Dear Laura,


This month we feature in our We Support section the BallenIsles Charities Foundation, a cause close to our hearts since its inception 14 years ago.. Learn more about this incredible "grass roots" effort BallenIsles residents give to with their time and generosity to benefit the larger community around us. This year fundraising is more important than ever.


And of course, keep up with Real Estate Trends and property news from BallenIsles.

  

Happy Holidays to all,

Laura & Tana

WE SUPPORT

BallenIsles Charities Foundation


Did you know that nearly 173,000 families of Palm Beach County Residents, including over 50,000 children lived below the poverty line and are food insecure?  It is shocking when you think of the affluence that exists right alongside the abundance of local recreational and cultural opportunities, to fine dining, to the ocean-side luxury of the Breakers and Worth avenue. So many local nonprofits organizations outside of our gates help so many in need. 

 

Last Year, Your BallenIsles Charities Foundation with the overwhelming support of you our residents collectively provided $1,348,000 in grants to 59 local non-profit organizations that support financial and in-kind services for Civic, Health & Human Services, Environment and Educational programs. Included were two Impact Grants which are designed to target specific needs of the following organizations, Palm Beach Gardens Fire Rescue & Police Foundation and Feed the Hungry Pantry, all details in our recent Annual Report. 

 

The Foundation’s incredible work continues, This year we have expanded our Community Service opportunities. So far we have completed Special Olympics Gold Event, Back to Basics Gift Wrapping, Habitat for Humanity Paint A House Project, and coming up are, In Jacobs Shoes Repair Shoes for Kids and Shoe Collection, and Feed the Hungry Holiday event to feed so many off those food insecure families. Coming up we have many exciting opportunities so watch your email for sign-ups. 

 

BallenIsles residents have already begun to pitch in financially. Not for any tangible reward for giving, but because the need is great and the Foundation reliably vets grant recipients to ensure that money is spent helping out where the need is greatest. We at Illustrated Properties applaud our friends at BICF and the essential work they do on behalf of us all.

 

Won’t you support them too, by giving until It Feels Good!

REAL ESTATE TRENDS

BallenIsles Sales


Sales are heating up and prices continue to be sky high! It appears we will not have as many sales as 2023, but demand still remains strong. We find Market Time particularly relevant. Price a property right and it is quickly sold. The lack of inventory with10 properties currently for sale, makes turnover challenging. Older residents are moving on and new, young buyers are providing a healthy diverse mix.

It is certainly a good time to reassess your needs and perhaps make a move.
