Home sales, prices resume slide in Palm Beach County, Treasure Coast

Comments 6


The Florida Association of Realtors touts the one glimmer of good news in today’s home sales report, namely that condo sales posted an 11 percent gain from July 2009 to July 2010. Miami Realtors point to the 43 percent spike in condo sales there.

Alas, the numbers don’t look so rosy when compared to the previous month. In Palm Beach County, 791 condos sold in July, up from 679 a year ago, but way down from 1,061 in June.

The Treasure Coast saw 110 condo sales for the month, up from 85 a year ago but off from 162 in June.

Overall, the region’s home sales and prices fell in July, as the housing market continued to feel the effects of a federal tax break and the weakest job market in decades. See the story here.
