LUXURY & MID-PRICED PROPERTIES ATTRACTING INTERNATIONAL BUYERS TO 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.

Enjoy Boynton Beach....

Boynton Beach has the good fortune of being the city on the Atlantic coast that is closest to the bountiful Gulf Stream: A fisherman's paradise! One can be deep-sea fishing just a short boat ride from the Boynton Inlet. Five miles of coral reef offshore with 60-foot visibility await the deep-sea diving enthusiast. The new downtown area will offer a yachting marina, outdoor performance square and exhibit of kinetic art sculptures. Promenade Park, a natural preserve, will provide scenic walking and jogging trails bordering the ICW and Pedestrian Promenade, and interconnecting walkway, and will link the city's 40-acre Mangrove Nature Walk and RiverWalk with the marina and performance square.

Boynton Beach's Oceanfront Park was rated best overall beach in Palm Beach County in 2001. Boynton's Intracoastal 10-acre Park is one of the newest in Palm Beach County. Gracing the entrance to the park is a Veteran’s Memorial with a grassed plaza and sitting wall overlooking a sparkling lake with a lighted floating fountain. Catch sight of many facets of nature in and around the park including at the southeast corner where existing mangrove and coastal planting areas have been preserved.

Boynton Beach is located just a few miles from the bountiful Atlantic Gulf Stream and is serviced by two local marinas. With Lake Osborne to the north, Lake Ida to the south and countless canals criss-crossing in between, Boynton Beach is a freshwater angler's paradise! Find some shade to sit under, cast out the worm and it won't be long before you'll see that plastic float slip under the water!

Water is not your thing? Golf courses abound, ranging from private to semi-private to public. There are many parks with oceanfront and intracoastal beaches that feature swimming, picnic areas, barbeques, water skiing, jetty, marina with boat slips, children's play areas, ball fields, jogging trails, racquetball, tennis, volleyball, bocce, and horseshoes.

The Boynton Beach Municipal Park features ocean swimming, BBQ and picnic areas, snack bar and rest rooms. A Boardwalk winds through natural mangrove preserve and features an observation deck.

Many new, large gated communities are sprouting up on the landscape. The concerns of the city of Boynton Beach span all ages. There is presently a brand-new $37.8 million high school under construction that will accommodate 2,500 students. There is a special emphasis on health care services for the elderly.

Classes are held at the Boynton Beach Art Center, and the Civic Center features the Gold Coast Chorale and Community Band. Visit the Arthur R. Marshall Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge. JFK Medical Center services the community, and is growing in leaps and bounds.

All varieties of foods are found in local restaurants for your dining pleasure.

The Montreal Expos and The Atlanta Braves can be seen playing baseball at their Spring Training Camps in the area. You can watch The Miami Heat and The West Palm Beach Beachdogs play basketball, or The Florida Panthers and the West Palm Beach Barracudas play hockey.

You can find something for everyone in Boynton Beach!
