The firm’s release of the 2022 Market Report showcases just a few of the notable real estate trends buyers and sellers should look for in 2023. Let’s take a closer look.

High Demand Leads to Low Inventory

Boca West currently has 82 residential properties for sale, representing an all-time low for the community. Although the transaction volume fell by 28% from the year prior, with 233 homes sold compared to 322 sold in 2021, the sales revenue remained steady at $129,000 as a result of rising prices throughout the community. Now, with only 82 of 3,500 homes on the market, active listings at Boca West are well below the national average. Homes hitting the market are selling quickly. Boca West Realty witnessed the average days on the market drop 66% in 2022, from 141 days to 48 days, with many going under contract in 24 hours or less. Overall, Boca West condominiums recorded a 69% decrease in days on the market year over year, while days on the market for single-family homes decreased by 45%, and townhomes by 61%.

Renovated Homes Raise Real Estate Values

While inventory continues to remain sparse at Boca West, 2022’s total sales volume remained constant due to the increasing quality of the homes available. Prior to the formation of Boca West Realty in 2019, many of the homes sold within Boca West were outdated and required major renovations. With the development of its revolutionary Renovator Program, the community is experiencing higher home values due to the demand for move-in ready residences updated with today’s most sought-after features and design style. Through the program, a list of preferred renovators have purchased older homes and transformed them into modern, maintenance-free enclaves. Last year, Boca West’s average sales price rose to $555,819, representing a 40% increase from 2022. Overall, average prices for condominiums increased year-over-year by 52%, single-family homes by 9%, and townhomes by 52%. Home buyers have appreciated the ability to buy a home without the headaches of managing a renovation, while current residents have benefitted from increased neighborhood comparative values.

While the Renovator Program has driven significant energy to Boca West, the renovated homes in combination with an exceptional private club Membership create a compelling value. For under $400,000, homebuyers have the opportunity to purchase fully renovated residences with new flooring, appliances, windows, and stylish interior design, as well as the Boca West Country Club Membership.
