Monthly Vivante Review, 1st December, 2024.

There are 28 active listings currently, 17 in Boca and 11 in Bella. There were nine new listings during November, they are  99315 (1,698sf) at $380,000 ($224psf), 9736 (1,485sf) at $395,500 ($266psf), 9534 (1,485sf) at $250,000 ($168psf), 8942 (2,338sf) at $725,000 ($310psf), 8732 (2,338sf) at $619,000 ($265psf), 8845 (2,538sf) at $699,000 ($275psf), 9944 (1,485sf) at $242,000 ($163psf), 9144 (2,338sf) at $699,000 ($298psf) and 9544 (1,485sf) at $329,000 ($222psf). The reason for this increase is seasonal. As often happens, out of state owners decide that, for whatever reason, this is going to be their last visit: so they list at the beginning of the winter season when more visitors are likely to be present. One listing went pending, 9047 (1,803sf) was listed at $360,000 ($200psf) and is slated to close on 20th February, 2025; it is the first listing to be pending since July.

There have been twenty seven price reductions, yet there are still too many listings priced too highly. The high/low of the 28 actives is $336/$163psf; the average is $246psf with a mean of $239psf and as you can see from the Review, Boca’s now historic sales averaged $225psf and Bella’s $254psf; most of those occurred when the market was considerably stronger.

There is no doubt that condominiums are out of favour, but there will be a turn at some stage; ​some of today’s prices are a buyer’s opportunity.
