Jupiter Home Report

   Welcome to our Newsletter

It has been a month since my last Jupiter Report and we continue to see home sales remain strong with 57 properties selling this week. Our local market report was just released by the board of realtors today and we have some interesting facts.

First qtr sales of single family homes and condos are down 5% from last year but the median prices are up 22% from last year. The median price of a home in Palm Beach County is up from $235,000 to $286,825 this year. This is still a far cry from peak 2006 which had that number at just over $400,000. Several communities are reaching 2005/2006 prices but there are still many other areas in Palm Beach County that are dragging these…

Jupiter Oceanfront Condos for Sale

The oceanfront condo market continues to improve as inventory levels are down to nearly the point where many condos don't have any units for sale. Direct oceanfront condos are scarce. We are seeing side views, back views but that direct view is almost non existent to find and the price will be approaching the million mark and higher for newer buildings.

In Juno the least expensive direct ocean is $750,000 and this is an 80's building that needs updating. Ocean Royale direct units are starting at 1.6 milion and last year they were just over a million.  Entry level ocean condos are now pushing $350,000 for low end condos with ok ocean views  if you can find one.

My biggest challenge is finding properties period. I am…

Jupiter Real Estate

Hello Friends & Neighbors

Season is coming to a close but I am expecting the season for home buying to continue several months past the normal timeframe of April for several reasons. The blistering winter in the Northeast slowed home sales both in the Northeast and here.  Flights were constantly cancelled and delayed with many buyers coming here to relax more than shop for homes as their vacations were shortened.  Season overall for local businesses were the best they have seen in years. All good signs for Jupiter and the real estate market. 

I received the market update for Palm Beach County this week and the numbers were quite surprising. The median home prices are up 15% from last year at $272,000 with days on market…

Jupiter Yacht Club Condos for sale

Jupiter Yacht Club has just 5 active listings with 6 condos under contract awaiting closing. Four of the five are listed at over 1 million and the highest asking price is $1,969,000. Of the 8 sales over the last year 5 have been over a million. I went back to 2006 to see what the average condo sold for in the Yacht Club. I picked a Penthouse non corner unit which sold for $1,225,000. With today’s selling prices you can see we are rapidly approaching the peak we reached at the high market times. In fact in a few corner units we are seeing prices at the peak 2006 prices.  They just sold a Penthouse Jupiter Yacht Club corner for the same sales price as 2006. How will future prices be affected in the next few years? We…

Jupiter Oceanfront Condos 

I did some data collection on sales in Jupiter Ocean Grande and you will be quite surprised of the results. There are just 5 condos active in the JOG and 4 of the 5 are 3rd and 4th floor condos. Lower floors are always much more difficult to sell. We saw two sales break the million dollar mark in the past 6 months with one just shy of $1.1 million.  One of the condos sold at nearly the same price as it did it 2007 when prices weren’t far below the bubble market. The highest sales in here were just over $1.2 million at the peak in 2005/2006. We are rapidly approaching those prices again. The difference is they are not investors buying the properties but homeowners so we should not see a collapse as we did in 2006. The other key…

Jupiter Home Sales Report

   Welcome to our Newsletter

It has been several weeks since my last Jupiter Report and I am continually amazed at the listing prices of many new homes and condos coming to market. Some of the listing prices have me looking twice at times. In this weeks sales a waterfront home that was bought last year at $855,000 sold for $1.35 million. The owner did some painting, put some wood floors in and spruced up the house to sell.  Even lower end properties such as Riverwalk sold for $153,000. It  has sold twice in the past three years. Started as a foreclosure for $53,000.

You keep hearing me harp on inventory but a few communities here along the beach have no inventory or very little.  Ocean Walk has almost 200 homes, 2…

Season is fast approaching as we watch the car carriers unload car after car of the out of state plates. Just before Thanksgiving we see the snowbirds arrive here in Jupiter and get ready for their winter stay. Soon the out of state plates seem to outnumber the Florida tags or it at least seems so. They come down and get themselves situated and then head North for the holidays with their families.Once the holidays are over they waste no time in getting back to sunny South Florida and warm temperatures. It sure beats starring out the window at overcast grey skies and snow on the ground. Much easier to shovel the sand here than the snow up North. Ask any 5 year old. Funnier too.

Jupiter Ocean condos

Season is just around the corner here in Jupiter Florida. With inventory levels at an all-time low finding properties for buyers can be difficult at times. Many condo communities have no homes for sale or just a few. As new condos come to market we are seeing increasing asking prices from 10% to 20% above recent sales. Sellers are now realizing with high buyer demand and low inventory they can control a better part of the deal. It is switched from a buyers market to a sellers market rather quickly and caught many by surprise. With prices in some communities still 30 to 50% below the peak of 2005/ 2006 we are still seeing value in Jupiter real estate.
