Now, they need $ 2.6 million just to move on, and even that you are buying a lot. The little boy’s Dreamrra to own a house down there is a lot of caps.

Numbers don’t lie – and they are brutal.

Things are speeding up too. Long -minded Palm Beach had a $ 56% dance in millions of dollars this last December, the largest point since May 2021.
