HGTV Paradise Bargain Hunters Palm Beach featuring Million Dollar Realtor Carl Gentile

[@creoloko]

They chose the best of them all. And what a great deal! 30k less than the initial offer. That gives room for a flip on the kitchen, nice!

I would rather compromise when purchasing property & settle for a little less and be financially safer to deal with those unexpected surprises along the way. Who would have thought that 6-7 years ago that just food prices would have risen as much (2024)‼️Those that look at the future more realistically have a better chance of avoiding risking it all😊This couple made a GREAT & WISE choice👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼congratulations ❤

Carl I knew when you said Lake Worth that you were going to take them to Parrot Cove because that's where I took my clients who wanted to live near the beach and bike ride to the ocean when they moved from Georgia 6 years ago. God I miss the days of finding homes like that in Lake Clarke Shores or anywhere in South Florida for $360,000

[@ridgecrestvarietyshow7324]

You are seriously right! I haven't been back to Fl in years. Reminds me of old historic Naples on the west coast of Florida and Las Olas Blvd on the east coast. $$$ honey!! All gorgeous little properties in gorgeous areas! Downside to all this beauty? I've seen first hand the destruction of several hurricanes...upon leaving Fl I moved to Manhattan, NY. Im now living in Raleigh, NC. Picture this, 2022 and post pandemic real estate has gone through the roof!! What was 300K one year ago is now upwards 600K!! OMG! Where WILL it end? Im pretty sure bids are already out there for the moon. A developer's dream...lol

Oh I see this comment was made before Ian and Nicole brought the beachfront fantasy crashing down! I am a native Floridian. My family settled in Florida long before the civil war. People used to know better than trying to live right by the beach. It's beyond stupid! Most of the early Florida towns were located a little inland for this very reason.

[@angelaglanville9377]

Great choice. Houses in Lake worth near the beach have doubled in price recently

[@da__lang]

They got a great deal on a nice house. Congratulations.

[@valynteena]

I was moved by the finished 3rd home but I liked the first home better. Great choice

[@Zembassi3962]

The Palm Beach houses would more than likely be featured on these 2 shows: "House Hunters--Million Dollar Homes" and "My Lottery Dream Home" with David Bromstad (of "Color Splash" fame).

[@monas]

About the last house, that's perfect for alligators, they can get a nice meal when the home owners go for a night swim. All the alligators have to do is swim out the canel, climb over the fence/wall and alligators are great at climbing. Then submerge themselves in the pool and wait.

[@GhostRider-hy9zt]

alligators don't hunt down humans

[@monas]

@@GhostRider-hy9zt Ok Then go swim in the everglades 👀

[@GhostRider-hy9zt]

@@monas there’s a difference between an alligator accidentally going in a pool and actively putting yourself in a situation with a lot of alligators. If you swim with a lot of them, maybe one will accidentally bite you thinking you’re a fish or maybe feel scared or threatened. If you’re not trained, it’s dangerous, although I had friends who would swim in alligator infested ponds. There’s people that go diving with gators around all the time. If you need examples, just look up alligator photography underwater.

[@jennyhammond9261]

Ummm, anyone else concerned about the canal and the dark water in the pool (I know they probably made it dark on purpose)? How are you going to see if a gator has wiggled its way in there???

[@maxinef6654]

Agreed. As soon as he said there was a canal in the back, I immediately thought of gators 🐊.

[@sandyfox9947]

Wow .. any of these would be my idea of dream living!!! Great homes.

[@LibbyRal]

Homes under 1000 sq ft. in my Florida hood, which is a step above Da Hood, are running 1/3 of a million dollars these days. The second they come up for sale, they sell. Most are flips, snapped up by corporations, with the identical cheap laminate floors and grey or greenish glass tile, everything's white. Tear downs are going for close to $200K. It's criminal.

[@krisg3984]

I think they knew $350,000 wasn’t enough: but being in the show gave them a Realtor that would show them dazzling places. They get to act along for the show

[@hewitc]

On Palm Beach Island $350,000 is the price of the average car on Worth Avenue All Bentley, Rolls and Ferraris.

[@hewitc]

Is it generational or the product of watching too many of these programs? First time home buyers seem to demand their "dream house". It used to be you got a "starter house" that you could afford (with some stretching"). Any "dream house" was something you bought if your income went up or your starter house appreciated. You didn't buy a dream house in your 20's unless you had rich parents.
