May Home Sales II: $185K to $750K

In Part Two of reviewing sales in May, we look at houses that sold for less than $800K. This is for homes west of the Turnpike (as far north as Atlantic) with over 2000 square feet of living space. Most of these transactions were west of US-441 and south of Clint Moore. So, let us now review property sales in May.

See Part One – Sales from $800K to $6.4M

Boca Falls: $473K to $721K

While the listing does not indicate short sale or REO, we do think it was some form of distressed sale.

May Home Sales I: $800K to $6.4M

16031 Quiet Vista Circle in Stone Creek Ranch sold for $6.4M. Image and map data by Google.

We reviewed over 80 single family home sales (west of the Turnpike up to Atlantic in Delray) from May 1 into early June, restricted to homes with 3 or more bedrooms and at least 2000 square feet of living space. This is Part One of that review, covering homes selling over $800,000. All these homes were in zip codes 33498, 33496, and 33446, mostly in The Bridges, Seven Bridges, and The Oaks.
Click here for Part Two.
At the high end was 16031 Quiet Vista Circle in Stone Creek Ranch, on the west side of Lyons just north of Seven Bridges. The nearly 14,000 square foot house with 10 bedrooms and 10 1/2 baths sold for $6.4 million. The seller was billionaire Steven A. Cohen. The buyers are Cynthia Williams and her husband Ronald “Ron” Williams, former CEO of Aetna, with an estimated net worth close to $200M.

8700 Surrey Lane sold for $2.8M; image and map data by Google

There was one other transaction for over $2M. 8700 Surrey Lane in Horseshoe Acres (north of Clint Moore, east of Lyons) sold for just over $2.8M with only 5 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths in 6000 square feet.
Nine other homes sold for $1M or more, in The Bridges, Seven Bridges, The Oaks, and Long Lake Estates. Most of these sold for between $215 and $250 per square foot, with two in The Bridges going for closer to $300 per square foot.
The smallest of these was 8510 Hawks Gully Avenue, with 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths in 3350 square feet. It sold for $1.1M ($328/sq.ft.) in just 17 days on the market. The house is on a corner lot with no waterfront and has significant upgrades including a gorgeous pool, but it still seems like a hefty price for what the buyer got. The house was previously purchased for less than $1M in 2015.
The best bargain of the million dollar homes was probably 8646 Lewis River Road, a 5200 sq.ft. 5 bedroom with a partial lake view which sold for just over $1.1M, or $216/sq.ft.
Others sold include:

$1.43M: 18529 Long Lake Drive, Long Lake Estates, 6 bedrooms, 4 1/2 baths, 5800 sq.ft.
$1.35M: 16844 Strasbourg Lane, Seven Bridges, 5 bedrooms, 6 full and two 1/2 baths, 5500 sq.ft.
$1.2M: 17681 Middlebrook Way, The Oaks, 5 bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths, 5500 sq.ft.
$1.14M: 16615 Sagamore Bridge Way, The Bridges, 4 beds, 5 baths, 3900 sq.ft.
$1.08M: 17745 Vecino Way, The Oaks, 5 beds, 4 baths, 4450 sq.ft.
$1.07M: 8518 Hawks Gully Ave, The Bridges, 4 beds, 4 1/2 baths, 4300 sq.ft.
$1.02M: 9488 Eden Roc Ct, Seven Bridges, 5 beds, 6 baths, 4700 sq.ft. (new home)

$800K – $1M
Six homes sold for prices between $800,000 and $1,000,000, including three in The Oaks, one in Mizner Country Club, one in Saturnia, and one in Rio Poco.

16135 Rio Baile sold for $995,000. Image by Google.

16135 Rio Baile in Rio Poco (west side of 441 across from Saturnia Isles) sold for $995K. The house has 6 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths in 4200 square feet on a one-acre lot.
What would seem to be one of the biggest bargains was 17891 Monte Vista Drive in The Oaks. Selling for $880K, the house has 7 bedrooms, 6 full and 2 half baths in 5500 square feet. Those familiar with The Oaks will guess correctly that the house has a Chinese drywall history. Purchased in 2007 for $1.3M, it was foreclosed in 2013 and then sold to an investor for $751K. Considering the cost of capital and other expenses, the investor probably lost money on this deal.
Others selling at $800K or more include:
$860K: 17978 Lake Azure Way, The Oaks, 4 beds, 5 1/2 baths, 4300 sq.ft.
$832K: 17689 Lake Azure Way, The Oaks, 3 beds, 3 full and 2 1/2 baths, 3400 sq.ft.
$800K: 16367 Braeburn Ridge Trail, Mizner Country Club, 4 beds, 3 1/2 baths, 3550 sq.ft.
$800K: 11742 Watercrest Lane, Saturnia, 6 beds, 4 1/2 baths, 4700 sq.ft.
It’s an interesting question comparing older and newer homes and that’s illustrated by two of the above transactions. In Saturnia, 11742 Watercrest Lane was built in 1999 and seems a relative bargain at $800K for a two-story home with 4700 square feet. While it could use updating in a few places the house has some very nice features including a gorgeous kitchen, a downstairs master bedroom suite and a swimming pool. By comparison in Seven Bridges, 9488 Eden Roc Court sold brand new for just over $1.02M, also with 4700 square feet. The Seven Bridges buyer paid an extra $224,000 for a house that is narrower on a smaller lot with no pool, and the master bedroom is on the second floor. Seven Bridges also has substantially higher HOA fees at close to $500/month vs. $320/month in Saturnia.

