To fish is a big part of local outdoor life. Coastal Palm Beach Inlet, Jupiter Inlet – St Lucie Inlet offer plenty of opportunities to fish.

Some of the local fish around Jupiter Florida includes barracuda, blue runners, croakers, dolphin, jack crevalle, pompano, sailfish, snapper, snook, Spanish mackerel, swordfish and wahoo.
Pier Fishing – Available at Jupiter Beach Park on the south side of Jupiter Inlet and at the Juno Beach Pier in Juno Beach.

Sports Fishing – Several tournaments are organized locally from Palm Beach Inlet to Jupiter Inlet, Indian River and St Lucie Inlet.

Profit from Seller’s Market
What’s a Seller’s Market?
A Seller’s Market is a real estate market where there’s Low Supply. The opposite would be a Buyer’s Market when there is High Supply of properties to purchase.
Low Mortgage Rates
For Florida Sellers, who have been Upside-Down and contemplated whether to Upgrade or Downgrade – now is an opportune time!!
WHY do I say this? Well, buyers can afford to buy 10% more home today than in 2014 due to Low Mortgage Rates. The Sellers will get Top Dollar on their current home IF they sell AND be able to purchase a new property for very low interest or cash if they have enough equity, savings or investments.
For Sale by Owner a Good Idea?
For Sale by Owner – Statistics
The average For Sale by Owner obtain 12.6% less price than agent-assisted sales. The most common real estate listing commission is either 5% or 6% either paid to the listing agent or split between the buyer’s agent and the seller’s agent.
If you were to list a home by owner for $500,000 by owner you would according to national statistics receive around $30,000 less if sold by owner than with a licensed real estate agent.
- 9% of sellers go the route of FSBO (For Sale by Owner).
- The median sales price of a FSBO in 2014 was $208,700.
- The median sales price of an agent-assisted sale in 2014 was $235,000.
- The most difficult task for a FSBO seller is to price the home correctly.
- It’s important to price the home to move quickly: the longer the house stays on the market, the more the asking price was reduced.

My Issue with Zillow
Zillow is a popular tool for buyers and sellers searching online to find the value of a particular property. If all homes were built by the same builder and of the same quality that may be the perfect tool. As with any electronic or general comparison tool that is not done ‘by-hand’ I have found that it has issues and shortcomings (but then people do too)…..
What do I mean with that? As a licensed Jupiter Florida real estate agent, I was creating a comparable market analysis (CMA) for a buyer of a single family home in Tequesta, Florida. There were several recent comps in the multiple listing service (MLS). I looked further into the tax records and saw that another property had sold privately. The home that had sold privately appeared to be owned by two individuals who were probably related. Each owner already owned half the home so when one of them bought the other one out the price was recorded as 50% of the home value. That home was then a comparison for future sales on Zillow, via the tax records and other automated systems. I am not for or against Zillow or similar companies in any way. This is simply an observation of what can happen when relying on automated tools and not real people.
Positive Equity vs Upside-Down
Most Flo
rida home owners are back at Positive Equity again after being Upside-Down for 1-7 years between 2008-2014 during the BIG real estate recession. Today, whatever the reason, most Florida real estate buyers pay cash which will reduce the risk of a bubble like we saw in 2008 when most buyers were using too far reaching lines of credit.
What’s Positive Equity?
Positive Equity is when a home owner owes less on their home than it is worth. Negative Equity is when a property owner owes more than it is worth. Other common phrases for Negative Equity are Under Water or Upside-Down.
Upside-Down
Like my image above symbolizes, is a financial state when a property owner owes more than a property is worth in the market place. This was the cause for the 1,000’s of short sales and foreclosures in the past decade.
In 2019, the Florida real estate market is VERY different!! Today, we are in a Buyer-Seller Price Equilibrium – where properties in general exchange for Fair Market Value.
Shortage of Rentals Creates More Buyers
In South Florida in general and North Palm Beach County in particular, the shortage of annual and seasonal rentals creates more buyers. The local real estate market is in a state of “buyer-seller price equilibrium” where the properties are sold and purchased for fair market price agreed by both buyer and seller as a win-win situation without a win-loose or loose-win.
When prospective tenants search for months and months without success due to low supply and high demand of rental listings they are increasingly interested in buying a property. Many buyers are cash buyers but the mortgage rates are also remaining at historical lows. This is a very special time in the real estate cycle where both buyers and sellers can close a deal and both parties feel good about having made the right decision.
