Summer is here and it has been a HOT one. Lots of violent afternoon thunderstorms which are quite exciting to watch if you are safe inside! Along with the hotter weather we get a special treat. Restaurants all over Palm Beach are offering exceptional value with their summer specials. This month we include a few to show some of the amazing possibilities.
Real Estate activity in BallenIsles has not slowed down with a record 10 closings in the last 2 months.. Be sure to check out the
sold and
for sale listings we have included.
Stay cool and have fun!

REAL ESTATE TRENDS
BallenIsles Sales
Sales continue to lag with 38 closing as compared to 63 for the same period of 2015. The good news is that inventory remains exceeding low with just 49 properties for sale but Buyers do struggle to find the right membership and property combination. We remain hopeful that the market will pick up once the uncertainty of the election is over. The rental market for next year for those wishing to enjoy a full golf membership is essentially closed. We continue to get lots of calls for a 2016 seasonal rental and regret to pass on the disappointing news. Let us know if you would consider renting your property for a few winter months, perhaps to travel or to bring in income. We can promise you top rental fees.
