West Palm Beach, Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee and Acreage Resales

Buying a resale home, condo or townhome can net you a larger home in an established neighborhood, often also at a significant savings.

Generally speaking, the older the neighborhood, the more house you can buy for the money. But it's also possible to buy an almost new home for thousands less than a brand new one.

Newer homes in a particular price range are generally smaller, are built on smaller lots and frequently will be taxed higher.

That's why a lot of buyers look for a resale home and often there are real bargains around. The resale home may or may not have the very latest in tiled floors or kitchens, but frequently a resale will have been brought up to date by the owner and some of the older homes are truly beautiful.

A new 1,800 square foot home in Wellington, for example, would cost about $500,000 or more on a relatively small lot. But a resale of the same size might be found for l$275,000 or less. The resale might be only one or 2 years old, and is as good as new. It pays to look around and both new homes and resales.

Homes in Royal Palm Beach tend to cost less than in Wellington. Single-family homes in Royal Palm Beach range in price from the mid-$300s and average in the $400s. 

Homes in The Acreage might cost about the same as in Royal Palm Beach - starting in the $300s and averaging in the $400,000s - but feature 1.10 acre lots or larger. Homes in Loxahatchee will mostly be built on 5 acres, so the cost will be somewhat higher.

Buying a resale home also eliminated the need to wait up to more than a year for a new home to be built.
