This summer has been unprecedented as it relates to Palm Beach Luxury Sales…According to the Palm Beach Daily News, an article written by Darryl Hoffheinz on August 9, 20119, Palm Beach high-end real estate sales are OFF THE CHARTS!
“Sales often close in Palm Beach during June and July, as house-hunters seal deals after shopping during the season. But this July amped up the stakes. Compare the $347 million in single-family sales that closed in July to the same month of the previous three years: July 2018 saw 14 single-family transactions in Palm Beach totaling $109.36 million, according to courthouse records. In July 2017, that number was $81.49 million for 16 homes. And July 2016 saw a total of $64 million generated by 10 single-family sales.
Analysts have to go back more than a year to find a month in which the official sales total even comes close to the one recorded last month. That would be April 2018 — at the height of the spring selling season — when documented transactions in town totaled about $249.4 million, with 25 single-family sales totaling $194 million and 41 condos adding another $55.4 million.
The sales lull of last season had caught many Palm Beach agents and brokers off guard. They were stunned when transactions practically ground to a halt last fall after nine months of go-go action that began when Congress passed the federal tax overhaul in December 2017. The tax changes gave a substantial boost to business and industry while benefiting affluent Americans, thanks to changes to the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax.
The changes also capped the federal deduction for property, state and local taxes at $10,000. That sent a wave of affluent residents in high-tax states — including New York, New Jersey and California — to shop for a primary residence in Florida and, in particular, Palm Beach, according to independent island broker Linda Olsson of Linda R. Olsson Inc. Echoing other brokers, Olsson said people have come to regard Florida as a tax haven, thanks to its favorable homesteading rules, its lack of a state income tax, its relatively low sales tax and its limited tax on intangible property.
“For wealth preservation, people certainly see Palm Beach as an option,” Olsson said.
Some have speculated that July’s sales may have been sparked, in part, by this year’s April 15 tax deadline, which marked the first time the tax-law changes were reflected on returns.
In addition to tax advantages, Olsson added, the island continues to offer home buyers its traditional attractions — security, beauty, fine architecture and favorable weather, especially during the winter months.” Read the entire story here: https://www.palmbeachdailynews.com/news/20190809/exclusive-palm-beach-homes-july-real-estate-deals-set-record-at-374-million
