First Presbyterian Pre-School | Tequesta Florida’s Best Pre-School

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Brad Ball

Let’s face facts… Your a concerned parent of a 2 to 4 year old child. You have probably been nurturing your child everyday since he/she was born and you are having real issues with letting go. I know, I’ve been there. After reveiwing many local preschools in the Jupiter/Tequesta area, I made my decision quickly after visiting First Presbyterian Pre-School in Tequesta. This is my son’s third and final year and I know in my heart that enrolling him there was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The classrooms are small, the teachers/staff are wonderful and the price is amazingly affordable. I have never in my life seen a child so excited about going to school as my son is every morning. As a matter of fact, he gets upset if he is unable to attend. Save time and effort by visiting First Presbyterian Preschool first. As a local realtor and an expert on all things Jupiter/Tequesta, Florida, I highly recommend it.

Should you or someone you know decide to relocate to the Jupiter/Tequesta area; or if you are thinking of selling your home, call Brad Ball at 561-373-8700. I am ready for your next move!

Why Buy A Home In Jupiter’s Abacoa? – Newness and Affordability

Posted on January 26, 2012 by Brad Ball

There is no doubt that Abacoa is one of Jupiter’s hottest selling communities.  With over 300 homes sold in 2011, it begs the question, “What is so attractive about living in Abacoa?”  After thinking hard about this subject, here is what I have concluded…

First, people in general already wanted to be in Jupiter, Florida.  It has warm weather, blue water, great schools, fantastic shopping, great dining and entertainment.  Then in 1997, Abacoa pops onto the scene.  A master-planned community with over 4500 homes built on 2700 acres of prime Jupiter real estate.  The developers of Abacoa added a town center, Roger Dean Stadium (Spring Training for the Cardinals and Marlins), the Abacoa Golf Club, Skate Parks, Tennis Facilities and the highest rated schools in Palm Beach County.  Add to that Abacoa being minutes to some of South Florida’s most beautiful beaches with quick access to I-95 and the Florida Turnpike, you have a recipe for greatness.

Abacoa’s great location and amenity package with new homes at a great price from the low 100′s has been the benchmark for homes sales in Palm Beach County. There are 14 neighborhoods that make up the real estate market in Abacoa ranging in price from the low 100′s to around $1.2 Million.

If you would like to search what homes are available for sale in Abacoa, go to our website at www.frankel-realty.comand click on the Abacoa button.  Should you want to talk to a real person about the features and benefits of owning a home in Abacoa, call Brad Ball, Broker-Associate with Frankel Realty Group at 561-373-8700.

“Tequesta homes are in high demand!” according to Brad Ball, Broker Associate with Frankel Realty Group in Jupiter, Florida.  With over 300 homes that sold in 2011, it’s obvious that people want to live in Tequesta.  But what has spurred such activity in this small town’s housing market?  Ball says that it’s because Tequesta is a quiet, family oriented neighborhood of only 5,000 residents that has homes in all price ranges and most homes that have sold are selling below replacement cost.  

There is a wide variety of locations as well… from waterfront homes with ocean access to homes on the golf course, to condos on the ocean, there is something for everyone in Tequesta.   In addition, you are seconds away from 95, Florida’s Turnpike, shopping, beaches and fine dining.

Record Homes Sold In Tequesta – Tequesta Real Estate Selling Fast

Posted on January 20, 2012 by Brad Ball

The 2011 statistical information for Homes Sold in Tequesta suggests that we have found a bottom in Tequesta’s residential real estate market. Here are the final numbers for 2011:

Homes Sold & Closed  – 267
Avg. Days on Market   – 221
Avg. Sale Price Non-Water – $394,000
Avg. Sale Price Waterfront - $1,298,000
Sale/List Price Ratio – 90.53%

The statistical data from the past 6 years suggests that the Tequesta residential real estate market hit bottom sometime between the 4th quarter of 2009 and the 1st quarter of 2010. Since 2008, Total Sales are up 33%. The Average Sales Price in Tequesta has increased 9% since the 4th quarter of 2010 for waterfront homes and 16% on non-waterfront homes… a significant change. Average Days on Market has decreased 8% since the 4th quarter of 2009 and appears to have leveled over the last 2 years. Although Average Sales Price is now trending upward, Average Sale Price Per Living Area Square Foot has increased just 1% since the 4th quarter of 2010. No one has a crystal ball, but these statistics are positive indicators that home values and general real estate conditions are improving for sellers of residential real estate in Tequesta, Florida.

Price continues to be the catalyst for determining days on market. For homes priced at or below market value, the average days on market is 90 days. For homes priced above current market value, average days on market is nearly 280 days. The question is… how quickly do you want your home to sell?

One other thought… The average age of a home in Tequesta is 30 years and new housing starts are at an all-time low in Northern Palm Beach County. If home prices remain below replacement cost and lending markets remain tight, the small to medium builder is forced to sit on the sidelines and existing re-sale inventory must be absorbed. Buyers looking for new homes will continue to have little to consider, so homeowners with significantly renovated homes in today’s re-sale market will be the first to sell.  See all homes for sale in Tequesta, Florida by searching MLS at www.frankel-realty.com.

For more information on the Tequesta Real Estate market or to list your home for sale, contact Brad Ball, Broker Associate with Frankel Realty Group at 561-373-8700 or email at bball@frankel-realty.com

HOMES SOLD IN 2011 SET RECORD PACE – ABACOA REAL ESTATE ON FIRE

Posted on January 20, 2012 by Brad Ball

I am pleased to report that based on the most recent statistical data on homes for sale in Abacoa. Sales have found a bottom in the Abacoa real estate market. Inventory is unbelievably low. NOW IS THE TIME TO SELL. Demand is high and the real estate market is showing signs of stability.

There were 47 home sales in just the Abacoa communities of Valencia and New Haven. The average days on market were 164. The average sales price for a townhome in New Haven was $195,000 and the average sales price for a single family home was $347,000. That is down from 2006 where the average sales price for a townhome was $334,000 and for a single family home $536,000. In Valencia for 2011, the average sales price for a home was $793,000 compared to 2006 where the average sales price was $1,165,000.

Often sellers list their homes above market value and wonder why their home hasn’t sold, or buyers make low offers and wonder why they cannot negotiate a purchase. Mostly it’s
because both buyers and sellers do not have the time to research true market value. With accurate information, buyers and sellers have an easier time making an informed decision. Price continues to be the catalyst for determining days on the market. For homes priced at or below market value, the average days on market is 90 days. For homes priced above current market value, average days on market is nearly 280 days.

The questions are… How quickly do you want your home to sell? or How quickly do you want to close on your next home?

For more information on homes for sale in Abacoa, New Haven or Valencia feel free to call me, June Mattson, Realtor, Frankel Realty, 561-222-0640. I am an expert in Abacoa Real Estate in Jupiter.

As we enter the new year, Frankel Realty Group has been very busy helping buyers find the right home. The real estate market improved significantly in 2011 and we expect 2012 to be another excellent year. Prices of homes for sale in Palm Beach Gardens and Jupiter have come down significantly from the peak levels of 2008. “We just put a condo in The Landmark under contract and have another home pending in Mirabella,” said, Tom Frankel, the president and broker for the Frankel Realty Group.

The increase in consumer confidence and in the stock market have resulted in an increase in traffic. Certain communities like Abacoa have seen their inventory of homes for sale come down to levels that should ultimately result in price increases,while other communities still are struggling with a large supply of homes for sale.
