Having lived for a while in Boston and now living in South Florida, I can bring back my days in New England with a visit to Boston's on the Beach in Delray Beach. The fresh seafood and nostalgic New England decor will bring you to the northeast despite the palm trees and beach front location.
The restaurant is located at 40 South Ocean Boulevard in Delray Beach. Stop by, get a drink or a bite to eat and then stroll the beach. Especially those who are seasonal renters and winter residents will enjoy the atmosphere of the true New England feel and the warm breezes off the ocean.
As a Realtor, I am aware of trends in the domestic market, as well as in the
local markets throughout South Florida. If you are thinking of selling or buying
a home, please feel free text me or call me at 561-247-3550.

Case-Shiller Home Price Index: April 2012: Pricing Decling Seems To Be Slowing: Homes For Sale: Homes For Rent
The Case-Shiller Home Price Index seems to be showing a deceleration of year-over-year price declines. The Index shows a year-over-year reduction in pricing of 2.2% in April 2012, which compares with a 2.7% decrease for March. The sequential pricing saw another relatively flat comparison for April 2012, which was in-line with the results for March 2012.
The S&P Chairman commented that April 2012 "finally showed some rising home prices." The South Florida market actually saw prices increase by 3.2% on a year-over-year basis in April 2012 and by 0.9% sequentially.

Case-Shiller Home Price Index: May 2012: National Price declines declerating, South Florida Showing Good Signs: Homes For Sale: Homes For Rent
The Case-Shiller Home Price Index showed an annual price decline of about 1.0% for the US composites in May 2012; this compares with a 2.2% decline for April. On a sequential basis home prices were actually up by 2.2%.
The Chairman of the S&P Index said, "we saw a continuing trend of rising home prices for the spring." In the Chase-Shiller report announcement, the South Florida market was highlighted as showing positive annual rates of change.
I am noticing lower levels of inventory in the South Florida housing market as well as a sustained level of interest. If these trends continue, I would expect to see home prices continue to rise in the South Florida market.

Case Shiller Housing Index: March 2012: US Housing Prices Bottoming Out?: Homes For Sale: Homes For Rent
The Case-Shiller Housing Index showed a year-over-year down comparison in March 2012 of about 2.7% and was down 0.1% sequentially. The composites posted their lowest levels since the housing crisis began in mid-2006, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index.
David Blitzer, the Chairman of the Index Committe at S&P Indices said, "While there has been iprovement in some regions, housing prices have not turned." However, the sequential data trends and declining year-over-year decreases may indicate a leveling off of prices, in my opinion.

Palm Beach County Home Prices Up, Inventory Down: Homes For Sale: Homes For Rent
Historically low interest rates and a reduction of inventory seems to be tempting buyers to move in the Palm Beach County of South Florida.
According to the Sun-Sentinel, there were about 7,000 single-family homes for sale in June 2012, which was about half of the inventory level in June 2011. The low interest rates on mortgages by historic levels and the reduction in inventory seems to be helping to give sellers some price leverage. Existing median home prices in Palm Beach County was $225,000 in June 2012, according to the Realtors Association of the Palm Beaches, which was 7% higher when compared with a year ago.
As I have posted about earlier, homes that are in relatively good condition and priced within the market range, will generally move quickly. I have had a recent situation where I was working with a buyer in an area that had ample inventory. Within a six month period most comparable homes have been purchased and the market for similar homes in the area are scant. My guess is when similar homes do come onto the market in that neighborhood, the interest level will be favorable for the sellers.

Schools Affect Housing Prices, Boca Raton Among The Best Areas: Homes For Sale: Homes For Rent
The Brookings Institute, a nonprofit public policy organization, came out with a study that was referenced in a recent Sun-Sentinel article. The study found in the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas (that included South Florida), housing near high-rated schools costs nearly $11,000 more than homes near low-rated schools.
One of the selling points to Boca Raton in South Florida is the consistently high ratings of the schools. A recent article in the Sun-Sentinel stated Boca Raton has 16 of its 17 schools rated A. In Broward County, schools in Pembroke Pines, Coral Springs and Parkland were mentioned as having desirable homes because of the schools.
The highly-rated public schools allow children to get a great education without having the large expense of a private school.
