Six more houses sold in Boca Landings North for prices of $420,000 or higher, mostly with 4-bedrooms and around 2400 square feet.

These are mostly smaller models with some as small as 1100 square feet. On the good news side for homeowners several sold higher with most going for over $300,000 and many over $350K. A particularly odd sale was 9590 Islamorada Terrace. This bank-owned home sold for $410,000 with 4 bedrooms in only 2000 square feet with some minor remodeling. The sale price was $25,000 higher than the list price. It’s a nice cul de sac lot with a lake view but it looks like the buyers overpaid on that one.

Are you thinking about putting your house up for sale? If so, you might want to take a look at some of the resources on the House Buyers of America website.

4 Arrests in 2014 for Ricardo Tincel

tincel-mugs
West Boca youth Ricardo Tincel (18) was arrested Thursday for the fourth time in 2014. This arrest was on grand theft charges. In October he was picked up for another grand theft. These are both felony charges and are generally considered serious. The October case has not been resolved yet and remains open.
There were two other minor arrests this year. In September he was arrested in Broward accused of resisting without violence (often a bogus charge). And back in January he was arrested for marijuana along with some traffic charges.
Tincel’s reported address is in the American Homes neighborhood north of Kimberly and east of 441. We were not able to determine what high school he attended (or attends) but the address is zoned for Olympic Heights.
Mr. Tincel remains in custody at this writing, more than 24 hours after he was first booked.