Which house do you think is a better deal?
Coming in Part Two – Homes from $185K to $750K.

The Oaks: $750K to $2.5M in early 2017

House sales in The Oaks ranged from $750,000 up to $2.5 million in the first part of 2017. The Oaks is a luxury gated community on the north side of Clint Moore between 441 and Lyons Road. HOA fees are over $800/month.
At the “low” end, 17720 Villa Club Way sold for $750K. The house has 3 bedrooms with four full and two half baths in 3400 square feet, making it one of the smallest and cheapest homes in the hood – complete with marble floors and other elegant features.
As for the high end, 17558 Grand Este Way sold for $2,538,000. The ~~house~~ palace has 6 bedrooms, 6 full and 2 half baths in over 7500 square feet. It took roughly 14 months to sell.

The middle, in The Oaks, includes several transactions of $1M or more.

$1M – 17827 Lake Azure Way, 5 bedrooms, 4.2 baths, 4700 square feet
$1.07M – 17609 Middlebrook Way, 6 beds, 6.2 baths, 6650 square feet
$1.075M – 17745 Vecino Way, 5 beds, 4 baths, 4450 square feet (closed in early May)
$1.2M – 17710 Cadena Drive, 7 beds, 4.1 baths, 5500 square feet
$1.225M – 17701 Circle Pond Court, 6 beds, 7.1 baths, 6500 square feet (sold in two months)
$1.4M – 9636 Bridgebrook Drive, 6 beds, 5.1 baths, 5900 square feet (sold in less than 3 months)
$1.67M – 9261 Este Lago Drive, 6 beds, 7.2 baths, 6450 sq.ft.
$1.75M – 9356 Grand Estates Way, 6 beds, 7.2 baths, 6500 sq.ft. (on the market for nearly a year)

Two of the more recent sales were for less than $1M. 17978 Lake Azure Way took about 18 months to sell, closing in early May for $860,000. The 4 bed, 5 1/2 bath house has “only” 4300 square feet.
17911 Monte Vista Drive closed in late April for $960K with 5 beds, 6.2 baths and 5500 square feet.
One other house just missed the $1M mark – 17590 Circle Pond Court sold for $980,000 with 6 beds, 7 1/2 baths in a whopping 6550 square feet.

Saturnia $493K to $800K for Early 2017

Houses in Saturnia sold for as little as $493,000 and as much as $800,000 in the first part of 2017. Saturnia is a gated community at the west end of Yamato Road, near Eagles Landing Middle School, Sunrise Park Elementary, and South County Regional Park.
There have been 15 transactions so far this year so we’ll just focus on the highlights.
Only one house sold for less than $500K – 19107 Skyridge Circle. The two-story has 4 bedrooms and 4 baths in 2800 square feet. It was on the market for over 8 months. We’re not sure why it didn’t sell quicker for more. It has a great lot and significant upgrades. A few factors may have played a role – an out-of-county Realtor, poor quality photos, and the pool deck looked dirty in the photos so maybe it just didn’t present well.

11560 Big Sky Court sold for $510K with 5 bedrooms and 3 baths in 2900 square feet. It has no waterfront and no pool, and the kitchen and bathrooms look a bit dated.
19115 Two River Lane also sold for $510K despite being a much larger home, with 5 beds, 3 baths and 3600 square feet. This one took over 5 months. The lot has a little waterfront but isn’t the best location, and the home may have needed some updating and other TLC.
In a stark difference, the house next door sold for $635K despite having no waterfront. 19107 Two River Lane has 5 beds and 4 baths in just over 4000 square feet. From the photos the house had some upgrades but the bathrooms looked dated.
At the high end, 11742 Watercrest Lane sold for $800K even. This large home has 6 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths in over 4700 square feet on a great lot.
Two other large homes sold for close to $750K. 19101 Stream Side Court sold for $748,000 with 5 beds and 4 baths in 4200 square feet, with a luxurious interior and gorgeous lake views from the backyard and the second floor balcony. Meanwhile 19229 Natures View Court sold for $745K with 5 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths in nearly 4700 square feet.

Boca Greens Real Estate: $255K to $495K in Early 2017

There have been 12 home sales so far in Boca Greens in 2017, with prices ranging from $255,000 up to $495,000. Despite the bottom number, most transactions were $385K or more.
The low end home is an outlier. 19622 Back Nine Drive sold for only $255K. The 2 bedroom, 2 bath home has less than 1200 square feet. That’s over 500 square feet smaller – and $70K cheaper – than the next largest home in this report. It took nearly a year to sell.
Next on the list, and still well below average, is 10191 Camelback Lane selling for $325K. The 1700 square foot home has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths and was on the market for 6 months.
Three other homes sold for just under $400K:

$385K – 10212 Canoe Brook Circle, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2000 square feet

It’s on a pie-shaped cul de sac lot with a fairly large lake view including an angle on sunset skies. This one sat on the market for over 8 months.

The two most expensive homes in this report each took 5 months to sell. At the top is 10339 Canoe Brook Circle at $495,000 with 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths in 2500 square feet. The south-facing backyard includes water and golf course views.
Next at $490K, 10152 Canoe Brook Circle has 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths in nearly 2900 square feet, which just sold on May 1st.

$483K – 10433 Milburn Lane, 4 beds, 3 baths, 2700 square feet (sold in two weeks)
