Take the pulse of the market.  Check out which houses sold this year —the neighborhoods, locations, prices and timeframes from listing to closing. If you’re getting ready to sell your home, get a feel for what you can realistically expect. Then put yourself in my hands and watch me exceed expectations! Read the rest of this entry

A depressed market is always a mixed blessing. It sometimes makes the impossible possible. Take the house I just saw at 138 Cypress Cove, in the Jupiter gated community of Stonebriar. This 1994 contemporary 5-bedoom, 3 ½-bath home is really quite perfect.

Perfectly maintained and immaculate. Perfectly situated on an end lot with all kinds of room for a private pool. Perfectly designed with air, light space…archways, cutouts, vaulted ceilings and lots of nooks. Perfectly accessible to A-rated schools, churches and temples well within walking distance. Perfectly active … with a canal for kayaking and canoeing, a community pool and tennis courts to exercise and socialize. And perfectly placed along winding, tree-lined Maplewood, across from multi-million dollar homes in the Loxahatchee Club. (That alone makes it a standout!).

Yet this particular American dream is now available for only $389,000…with remarkably low HOA dues ($389 a quarter). Sound impossible. I thought so, too. I thought at this price…has to be a catch. But guess what…there isn’t. That house is a dream. Possibly perfect for one of you.

Located within the town of Jupiter, in the heart of Abacoa (the last word in master-planned communities), sits the charming neighborhood of Mallory Creek. Created with Built-Solid construction and Key West Architectural styling,  Mallory Creek is the latest jewel designed by Divosta Homes. It is set among preserves and waterways that complete its tropical feeling. And encompasses a delightful mix of villas, townhomes and single-family homes with front porches and balconies that overlook lushly landscaped, tree-lined streets. With its immediate access to downtown Abacoa amenities and  all that Life in Jupiter entails, Mallory Creek is a neighborhood not to be missed or viewed lightly. The amenities alone built into each home far exceed the norm…and, in fact, include many things other builders consider upgrades! You can get in on pre-construction pricing with builder incentives if you buy now. And if you register through Seacrest Florida Properties, you’ll also get a plasma TV!
