Prices Rising in Loggers' Run
Home prices have been going up for the past three years in Loggers’ Run. The numbers show similar increases across the board. We looked at single family homes larger and smaller than 2000 square feet, and also at townhouses and villas (in Timberwalk).
For the larger single family homes (excluding foreclosures and short sales), the average price rose to $473K at $178/sq.ft. That’s up from $453K ($171/sq.ft.) in 2015, and $442K in 2014 ($163/sq.ft.), or a 7-9% increase compared to two years earlier.
In 2016 there were 36 transactions in the over 2000 square foot category for as low as $335,000. Several larger homes sold for over $600K. Listings take an average of just over two months to sell.
Smaller single family homes prices also increased. The average rose to $328K in 2016 ($192/sq.ft.) up from $313K in 2015 ($177/sq.ft.) and $311K in 2014 ($175/sq.ft.). That’s a 4% increase in prices and 7% in dollars per square foot from 2015, though 2015 was not up significantly from 2014. Five homes sold for $300K or less, while three homes sold at $375K, the highest for this group. Homes in this group sell a little quicker than the larger ones, averaging over a month.
We also looked at townhomes and villas in Timberwalk, south of Palmetto Park Road and Logger’s Run Middle School. They range from 1200 to 1600 square feet. The average price rose to $217K, up from $210K in 2015 and $192K in 2014 – up 13% in 2 years. Measured in dollars per square foot they rose from $142/sq.ft. in 2014 up to $166/sq.ft. in 2016 – a 17% increase.
The high end hasn’t changed that much in Timberwalk, with the top at or near $250K all three years. It’s the bottom that has changed. In 2014 most homes in the subdivision sold for $200K or less, and as low as $140K. In 2016 only 6 out of 33 homes sold for less than $200K and the lowest was $180K. Average “days on market” was similar to the under 2000 sq.ft. houses at just over a month.
We exclude “REO” and short sale transactions from our analysis because those prices aren’t as meaningful to most of our readers. We did look at the numbers including those and it did not make a big difference.
Teen Skater Arrested in West Boca for Broward Hit and Run?
Update: Broward Sheriff records indicate Holt was arrested for Grand Theft Auto. For now at least there are no charges indicating he caused the fatal accident.
Greg Holt, a globally ranked street skateboarder from Deerfield Beach, was arrested by the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office last night, just a few days after his 18th birthday.
A reader reported:
They arrested […] who is suspected in the hit and run in coconut creek on Saturday night that killed the single dad.
Coral Springs Talk reported that police were searching for a male approximately 18 years of age from that incident. Charlie Ruiz (39) was killed in the accident.
We have reached out to PBSO and Coral Springs police to verify if Holt was arrested because of this incident. And we remind our readers that arrestees are innocent until proven guilty.
Holt is well known in the skating community, with over 10,000 Instagram followers on the well-known platform that is Instagram though the posts are restricted to approved followers. If you’re trying to get 10,000 followers like Grey Holt are then, you may want to look into an instagram manager to oversee your followers and who you’re following to give your account a real boost.
His Facebook profile is full of skating images and videos.
Update – Further comment from reader:
This was Greg Holt and [we were ] there with him … as the cops had surrounded them as they pulled into the store to get a pizza. We where all held for about 3 hours. … it was Gregs 18th bday and he was coming to see […] after being at the coconut creek party when he flipped the car and killed the vehicle that was hit head on. This is such a tragic situation for all involved. He’s a good kid who had a bright future ahead of him and now it will most likely be spent In prison for the next 20 years. I just keep thinking this could’ve been any of us when we were young. Please keep all families involved in your prayers.
We would predict a prison sentence of 10 years with him getting out in roughly 8 years. It also may be difficult for prosecutors to prove Holt was the driver, that the accident was his fault, and that he has criminal culpability for it (as in the Stracar decision). However, leaving the scene of an injury accident may be easier to prove and that is still potential prison time.
