jupiter homes for sale: How does the US Credit Downgrade Affect Palm Beach County Real Estate? - 08/09/11 03:13 AM
The Standard & Poor's Ratings Agency made an unprecedented downgrade of the United States credit rating from AAA to AA+ Friday evening. This followed what had been an already shaky week for global markets after a drawn out fight over the debt ceiling in Washington and concerns over further European debt defaults. Immediately my mind begins to play out the impact on the local Jupiter real estate market?

I expected the beginning of the week would result in a negative reaction from … (0 comments)

jupiter homes for sale: A Recent Client Testimonial in Jupiter, FL - 07/18/11 02:39 PM
Regarding the recent sale of our home in the Bluffs Community in Jupiter, Florida

From our first meeting, throughout the entire sale process and closing, Joby went over and above the job description. He knows the local market extremely well and came to every meeting well prepared. Ultimately, Joby helped me sell my home on average by $20,000 more than any other realtor thought could … (7 comments)

How are you celebrating Independence Day this year?
Palm Beach county has some great fireworks attractions. Our favorite has always been 4th on Flagler in Downtown West Palm Beach. The City closes off Flagler Drive along the Intracoastal for a great celebration capped off by a tremendous fireworks display. Our little secret is that we head over to the Palm Beach side and walk out onto the Lake Trail. We end up located a couple hundred yards from the fireworks barge and some years it seems as if they are showering right down upon us. Other good viewpoints are from the … (0 comments)

jupiter homes for sale: HOME VALUES: STATISTICS SAY NOT GETTING ANY BETTER, BUT IS THAT ACCURATE? - 11/10/10 07:43 AM
Some recent articles came out this week with new data confirming that most homes almost 50% of the homes in South Florida are "underwater". Underwater homes are defined as homes with mortgage debt that exceeds the current value of the property.
Another interesting statistic is that homes selling for a loss across the country stands at 27% of all sales, but in Florida that number jumps to 48%.
What this boils down to is that we still have a lot of inventory to work through in the way of short sales and foreclosures before we can expect to see homes values … (0 comments)
