Palm Beach County Real Estate Prices GROW in Beginning of 2023!

Eric Gunther Florida

 

The results are in and Palm Beach County real estate values have GROWN in January 2023 versus January of 2022! Single family home prices are up 4.9%.  Townhouses and Condominiums are up 5.1%.  Data from Beaches board of Realtors shows this grow and is great news for homeowners, sellers, and buyers confirming stability and comfort in our local Florida real estate. 

 

Palm Beach County, Florida is currently experiencing a significant growth in real estate prices. According to recent data, the median home value in the county has increased, making it one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in the state.

 

There are many reasons for this growth, one of which is the state's overall attractiveness as a place to live and work. Florida has long been a popular destination for retirees and snowbirds looking for warm weather and sunny skies. However, the state has also become a hot spot for young professionals and families seeking a lower cost of living and better quality of life.  A strong school system with A ratings has also helped families make the choice to live the Florida lifestyle for entire families. 

 

One of the main reasons real estate prices in Palm Beach County are continuing to rise is due to its strong job market. Remote work has become a reality and unlike ever before people have the opportunity to work and live in Florida.  As technology applicable to business advances, the choice to live in Florida is likely to continue.  Local employment opportunities in the area have been increasing steadily, creating more demand for housing and pushing up home values. The county’s infrastructure and growing number of businesses also make it an attractive option for those looking to move or invest in a property.

 

The state's low taxes and lack of a state income tax are also attractive to buyers, particularly those coming from high-tax states like New York and California. With more and more businesses embracing remote work and the ability to work from anywhere, Florida's appeal as a tax-friendly and affordable place to live is only expected to increase.

 

Furthermore, Palm Beach County is one of the most desirable places for lifestyle due to its warm climate and easy access to beaches, boating, fishing, shopping, and entertainment. Florida in general has a lot of value to offer for the dollar.  Weekdays and evenings can often feel like weekends as social hubs like Palm Beach Island and Delray Beach are busy with shopping and dining every day and night of the week.  It makes sense that warm weather, luxury living, and work life balance are reflected in our property values.  

 

However, the growth in real estate prices has not been without its challenges. The rise in home values has made it more difficult for first-time buyers and lower-income families to enter the market, creating concerns about affordability.

 

Florida home prices are showing to be solid in comparison than the national average because of the county’s desirable location and many attractions.  Analysts predict Palm Beach County and Florida in general to hold value and are likely inch forward year over year due to our unique value proposition a top place in the world to live!

Eric Gunther

 

Greenfield Waters is different!  The support we deliver to our Realtors is unparalleled in offering for the growing Agent to the most successful Agents in the industry.  

 

The vast majority of other firms hire hundreds of Realtors and it’ss very notable that 90% often only sell 1 or even 0 properties in a year (which is failure).  The top 10% make a great living and the top 5% earn a tremendous amount of money in real estate.  Greenfield Waters focuses on curating an ideal team of potential or proven top producers with valuable planning and tremendous support.  

 

Our goal at Greenfield Waters is to advise Realtors with personalized planning at all levels of success for growth.   Training, Coaching, and Mentorship are a big difference in our firm.  We work towards our plans diligently creating an easy, reliable, and repeatable business for our Realtors. 

 

Greenfield Waters and our Agent success plan is based on “The Foundation”.  Training relates to transactional knowledge and support.  Even the most seasoned Realtor needs some deal work advice occasionally and we are right here to directly help.  Coaching relates to business planning.  Real estate is a business of helping Sellers and Buyers with their homes and actual life changes.  Before you find an opportunity to help others, we recognize that real estate is indeed a Marketing and Advertising based industry.  Coaching your Marketing into the most attractive properties, price points and turnover of dollars through data science and analytics is key to success.  Coaching your Marketing into physical and digital Advertising is putting your Marketing message into play in the real world.  The widest topic area is Mentorship.  Our industry is full of very expensive Mentorship programs where this is free and individualized at Greenfield Waters.  We believe this is the ideal real estate brokerage model and our Firm has a mission statement to only grow within the ability to support everyone at Greenfield Waters.  Even Fortune 500 company executives have Mentors as we can and should never stop learning how to grow through Mentorship.  

 

Together we will intelligently plan your path to success.  Growing from your first few deals a year into the top 5%-10% in the industry or if you are already a top producer there is always a plan to make more money and also have more work life balance when structured properly.  

