For high-end buyers considering Florida, Jupiter is rarely the only market on the table. They may also be weighing Palm Beach, Naples, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Hobe Sound, or other established coastal communities. Many already know the state well. They have stayed in the hotels, visited friends, played the clubs, taken the boat out, and spent enough time here to understand that every market has its own personality.

The Loxahatchee River runs through nearly every serious conversation about waterfront living in Jupiter and Tequesta. Its central embayment feeds the Jupiter Inlet, its residential forks hold some of the area's most established boating neighborhoods, and its upper reaches remain wild enough that in 1985 the federal government designated a portion of the river as Florida's first national Wild and Scenic River.

For buyers, that combination is unusual. Few places on the southeast coast of Florida let you keep a boat behind the house, reach the Atlantic in minutes, and paddle a canoe beneath centuries-old cypress trees on the same body of water. Understanding how the river is laid out, which parts are protected, and which parts are navigable is one of…

Most buyers who end up in Tequesta didn’t set out to. They came to look in Jupiter, toured a handful of homes, and then drove a little farther north to catch one more showing. Somewhere past the Loxahatchee the lots got bigger and the streets went quiet, and the question changed from which Jupiter house they wanted to whether Jupiter was the right town at all. That is usually where Tequesta comes in.

It is worth being precise about what “crossing the bridge” actually means, though, because the map is not quite as tidy as the phrase suggests.

Where Jupiter Ends and Tequesta Begins

It is tempting to treat the Loxahatchee River as the line between the two, especially since you usually cross a bridge to get from Jupiter’s busier core toward…

The housing experts say the market is “normalizing.” But what does that mean for the Palm Beaches? Will home prices in Palm Beach County and rents finally come down? Will more homes go up for sale? And what does the year ahead have in store for the real estate market?

“The nation’s housing market, after a wild surge that sent home prices up over 30 percent in some cities in 2021, will be less intense next year”, according to Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

The NAR 2022 housing forecast anticipates the market will continue slowing down from the frenzy seen in the spring when prices shot up to new heights. However, prices will stay high, inventory will remain tight, and mortgage rates will rise. Other…
