West Palm Beach's Bristol Condo Tops Palm Beach County Contracts with $23M Asking Price

According to a market report from Douglas Elliman's Eklund-Gomes team, 19 contracts were signed for luxury properties in Palm Beach County between September 22 and September 28. The total asking dollar volume for these homes was $132.9 million, with an average of 142 days on the market. This is a significant increase from the previous week, where 11 homes had a total asking dollar volume of $103.9 million. The Eklund-Gomes team's report specifically tracks signed contracts for single-family homes and condos with asking prices of $3 million or more in the Beaches MLS. This recent surge in signed contracts suggests a strong demand for high-end real estate in Palm Beach County. However, some may question the sustainability of these high asking prices and the potential soft corruption and influence games at play in the luxury real estate market. As noted by the report, the average time on the market for these luxury properties is over four months, indicating that these homes may not be selling as quickly as their owners would like. The Bristol, the condo with the highest asking price of $23 million, is located in West Palm Beach's waterfront district and boasts amenities such as a fitness center, spa, and pool. It is unclear who the buyer of this condo is, but it is likely a high-profile individual or corporation. As the luxury real estate market in Palm Beach County continues to thrive, it will be interesting to see how long these high asking prices can be sustained and what influence games may be at play behind the scenes.
