There’s hardly a shortage of luxury condos available all throughout the Palm Beach area, but when it comes to Delray Beach, it doesn’t get much better than the new Seagate Yacht Club Residences, located over at 132 Macfarlane Drive along the Intracoastal Waterway.

Combining a sleek architectural design with a modern take on classic marina living, the Seagate Yacht Club Residences might just be the most sought-after condo development Delray Beach has ever seen.

Of course setting it apart from other luxury condos in Delray Beach is the unique 44-slip marina that acts as the only full-service boating facility in the area. But along with that, condos for sale at Seagate Yacht Club Residences offer sweeping open floor plans with 4,200 square feet of…

A Few Boca Townhouse Communities That Won't Break the Bank

Although lavish oceanfront condos and gorgeous custom-built estates headline the Boca Raton housing market, townhouses and villa-style homes should be a great option to consider for any home buyer looking to downsize or make a move to our wonderful South Florida community.

In most instances, townhomes for sale in Boca Raton live much like a single-family home, only with the added comfort and convenience of being maintenance-free. Multiple levels of living space, anywhere from two to four bedrooms, and even a private garage are just some of the desirable characteristics you can expect from a townhouse or villa-style home in Boca, and that’s really only the beginning. And if you’re also looking for something that won’t break the bank, here’s a quick look…

So, How’s the Market?

If there’s one question our Boca Raton real estate agency gets more frequently than any other in real estate, it’s “so, how’s the market?” Many real estate professionals will simply assure the questioner that it’s great or incredibly busy, but that really is doing the person asking a disservice. In reality, there is truly not a succinct answer. As I touched upon last month, our local area is actually more of a dual market. As is true in most markets, the higher up the price ladder, the more lengthy the time on market will be.

In addition to neighborhood and price, there are several other factors that must be considered to accurately determine market condition. The good news is that real estate cycles are long, slow and predictive, and studying…

Choosing Boca Expert When Selling Your Home or Condo

Thinking about selling your Boca area home or condo? Deciding to sell is a big decision for anyone, regardless of size, location, or any other individual characteristics that relate to your property specifically.

If you’ve never sold a home before, it’s safe to say the entire process can be quite the emotional roller coaster to say the least. Along with prepping your home to put on the market, making sure it’s ready to show, and planning your schedule around private showings and open houses, it’s also a strange feeling knowing that complete strangers will soon be walking through where you live and checking out every nook and cranny to determine if it’s the right place for them to one day call home.

But taking all that aside, one element you do have…

Don't Forget To Stop By the Boca Raton Pumpkin Patch Festival This Weekend

As the old saying goes, just because we’re in South Florida doesn't mean we can’t also enjoy the best of what the fall season has to offer. And there’s no better way to do just that than to swing over to the annual Boca Raton Pumpkin Patch Festival, which is already here and taking place this weekend over at the Mizner Park Amphitheater. 

Much like in years past, the 2017 Boca Raton Pumpkin Patch Festival will feature all sorts of fun games, events, and activities, including a pumpkin patch that allows festival-goers to pick out pumpkins of all shapes and sizes for their own at-home decorating, a full pumpkin decorating tent for the kiddos, and yes—even a pumpkin-themed food court and beer tents with all sorts of autumn-inspired drinks and goodies.
