In the the Northern Palm Beach County area where I sell and list real estate, comprised of about 10 golf course developments of which 2 are waterfront and golf, the sales last month shot up to the best level in the last 6 months. I talked to the showing instruction person who worked this past weekend and she gave out 42 showing instrustions to agents Saturday and Sunday just from our Jupiter office. Fellow Realtors that is a great sign of the times. We have offices scattered over the county including Palm Beach and the same news was true of all. It is hard to get any good news from our local news paper the Palm Beach Post as they seem to have another agenda. Most of the Realtors have stopped advertising in this paper and are are using diferent types of on line advertising. It seems to be much more fruitful and not working against us at the same time. Any comments on the subject would be appreciated.
Golf in South Florida is still great in June. I will be playing Greg Normans private club in Hobe Sound, The Medalist, on Saturday. This will be a real treat for me as I want to start including it in my overall real estate marketing plan as they are now interested in building more and different homes their. Greg Norman origialy was not to interested in developing real estate their. It helps me talk about the property to golfers knowing what the course is like.
Hi Perry,
My sentiments exactly on the PB Post. I turned to the internet some time ago. I'm also happy to hear about the activity picking up by IP's count as I specialize in Ibis Golf & Country Club. We are definately seeing more activity in Ibis but also in general in the PB county area. I think once we get some of the short sale inventory cleared out in the county we will be getting back on track faster than most markets.
Good luck with The Medalist, it's a tough track. Take your "A" game!