 

Top producers may have interest in growing into Team Leaders as we recognize internal growth to be the very best way to open up leadership opportunity for those that successfully demonstrate our processes.  Greenfield Waters has a very different and special program for our Team Leaders where the Firm compensates Leaders and Realtors/Agents on your Team retain their full commissions.  This corporate design helps everyone grow and retention is ideal as your Team operates feeling incredible about the support system.

 

Commission here is very strong for a well branded upmarket real estate brokerage.  Our brand investment is always geared towards the upper middle market and also with an additional focus on properties in excess of one million dollars.

Locals have mostly enthusiasm for West Boynton Beach Middle School.  Students could come from nearby communities such as Canyon Lakes, Canyon Isles, Canyon Springs, Canyon Trails, Greystone, Cobblestone and Verona Lakes.

These Are the Best Schools in Palm Beach County!

Eric Gunther Realtor These are the Best Schools in Palm Beach County

 

These Are the Best Schools in Palm Beach County! 

 

Top rated schools are a common search criteria when buying a home in Palm Beach County.  The Florida Department of Education rates each of our schools annually with a grade system from “A” being the best to “F” being the lower scoring.

 

At Greenfield Waters Florida Realty we find that several areas have a concentration of “A” rated schools.  This quick guide will highlight areas and schools that consistently have years of “A” rating and reliable streaks of quality in their history.

 

Schools zones in Florida can be very different.  They often fit together like puzzle pieces and unlike other states the zones are not just related to the specific town where the school is located as they may border other towns that attend as well.  There are often Magnet Programs and Charter Schools as well that are very valuable.

 

Note that this list is a quick view of commonly desired schools.  They have good streaks of “A” ratings and there are certainly great schools that have “B” ratings from time to time.  There are many great schools that we just could not fit into this short list.  A full list of all schools can be found at these following links:

Florida Real Estate: Why It’s a Safe Investment

Eric Gunther

 

Eric Gunther Realtor and Broker of Greenfield Waters Florida Realty in Palm Beach County joins us today. It's no secret that the real estate market is on the rise across the United States. In fact, prices have been increasing at a steady rate for years now. But when it comes to finding a safe investment, Florida real estate offers a very unique value proposition.

 

There are a lot of factors to consider when making an real estate purchase or investment, and one of the most important is financial safety. Many people are hesitant to invest in real estate because they’re worried about potential risks. However, when you invest in Florida real estate, data has shown your money is safe. In this blog post, we will discuss the reasons why Florida is a safer investment than the rest of the country.

 

Analysis of economic markets will aways be a topic of opinions.  However, we can look at many factors in relation to the United States and world economies to gain some predictions.  Analysts find that our real estate in Florida has been a home to not only residents but investors for decades and investment is likely to accelerate under current world financial conditions.  

 

The dollar in America is arguably designed to depreciate to encourage institutions and individuals to invest rather than save money in a bank account.  This slow loss of dollar buying power requires more dollars to purchase the same goods and services.  Inflation is a big news topic these days along with ways to try and keep the pace even.  Often these tools are through the Federal Reserve and adjusting interest rates.  We did have some low rates over the last few years and the increases still have us in a range that is considered very affordable compared to historical rates.  The more dollars are needed to buy the same thing, the more dollars should be needed to buy the same property.

 

Other countries experience the same inflation though conditions similar to the United States.  These currencies are compared to each other for their pricing and value.  Right now even with inflation across the world our dollars is actually outperforming currencies that we typically always are trailing behind.  The Euro and the British pound are great examples which are falling behind in pace to the United States Dollar.  This is a big deal to recognize. 

 

There are massive amounts of people living abroad that want to avoid losing value in their money and assets.  They often look to America for a safe haven for investments.  One of categories foreign investors are allowed to hold under our laws is real estate which is a classic buy and hold position to protect against inflation!

 

Florida has seen an influx of new residents as remote work has become very normalized.  Living in a tropical environment is naturally desirable so we have seen our property values adjust upwards to realize our true worth in Florida.  This is not something that will slow down but increasingly become normal to work remotely opening the doors of Florida living to an incredible number of new residents.  New residents to Palm Beach County were traditionally from New York and New Jersey which is common here but now we are also seeing the rest of the country making their way here with considerable ambition.

 

Foreign buyers looking to move to Florida or simply invest their money into a more stable economy than their own find a lot of comfort and of course enjoyment in owning a Florida home or property.  We believe that this trend will grow over the next few months and increasingly for years to come.  Foreign buyers and investors are likely to grow quickly and considerably.  

