  Valencia Real Estate Market Report for March 2024 shows what happened in each Valencia in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Lake Worth, Florida for that month.We had a busy winter in south Florida.  It was was quiet at first, and then things took off.  Several factors were involved, I believe, which caused buyers to stop in their tracks and then reconsider.We have more inventory than we've seen in a long time.  There has been a lot of talk about insurance and homes needing new roofs.  This is still true and has been happening in Florida the past few years.If a home has a new roof or is in the process of getting a new roof - it takes time to get permits and order roof tiles - the home will likely sell.  Of course, you still have to think about location and what the rest of the house look...

Green Cay Wetlands-Boynton Beach- She’s Ba-a-a-c-k! (Mama Gator??)We’ve been spending a lot of time walking at Delray Beach latelybut that doesn’t mean we have forgotten about Green Cay Wetlands in Boynton Beach. While on a walk this weekend, we went back to the “Gator Hole”in Green Cay.  You may remember that  almost 3 years ago, we came upon a once in a lifetime event…. watching Mama Gator and the birth of about 24 or more little babies. We have continued to watch the area for signs of a nest each year, but there has been nothing.   This gator may mean that there may soon be another nest.    Of course there are other areas where nests are built but none as readily visible as the Gator Hole.     If you are looking for a chance to get up close and personal with our Florida wildlife, tak...
