Market Update: Country Club Homes in Boca Raton

Click Here For the Latest Country Club Foreclosure Listings!

You may find this hard to believe, but you can buy Country Club Homes in Boca Raton  for under $250,000! Some are fixer-uppers and handyman specials, but many of these homes are in very good condition. Some of these homes are distressed country club properties including short sales, foreclosures, bank-owned REOs, or estate sales, but many are just being offered by motivated sellers.

The lowest priced country club homes for sale in Boca Raton are smaller than the country club luxury homes that may be neighbors, but many are available with picturesque golf course views and ample living space.

You might be asking "why are some country club homes priced so low?" The answer is that most people searching for a moderately priced home are either not comfortable with or not capable of handling the membership fees, annual dues, and upfront cash required in the country club communities that have mandatory membership. Either way, I offer you the opportunity below to view listings for country club homes in Boca Raton without mandatory membership and in mandatory membership communities.

Membership fees and dues vary depending on the community and choice of membership. Golf memberships are the most costly, but include all the amenities available at the country club. Tennis memberships are less, but usually offer only limited access to golf. Social memberships may offer limited or no access to golf or tennis, but full access to the pool, clubhouse, clubs and social activities, and full dining privileges. Country clubs typically offer fine dining at reasonable prices for members and their guests, with special menus for holidays and events.

Country Clubs in Boca Raton that Require Membership

The lowest home prices on a comparative basis and the best buys in Boca Raton country club homes are in communities that require membership, including Boca Woods Country Club, Bocaire Country Club, Boca West, Boca Grove, Woodfield Country Club, Broken Sound Country Club, Stonebridge Country Club, and St. Andrews Country Club.

All of these clubs require mandatory membership fees, including an initiation fee which is non-refundable, and an equity fee which is partially or fully refundable. Total initial fees start at around $35,000 for Stonebridge Country Club, up to around $125,000 for St. Andrews Country Club. Total annual dues and fees will run from around $10,000 and up, in addition to homeowners association fees. Membership fees cannot be financed, and are required prior to closing.

Market Update: Boca Raton Single Family Homes

I have been working a lot lately with buyers seeking single family homes in Boca Raton. The Boca Raton single family home market has heated up quite a bit over the past few months. The lowest priced homes with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and garage are flying off the market. Bank owned foreclosures in Boca Raton are often getting multiple offers. Even Boca Raton short sales are going under contract quickly. Part of this is due to a currently low inventory level of properly priced homes. It could be a good time to sell for people who need help with a short sale or who need to sell their home in Boca Raton. My listings have been getting offers quickly. If you want the best deals in Boca Raton homes, it's best to move quickly. I've made it easy for you view the MLS listings for the Lowest Priced Boca Raton 3/2 Single Family Homes $250,000 or less and the listings for Lowest Priced 4 Bedroom Boca Raton Single Family Homes $350,000 or less!.

I'm here to help. If you would like me to do some research for you, just drop me a line. If you're thinking about buying, you can search the MLS on your own or ask me to refine and filter the search to get just the results you're looking for. If you're wondering if it's time to sell, you can check your home's value here, get information for sellers, or ask me to do a comparable market analysis for you when you're ready.

Here's a 4 bedroom home in West Boca (Boca Winds) that I just listed at $249,900:

It started getting showings as soon as it was listed on the MLS.
