Welcome to PalmBeachFloridaHomes.net!

This blog will follow the real estate trends of the Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, and Stuart areas and share my ideas on what is happening in the market. I will also be keeping up on local events, restaurants, and what I think makes the Palm Beaches a great place to live.

More signs of improvement..... I had a buyer looking in Delray Beach, and 3 listings she liked all had offers on them within the 2 weeks we were looking. Luckily, she was able to negotiate a contract on her her favorite house! The Caloosa market is also getting busier with people contacting me to show them homes. Summer is a fun filled, relaxing time, but remember that many people want to move before school starts or soon after, so now is the perfect time to list your home.

A great website for Things to do with Children

Hey there, while searching the net for things to do with my young nieces, I stumbled across http://www.grandparents.com/gp/events/westpalmbeach.html. This is a great website that allows you to search for everything you can do with children including, outside activities, sports, animal attractions, museums (when it is too hot for outside fun), evening concerts and events, restaurants, and lots more.

Two of the great things about this site is that you can search by age group, and it has information about many different cities. So, when you are stumped over what to do, and the little ones are "bored", check out this site!

Homebuyer Tax Credit has been extended!

Obama signs extension bills

On July 2, Pres. Obama signed into law HR 5623, the Homebuyers Assistance and Improvement Act of 2010, which extends the homebuyer tax credit closing date to Sept. 30, 2010, for qualified buyers with a purchase contract that was signed by April 30, 2010. He also signed HR 5569, which retroactively reauthorizes the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to enter into new contracts for flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program through Sept. 30, 2010.
