Oceanfront Real Estate in Delray Beach

Delray Beach.  My hometown.  Delray is a large city, but there is such a huge emphasis on Atlantic Avenue, otherwise known as Downtown Delray, where you know you are in a true beach down.  Atlantic Avenue is the main strip lined with great bars, restaurants and shops.  At night time, the car traffic comes to a crawl, the music is just emanating on the streets from live bands, crowds of people, both trendy and beach town, adorn smiles and drinks, make Delray such a great and interesting place to be.

Delray Beach isn't just a beach town, although I only focus on oceanfront homes for sale in Delray Beach.  Currently there are 11 oceanfront homes for sale in Delray Beach, ranging in price fro $3.875 million to $23,950,000.  Below is a chart with the basic information on the homes currently listed for sale:
Next let's take a look at homes that are currently under contract for sale in Delray:
The pending sales right now aren't so hot in Delray, but if you are interested in having an oceanfront estate near a trendy town as well as close to several other major areas like Mizner Park in Boca Raton, then Delray should definitely be on your radar.  The weak pending sales is not actually a bad thing as our strong "selling" season is typically between January and April.  Once it starts to heat up around the rest of the US and Canada, Florida takes a back seat to places like the Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard.  However, if you still are in Florida, I suggest taking a tranquil car ride along A1A in Delray and then call me so we can look at some, or all, of the 11 homes currently on the market for sale.

On to sales.  Let's see what has sold year to date (last six months):
Two nice sales.  It's interesting to note that the sales price and the list price really aren't too far off.  1717 S Ocean sold for 12% less than asking price and 410 N Ocean sold for 7% less than asking price. 

If you are thinking about buying or selling oceanfront real estate in Florida, please feel free to contact me and we can go from there.
