2nd Quarter 2014 LOCAL MARKET UPDATE
Posted by zzz - Lorea Thomson on Tuesday, August 19th, 2014 at 12:05pm.
The Realtors Association of the Palm Beaches releases statistics of all aspects of residential and commercial sales in our area. The organization released the following statement:
“The second quarter of every year is historically the busiest quarter of the entire real estate season; however due to a recovered economy, the second quarter of this year has set a brand new precedent in the single family homes category. Townhomes and condos also had a strong showing, but inventory isn’t high enough to produce record setting closed sales. The high demand to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth is also driving average and median sale prices up for single-family homes as well as townhouses and condos. “
