enthusiasm a little - LOL!

Katrina- We have to be careful though how we advertise the 'bargains'!  While there ARE great buys - the average media moron (newspapers) has everyone thinking that every house in the state can be bought for 50% of list price.  This couldn't be further from the truth where I work.

Marc,

Your area looks like mine ! lots of great buys! High Foreclosure markets are where the florida home buyers should be looking! Best variety, best value for the money!

Hi Joe-

There really are some great buys here BUT - I need to make it perfectly clear that not every area of Palm Beach County is foreclosure-ville.

I have people coming to me quite frequently with idiotic, low-ball offers for country club property.  Basically they make fools of themselves (and their agents, who should know better) and waste my time.

So, great buys? Yes!

50 cents on a dollar?  Ahhh, no.
