,
Mid-January already! The holiday season just flies by in a flurry of festivity, social activities and parties. Time to recover a bit, slow down and enjoy the season.
With so many friends and family coming to visit our corner of paradise, we include an article on one special attraction in our area, the Palm Beach Zoo. You will find a link to many other fabulous Things to Do we have written about over the last 23 years. Hard to believe but Laura started writing this NewsLetter, printing and stuffing envelopes for snail mail, soon after she moved in.
And of course, keep up with Real Estate Trends and property news from BallenIsles with our comprehensive 2018 Year End sales overview.
Have fun you all!

Book a behind-the-scenes animal experience and get up close and personal with a sloth, koalas, capybaras, anteaters, Aldabra tortoises or mingle with flamingos.

American black bear,
Florida panther,

REAL ESTATE TRENDS
BallenIsles Sales - 2018 Summary
Not a banner year but certainly bright! Compare this year's 68 Multiple Listing Service sales with 76 in 2017. Total sales with the inclusion of 6 sales not in the MLS brings the total to 74. The trend is solid even with a decrease in sales this past year. Inventory is extremely low with only 68 properties currently on the market which remains an extremely low number for a community of over 1580 residences. Compare the 2018 average list/sold price $695,500/$634,000 and average cumulative days on the market of 176 to the 2017 average list/sold price $749,009/$802,04 and average market time of 184 days. The market is somewhat depressed but holding fairly steady. The opening of the amazing remodeled BallenIsles Clubhouse should stimulate sales for 2019. It is a good time to reassess your needs and perhaps make a move.
