Hopes are high to see a new normal for Palm Beach soon. The only part I like is getting the groceries delivered to our doorstep! We want to see our vibrant stores, restaurants, clubs, recreational facilities, parks, cultural centers and welcoming beaches full of friends. Looking forward to our bustling town back at work with every business up and running with full support from our residents.
This year, the end of April will not mark the end of Season. Many residents and tenants have decided to extend their stay in Palm Beach, and we can’t blame them. Palm Beach is one of the places that has straightened the COVID-19 curve on new deaths; offering an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and stay healthy and happy in great tropical temperatures.
1st quarter residential sales for homes located between the inlet to Sloan’s Curve were very strong:
-
Total number of homes sold was up 30% – 100% from last year
-
Sold Volume was up 19% – 153%
-
The highest sale was almost $40M and the lowest was $1.8M.
