Palmetto Bay Market Update

I have quite a few well-qualified buyers interested in purchasing homes in the Village of Palmetto Bay. The problem we have: a lack of inventory, (meaning active listings). In February of this year, we saw the lowest number of single family homes for sale than in any month over the last year. There were only 77 homes for sale in the Village of Palmetto Bay last month, compared to 111 homes for sale in February of 2012. With 40 homes going under contract last month, it is a great time to sell! Contact me for a complimentary analysis of your home, or to schedule an appointment to discuss purchasing one.

The Holidays at the Deering Estate

The Deering Estate is certainly in the holiday spirit! Join in the festivities! Deering Holiday Wonderland December 1-31, 2012 10:00 am to 5:00 pm  (ticket office closes at 4:00 pm)  Throughout the month of December, visitors to the historic Deering Estate will be enchanted by the holiday decorations that over 15 different garden clubs and organizations have put together. Students, teachers and garden club members used over 900 feet of garland, 600 yards of ribbons, and thousands of ornaments, (all hand-made), to decorate the homes on the Deering Estate. Haven’t experienced the Deering Estate before? The 444 acre estate sits along the edge of Biscayne Bay. These views, even without the holiday decorations, bring joy to every visitor.   Admission […]

Fuddruckers in Palmetto Bay!

Many of you will remember the Fuddruckers that was located on the corner of SW 104 Street, and US 1. For a number of years, that was the staple location for gatherings after little league games, school performances, and sporting events. When the Fuddruckers was converted to Amos Sports Grill, and later Betty’s Best Burgers, customers were heartbroken to learn that the building would finally close its doors permanently in 2011. Not to worry burger fans, the “World’s Greatest Hamburger” is making a comeback! A new Fuddruckers has been in the works in Palmetto Bay for quite some time. Marcello and Berna Montalvan, of Vitafoods Enterprises, are opening three locations in South Florida within the year! Expected to open shortly, specifically […]