 

Eric Gunther Realtor and Broker of Greenfield Waters Florida Realty feels that the natural influx of buyers from across our own country will not slow down.  He also is observing the data and receiving an increasing amount of phone calls and showings to help foreign buyers and investors.  This is a big upside as Eric Gunther finds Florida to be at the top of their list and specifically Palm Beach County.

 

Palm Beach County in particular has seen consistent price growth in recent years, and Greenfield Waters Florida Realty is one of the leading agencies in the area. We know what makes a sound investment, and we're confident that Palm Beach County offers some of the best opportunities in the country right now.

 

Gunther also reminds us that current home owners actually qualified for financing so they truly can afford the homes purchased over the last year or two.  He found that even middle to upper middle market properties were bought with cash which was not as common in the past.  Properties in excess of one million dollars are growing and another area where cash is increasingly common.  He want’s us to know that the money is chasing Florida and it’s unlikely to stop nationally or internationally.  Florida is indeed unique from the rest of the country for our weather and quality of life.  Comparing our state to the entire nation is of course neglecting the value we have so understand that big news is not focusing on our Florida value offering. 

 

Eric Gunther thinks that the middle market and upper middle market will likely stay within the range of our new normal pricing.  Properties in excess of one million dollars will grow and the most luxurious markets will still have very high ends when we consider international demand and their financial reasons to invest in Florida real estate.  We may slow from the bidding wars and paying far above appraised values and that’s actually good!  Sellers need to find comfort that as their property goes under contract that it’s reasonable to expect to find their next home without extreme challenges.  Right now we have an excellent balance between sell and buy. 

 

If you're looking to purchase a home or an investment property to place your money, look no further than Florida real estate. Palm Beach County in particular is a great place to buy property, thanks to its growing economy and stable housing market created over the last several years by financially approved and cash buyers. Whether you're looking for a family home with the best schools, a vacation home, or an investment property, Greenfield Waters Florida Realty can help you find the perfect piece of Florida real estate.

 

Please feel free to follow our website by creating an account and you will receive reports with market conditions!  This is completely free!  We will be updating the blog regularly and coming with more specific data and statistics as we track Florida real estate performance!

The hotel was later demolished and replaced by The Breakers, which is still in operation today. 

 

In 1926, the Palm Beach Inlet was created, which connected the island to the mainland. This made Palm Beach Island a more desirable destination, as it was now easier to access. 

 

Since then, Palm Beach Island has been known as a playground for the rich and famous.

 

Palm Beach Island Landmarks

 

Palm Beach Island is home to many famous landmarks, such as The Breakers, Worth Avenue, Via Mizner, Via Parigi, Paramount Theatre Building, and the Flagler Museum. Palm Beach Island is also home to Bethesda-by-the-Sea, which is the oldest operating church in Palm Beach County. 

 

Palm Beach County Country Clubs

 

Palm Beach Island is home to some of the most exclusive and prestigious country clubs in the world. The Island is a very exclusive community, and it is not easy to get into the country clubs or buy a home on the island. However, if you are lucky enough to live on Palm Beach Island, you will likely be invited and have some access to some of the best amenities in Palm Beach County through your social networks. 

 

The Palm Beach Country Club, Everglades Club, Palm Beach Yacht Club, Mar-a-Lago, The Beach Club Palm Beach, and Bath & Tennis Club Palm Beach are some of the most exclusive private clubs on Palm Beach Island.

Many notable billionaires are Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Michael Bloomberg. However, many billionaires are from business and industry and not necessarily household names. 

 

Palm Beach Island Real Estate

 

My name is Eric Gunther, Realtor and Broker of Greenfield Waters Florida Realty on Worth Avenue on Palm Beach Island. This area is truly a special place, and I am lucky to have the opportunity to sell real estate on the island. When it comes to Palm Beach Island real estate, you will find that there is a limited amount of property which adds to the exclusivity. If you have the opportunity to consider having a property on Palm Beach Island, you will not be disappointed! We have a variety of properties that span from cottage style beach homes palatial estates which are all typically from several million dollars, tens of millions for estates, and compounds that have broken records over one hundred million dollars. There are very few condominiums on Palm Beach Island which typically carry a traditional Florida charm and indeed they also cost several million dollars for a unit. Palm Beach Island is truly a special place and there is no other place like it in the world! 

 

Everyone has different reasons they would like to own property on Palm Beach Island. Some find that holding property here is a reasonable way to preserve wealth. Others visit occasionally, seasonally, or live here full time. The only answer to "why" is simply what is right for you and your interests.
