The number of single-family properties for sale in Palm Beach continues to creep up , hitting 94 early this week in the island’s multiple listing service.
That’s the biggest number seen in several years . The number of listings was mired in the mid-70s for much of last year, and there were even fewer in the two years before that.
Among the listings that have entered the market so far this month are four houses asking between $16 million and $20 million, a category that has generated plenty of interest among buyers over the past few years
Here’s the rundown of the newest listings in that price range, with information gleaned from the sales listings and public records.
Renovated house facing the inlet offers dramatic views
On the north tip of the island, broker Lawrence Moens of Lawrence A. Moens Associates has listed, for $19.95 million, an extensively renovated house built in 1957 at 179 E. Inlet Drive. His sales description says the house as a “direct inlet-front cottage” — and the photos attest to that fact, showing wide views of the inlet, the Port of Palm beach, Peanut Island and the Intracoastal Waterway.
