Palm City Florida Waterfront Homes

Palm City is part of unincorporated Martin County, Florida.  It was first developed by Charles C. Chillingworth and his Palm Beach County Land Company (at that time it was part of Palm Beach County).  Chillingworth advertised all over America, Canada, and Europe for inexpensive acreage for farmers in the tropical climate as the perfect place to grow pineapples, oranges, and grapefruit.  One of these ads offered a “Free dinner on New Year’s Day for prospective buyers. A 10-acre tract for $50 per acre (to be raised to $60 the next day) with a free town lot in Palm City to every purchaser and 85¢ for a round trip train ticket from West Palm Beach to Stuart.”


Today, Palm City has changed considerably with one of the highest rated school systems in the entire state of Florida.  Numerous new communities abound in Palm City including champion 18 and 36 hole golf course communities, and waterfront communities with easy access to the blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean.  The West Palm Beach International Airport is an easy 45-minute drive away, and two hours takes you to Disney World and Universal Studios. Palm City offers a pristine environment where you can escape the crowds and enjoy the conveniences of home in a small-town atmosphere with first-rate amenities.

Palm City’s waterfront is on both the north and south forks of the Saint Lucie River.  The north fork continues and winds its way through Port Saint Lucie and up through Saint Lucie County to White City in Fort Pierce.  The south fork turns into the Saint Lucie Waterway and then the Okeechobee Waterway with access to Lake Okeechobee and on to the west coast of Florida by Fort Myers and the Gulf of Mexico.

A Lesson For Sellers (From Buyers)

09.19.09 by
If you’ve found the right home, how can you be certain you aren’t paying too much? Once you make your choice, it’s quite likely you’ve also become well informed about property values. How is this so? Because before you made that choice, you probably looked at a variety of homes, possibly as many as six to twelve properties. That’s called “comparison shopping.”
As you visited each home, you made value judgments based on the size, features, and amenities offered, as well as the condition of the homes. Without realizing it, you compared prices, looking for the greatest value for your dollar. Nevertheless, another aspect of your purchase further protects you from purchasing an overpriced home. Called an “appraisal,” it’s a required step in the mortgage approval process. Your mortgage lender, who is putting up the majority share of the purchase price, also wants to be sure the home is not priced above the market.Thus, the lender asks a licensed appraiser to determine the home’s value for the record. If the appraised value does not at least meet the purchase price, the lender may not approve the loan or, at the very least, may ask for a higher down payment.

As the buyer, however, it’s easy to spot the overpriced homes. They are the ones that have been on the market for some time – but remain unsold.

Martin County Real Estate Inventory Declines

07.14.08 by

Martin County Florida’s single family home inventory in June declined for the fifth consecutive month, which is an indication of market improvement.

There are 2409 homes available through the Multiple Listing Service, a decrease of 71 homes from the previous month and 495 since January 2008. The month-to-month inventory declined 20.5 percent since January.

The current inventory reflects a 16-month supply at the current sales pace.

Martin County had 152 single family home sales in June, a 5 percent improvement from the 144 home sales in the month prior, and 12 percent above the 134 homes sold in June 2007.

To date, 754 homes have been sold by Realtors so far this year, a 4.3 percent increase from the 722 sales posted in the same period a year ago.

The median sales price of a home in Martin County in June fell to $234,950, a 3.1 percent increase over May’s $227,500, but 32.5 percent below the June 2007’s $337,000.
Condos sales in Martin County increased 22.2 percent in June, from 35 in June 2007 to 45 last month. Condo median prices fell 30.7 percent from $260,000 in June 2007 to $180,000 for June of 2008.

There are currently 1168 condos available for sale in the MLS as compared to 1281 in June of 2007.

These numbers show signs of positive activity in home and condo sales while showing that we’re not at the end of price declines yet. If inventory levels continue their decline, we should see a leveling of prices when absorption rates reach less than 9 months.
