The idyllic village of Wellington, Florida, is known as the world’s winter equestrian capital. However, people who aren’t typically drawn to equestrian activities are delighted to discover that Wellington also has plenty of outstanding golf courses. Wellington, close to so many stellar amenities and boasting a convenient location, sits just west of West Palm Beach and has a luxurious pedigree all its own.

The housing market in Wellington remains strong. According to Zillow.com, the median price of Wellington homes for sale in 2022 is $576,494. That represents an increase of 30.4% from the previous year. While there are many properties at and just above the median, notable properties go for well into seven figures. Wellington real estate includes everything from condos to single-family homes to mansions and estates with their own equestrian facilities and even airplane hangars.

If the thought of living in this paradise intrigues you, the first step is to hire an experienced Wellington real estate agent with a track record of helping clients get into the beautiful homes available throughout the community. A talented agent will help you stay competitive and advise you on writing a winning offer.

Word of mouth is almost always the best way to find an agent, so ask around in your circle of friends, co-workers, and family members who have recently purchased one of these special properties. You can further narrow down candidates by researching them online, where you’ll likely find sales stats and testimonials from happy clients.

Once you’ve hired an agent and found a great home, it’s time to enjoy your new lifestyle and hit the links in Wellington.
