delray beach fl: Valencia Real Estate Market Report: March 2024 - 04/15/24 10:34 AM
 
 
Valencia Real Estate Market Report for March 2024 shows what happened in each Valencia in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Lake Worth, Florida for that month.
We had a busy winter in south Florida.  It was was quiet at first, and then things took off.  Several factors were involved, I believe, which caused buyers to stop in their tracks and then reconsider.
We have more inventory than we've seen in a long time.  There has been a lot of talk about insurance and homes needing new roofs.  This is still true and has been happening in Florida the past few years.

delray beach fl: Caring for a Senior Pet - 03/02/22 03:14 PM
Caring for a senior pet is a lot of work, but it's also a gift.  Some might not agree, but we owe it to them for all the love and companionship they've given us throughout the years. 
Corrie came to us 5 years ago after Buttons passed.  A beautiful retired show girl, she was 8.5 years old.  We thought it would be good for Gracie, who was 11 at the time. 
Everyone was depressed.  Corrie saved us.  She really did.  And now it's our time to give back for as long as it lasts.
Corrie and Gracie bonded, but not like they had been … (7 comments)

Dog Friendly Gated Community Boca Raton | Newport Bay Club
 
Hi there.  We're Fiona and Toby and we're from New York.  Our mom and dad decided they would like to spend some time in Boca Raton, so naturally we come along.  You didn't think they were going without us, did you?
 
At first, mom and dad were thinking about a pet-friendly condo in Boca Raton.  They googled and found a pet-friendly REALTOR®. 
 
 
They all got along well, so we started to look into condos at the beach.  The thing is, the buildings had a lot of rules about where we could walk and … (8 comments)

delray beach fl: Buyer's Market in South Florida 2019 - 01/17/19 04:04 AM
It is a Buyer's Market in South Florida in 2019
 
The tables have finally turned.  It is now a buyer's market in Boca Raton and south Florida.  For the past several years, sellers were calling the shots.  Homes received multiple offers. Sellers stood their ground.  Many sellers have not realized the market has turned or come to terms with this yet, as it happened quite recently over the past few months.
 
But it did happen.  We are now in a Buyer's market, not only in Boca Raton but Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Highland Beach, as well.  In fact, all of south Florida has … (11 comments)

delray beach fl: He sold homes he did not even own - why you need a buyers agent? - 04/13/18 06:19 PM
Please take a moment to read this outstanding post by Nick & Trudy Vandekar, 610-203-4543  about why you need to hire a buyer's agent for a real estate transaction.  It is vitally important!  They tell an unbelievable story of what happened where they live in Pennsylvania.
 
Although we are in south Florida, it makes no difference.  It costs a buyer nothing to hire a buyer's agent - it's FREE.  What have you got to lose?  The listing agent works for the seller.  The name on the sign works for the seller.  The builder's salespeople work for the seller.  They are nice, but they … (5 comments)

delray beach fl: Soooo....You Want to Downsize to a Condo.... - 04/06/18 02:52 AM
Are you thinking of downsizing to a condo or just buying a condo in general?  There are things you must be aware of before you purchase a condo. 
 Sally K. & David L. Hanson, while not in Florida, did an outstanding job of explaing this.  In addition,  in Florida, buyers have a 3 day right of recission on resales once the condo docs, by laws and all financials, etc have been provided.  On new construction, it is 15 days. 
Condo living can be great, but buyers need to understand what is involved.  If you have a question, ask!
