LUXURY & MID-PRICED PROPERTIES ATTRACTING INTERNATIONAL BUYERS IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA

The ten most expensive cities for real estate have only one US city: New York. The other cities are Monaco, Hong Kong, London, Singapore, all outranking New York, and Sydney, Pairs, Moscow and Shanghai, reports Investors Business Daily.

From February 2014 through February 2014, 788 homes were sold in the US for over $10mm, according to Zillow. Over half the sales were in Los Angeles and the New York area. Some of the most expensive transactions were in San Francisco, south Florida, Aspen and Vail.

Savills, the global real estate company in London, reports that the average luxury home in Hong Kong was valued at about $11,000 per sq ft. In London, the average was $5300 per sq ft and in New York $4100 per sq ft.

With strong economic growth in China, the National Association of Realtors states that the Chinese are buying up high-end US properties, attracted by America’s stronger property rights and a relative stable political and economic climate. International buyers have found Florida real estate less expensive than in their own countries, according to 80% of surveyed Florida realtors. While the median price paid by international buyers in Florida was $216,477, it appears that the segment of interest in properties for foreign buyers is very limited.

Channel 12 News reports that in 2013, Florida was visited by 266,000 Chinese tourists. Orlando, Miami and Pinellas County have tourism leaders making pitches to and working with Chinese tourism operators in Beijing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai to start selling vacation packages in China that will showcase the beaches, museums and golf resorts in the county, aiming for Florida home buyers.

PRESTIGIOUS PALM BEACH BILTMORE ON THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY

EMERAUDE, PALM BEACH: GORGEOUS WIDE INTRACOASTAL VIEWS

ABOUT PALM BEACH

Known as one of the world’s most affluent communities, Palm Beach includes stunning mansions, three blocks of glamorous shops on Worth Avenue that draw diplomats, celebrities, foreign royals and the world’s wealthiest people, and a fabulous beach aside the Atlantic Ocean. Spanish Revival buildings house most of the 250 businesses on Worth Avenue, with stucco walls, hewn coral facades, pecky cypress in the ceilings, red barrel-tile roofs and cerise bougainvillea vines dripping over arcaded walkways. In the 1920’s, architect Addison Mizner set the trend which continues today with distinctive Moorish-Mediterranean style architecture.

Palm Beach is home to many famous celebrities with fabulous homes running between the ocean and intracoastal waterway, narrow winding roads alongside the ocean which afford sights of some of the most beautiful and most expensive homes in the world, yet is only three blocks wide and 14 miles long. A barrier island, Palm Beach is connected to the mainland by three bridges. There are public and private schools, many tennis courts and golf courses, and the towns 10,000+ population swells in season to 40,000+. It is also home to 100+ charitable foundations.

The north end is family-oriented, and condominiums can be found on the south side. The Brazilian Court is a condo-hotel with fabulous amenities including Buloud’s restaurant. There are many great eateries in the city, including Ta-boo, Café L’Europa, Bice, Renata’s and others. All the big name designer and jewelry stores are on Worth Avenue, and charming alleyways off Worth have distinctive boutiques and eateries. At the very least, you owe it to yourself to browse and perhaps shop on Worth Avenue, a “street of dreams.”

Looking for a POSH vacation, or even a Spa Day... head for The Breakers, with it's many pools and fabulous beach, one of the most beautiful, impressive hotels in the US. You can live and golf in Breakers West (Marilyn can show you properties there) and become a Breakers Hotel member as well. The best of all possible worlds.
