Weblog

Hello,

My name is Michelle Gibson and this is my blog. I appreciate you taking a minute to stop by and read my daily entries! Within you will find that I have some interesting thoughts and comments on a variety of subjects, especially real estate! As a Realtor I specialize in the Central Palm Beach area Real Estate, including Wellington, Lake Worth, West Palm Beach, Royal Palm Beach & Boynton Beach. The real estate in these areas have been booming for many years and I am glad to be a part of it. West Palm Beach is a great place to live, work and play, so if you need assistance with purchasing Real Estate in West Palm Beach you stopped at the right place.

Declining Real Estate Market in Palm Beach County

For the past few years property value has been dropping throughout Palm Beach County, some areas faster then others.  Within the past two years "short sales" have taken over the market putting the banks in control.  How long with this downward spiral last?  Is there any hope with the new "hope for homeowners" program?  The program was rolled out October 1st, 2008, but so far a lot of banks haven't been lined up to participate.

West Palm Beach Real Estate in 2007

Will the Palm Beach County Real Estate market keep declining? That seems to be the million dollar question these days. West Palm Beach Real Estate was off to an even slower start then in 2006, but things picked up a little in May and June. However it came to a hault again in July and if it's anything like last years 3rd & 4th quarter the market won't pick back up it will actually slow down (decline even more) Only time will tell what will happen to the West Palm Beach Real Estate market, but in my opinion it's going to be several years before we see a gain instead of a loss.

Palm Beach County Hurricane Season

It's been over a month into the Palm Beach County hurricane season and so far so good. Hopefully this season will fly by without a hitch. The Palm Beach County Real Estate market has been slowing down a little. May and June were very busy months for me, but now we are in the peck of summer and there doesn't seem to be too many buyer's. Property value doesn't seem to be declining too much more, but you never know.

Listings, Listings, Listings

The listings keep coming and only a handful are being shown. There are many listing out there that are "priced right" but are not being shown due to the overflow of inventory. If you own a condo you will probably have the MOST competition, with all the conversions and resale new construction. There is also a lot of single family homes to choose from, but if it's priced right it will be shown. What can condo owners do? Wait or lower the price, but lowering the price will only drive the market down quickly. If need a buying or selling agent specializing in the Central Palm Beach County area contact me today!

West Palm Beach Numbers

Numbers show that the home inventory in the West Palm Beach area is over double than what it was last year at this time. To me it seems like it has tripled, but I guess not. Sellers seem to reducing their prices by the week and now is the time for buyers to get a "good deal" on a home if there is such a thing.
