There are some positive signs in Saturnia but the average home price in Saturnia fell slightly to just under $630,000 for the year 2017, down from $636,000 in 2016 and $638,000 in 2015 and 2014. On the bright side only one house sold for less than $500,000 and just barely at $493K. The lowest price in 2016 was all the way down to $455K with two others under $500K. See our 2016 Saturnia summary. Pressure from new homes in developments like The Bridges and Seven Bridges has increased supply in this segment, keeping home prices from rising for larger single family homes. The Boca Falls 2017 average was also down a little.
Other positive signs include no REO or short sale transactions, and a higher volume with 33 homes sold in 2017, up from 23 in 2016. Some listings failed with eight canceled and ten expired. Also on the negative side, the average price fell in dollars per square foot. In 2016 it was up to $188 per square foot, but in 2017 it dropped to $174 per square foot, well below the 2015 number.

Stonebridge Homes Sold 2017

10666 Stonebridge Blvd sold for $410,000 in March.

Stonebridge Country Club is a golf course community of 398 homes on the west side of US-441 north of Clint Moore. 23 homes sold in 2017 with prices ranging from just over $100,000 up to $495,000. The average price for 2017 was $311,500, a substantial drop from the 2016 average of $351,000. Communities with mandatory golf membership often face a challenging market for home prices and that doesn’t appear to be getting easier.
The average price in dollars per square foot was just over $100, well below the $180 or more that we typically see in West Boca gated communities. Ten of the transactions were for less than $100 per square foot and only two were over $130/sq.ft. The average home took just under four months to sell.

10264 Spyglass Way was the lowest price and really an outlier at $102,500 for a 2600 square foot house with 3 bedrooms. It appears to have been a desperate sale by the estate of a deceased owner, likely after bringing in some Deceased estate rubbish removals to help clean the place out. All other homes sold for $180K or higher including two “REO” homes for just under $200K.
On the bright side five homes sold for over $400,000 including two at $495,000. 10499 Stonebridge Blvd sold for $495K with 5 bedrooms and 5 1/2 baths in nearly 4000 square feet. The smaller 10241 Shireoaks Lane also sold for $495K with 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths in 3400 square feet. The top price in 2016 was only $482,500 so there’s some hope for homes at the higher end.
We’re getting an early start on our annual reports so it’s possible there will be one or two more transactions closed by the end of 2017.

Boca Greens Homes Sold 2017

The average sold home stayed on the market for more than three months, which hints that the market may be softening. Average price per square foot was $195 and the average sale price was nearly $420,000, both up from the 2016 numbers for Boca Greens.
Back Nine Drive had the most transactions – 10 of them – including the two lowest prices at $255K (mentioned above) and $260K for a 1400 square foot 3 bedroom coming out of a foreclosure. The top price on Back Nine Drive was $460,000 for a 3-bedroom with 2300 square feet with renovations in the kitchen and bathrooms and a brand new roof.
The highest prices were on Canoebrook Circle. Out of the nine transactions, six were for over $440K including the $650K monster, which took two listings and nearly ten months to sell.

Please this report is from a week before the end of the year, so there may be one or two more deals we missed.
