            <title>Palm Beach County Real Estate and Oceanfront Condos</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Palm Beach County shares the reputation of being one of the most beautiful and tranquil areas in Florida. Located on the southeastern section of the state, Palm Beach County borders the Atlantic Ocean. The beautiful sandy beaches, serene environment, and incredible range of water activities are simply fascinating. And it's just not the nature's bounty and scenic environment; it's also the Palm Beach County real estate that makes the place so interesting and has been synonymous with luxury living for a long time.


The County offers superlative mansions, magnificent oceanfront condos, trendy restaurants and first-class shopping in places like Worth Avenue on Palm Beach. If you are someone who enjoys the splendor of the beaches and crystal clear waters, Palm Beach County real estate might prove to be the perfect haven for you. Not to mention, there is nothing that can beat the spectacular oceanfront condos within this county. Some of the Palm Beach's most luxurious and mesmerizing oceanfront condos can be found in prestigious cities like Jupiter and Boca Raton. Jupiter condos are all within a short few miles to the town's inlet and are close to some of the finest fishing grounds in South Florida. The significant feature of Jupiter is that the town does not have the Ft. Lauderdale canal system where a canal is dug out to make an oceanfront condo. This limits the number of Jupiter oceanfront condos and increases their value. It must be mentioned that as Jupiter is characterized with both, wide water views and Intracoastal properties, Jupiter oceanfront condos offer better views and are more desirable in comparison to the traditional oceanfront homes. Boca Raton oceanfront condos are also popular and provide an array of amenities that can be expected in a town of glamour and luxury.


Due to strict building conditions in the city, all the Boca Raton oceanfront condos are mid rise buildings with an average height of seven to ten stories. Nonetheless, most of these condominiums are boutique-style and offer residents large living spaces combined with incredible ocean views. No matter what your budget or taste, Palm Beach County real estate and its oceanfront condos will satisfy even the most discerning buyer looking to buy into the life of luxury and glamour that South Florida real estate has to offer.

            <title>What's Hot In Real Estate Right Now</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
I hear it everyday...everyday. "Lisa, I want the most bang for my buck." Everyone wants to "get a deal." But guess what? Practically everything on the market right now is a "deal." Compared to where the prices were back in the hay day of real estate, in that crazy, mixed up, unrealistic time period, where there were multiple offers on houses sold for way above the listing price, and everyone and anyone could buy, it's all a deal. It's a deal because prices are where they should have been, making more sense and are predicted to get even better. But whats hot right now is what's been hot for the last couple of years, short sales and REO's, or bank owned properties. Yes, I know a lot of people are shying away from short sales, and trust me, they are not my favorite to deal with either, because of the amount of time they can take, but if you want to get a great deal...patience is a virtue! You can get a house 50% off if you are ready to go through the process and wait....wait....wait. What people forget is to get that great deal, you have to put in the offer...because if you don't, someone else will, even if they have to wait.


So, as we get started on this New Year of 2012, remember, now is the time to buy. Prices are great, and the future is looking good. If you want the deals, they are out there, start looking and find the deal! Call me, Lisa Hayes, for all of your South Florida Real Estate needs.

            <title>Is a Boca Raton Short Sale Right for Me?</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Buyers and investors are finding great bargains on Boca Raton short sales in most neighborhoods and price ranges. A short sale is a pre-foreclosure that has not gone through the formal Florida foreclosure process yet. Right now, a foreclosure is taking up to two years from the time it is processed. A short sale can be bought before the lender takes possession of the property with the seller’s lender’s permission. Since the owner is still in possession of the property, short sales tend to be in better condition that REO properties. While there is never a guarantee that the seller’s lender will accept a short sale offer, understanding how the process works and working with a local Boca Raton Realtor increases your chances of successfully securing a short sale property. When you purchase a short sale you are helping the seller avoid a foreclosure, helping the lender save money because they do not have to hire an attorney to conduct the foreclosure process and you are getting a property at or below market value with built in equity.


Value of Working with a Boca Raton Realtor


A Boca Raton Real Estate Agent understands the short sale process. They work with lenders all the time on short sales. The agent can guide you through the process, help you write an offer that has a better chance of being accepted and work with you during the escrow period through closing by keeping you up to date on the process. The agent can also refer to you vendors such as home inspectors, contractors, mortgage brokers and movers.


Boca Raton Short Sale Advantages


If you have cash, you have an advantage because the lender and the seller want to know that you can close quickly. A short sale can take up to six months or longer to get a response and close so you need to be patient and committed to purchasing the property. If you are not in a hurry, then a short sale is a good alternative to purchasing a REO property. There is less competition with other buyers when you purchase short sale because many buyers are unable to wait for the lender’s response and need to move into a home right away. You can conduct an inspection and obtain title insurance. Many properties are in move in condition or just need minor cosmetic repairs. Investors recognize the value of purchasing a short sale because they know they are getting discounted property that will yield them a high rate of return on their money.

            <title>Sugar Sand Park in Boca Raton</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Sugar Sand Park


I spoke to a potential buyer from California the other day, she wanted to move her young family to Boca Raton. She was told by her friends that Boca Raton was full of retirees and there were very few young families. It's amazing that peoples perceptions are still that Florida is primarily a place to retire. This couldn't be further from the truth, and a perfect example, is the amazing park system in Boca Raton. There are in excess of 20 parks in Boca Raton and they boast a dizzying array of family activities.


My favorite is Sugar Sand Park, located on 132 lush acres in the heart of Boca. The park has a tri-level science playground, a gymnasium that hosts several sports tournaments and special events throughout the year. There is a children's science explorium, 155 seat theatre for plays and live entertainment. There are baseball fields, batting cages and an outdoor roller hockey rink. My kids love Sugar Sand because that's where they play in there basketball and baseball leagues, my youngest loves the open fields and carousel. Boca Raton is getting younger by the year and there are plenty of great family communities to choose from. If you would like more information on the park system or family communities to live in Boca Raton or the surrounding areas then please contact me today.

            <title>The Bridges Real Estate is coming to Boca Raton / Delray Beach in 2012</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
The Bridges - Coming to Boca Raton 2012


 


Brand new development called “The Bridges” is coming to the Boca Raton area the beginning of 2012. The developer has already broken ground and plans to build 656 homes on over 300 acres with houses starting at $500,000 to over $2 million. The community will have an impressive amenity package that will include a weekend bistro, indoor sports complex, tennis courts with pro shop, party pavilion, fitness studio and water play area.


The homes will range in size form 2500 – 7000 square feet and will boast many upgrades including granite counter tops, marble flooring and much more that will be announced. Just down the street they will be breaking ground on a brand new Publix anchored shopping center that will make shopping very convenient. The property is in an excellent location next to the upscale Mizner Country Club and Stone Creek Ranch, and just minutes from the Boca Towncenter Mall and tons of fine restaurants. Some people would question starting such a big project at these price points in this economic climate. The reality is that the Boca Raton market is so desirable that it is not as affected by economic factors as other parts of the state and country. There are buyers in this market that aren’t looking for distressed properties, they want something new and don’t want to deal with all of the headaches.


Please contact me for updates on The Bridges and other new developments in the Boca Raton area.
