 La Goulue, located at 288 S County Rd, Palm Beach,  which opened in October, is the sister restaurant of the New York City  La Goulue eatery. Restaurateur Jean Denoyer points out that La Goulue is a restaurant both in New York and Palm Beach, but the origins are from France.

The housing experts say the market is “normalizing.” But what does that mean for the Palm Beaches? Will home prices in Palm Beach County and rents finally come down? Will more homes go up for sale? And what does the year ahead have in store for the real estate market?

“The nation’s housing market, after a wild surge that sent home prices up over 30 percent in some cities in 2021, will be less intense next year”, according to Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors (NAR).

The NAR 2022 housing forecast anticipates the market will continue slowing down from the frenzy seen in the spring when prices shot up to new heights. However, prices will stay high, inventory will remain tight, and mortgage rates will rise. Other…
