One of the perks for sellers in Palm Beach’s lost-its-brakes real estate market is this one: Properties that have lingered unsold for many months are finally attracting buyers.
Such was the case this week for a meticulously restored and updated landmarked house at 9 Golfview Road, which had sought a buyer for more than three years.

Howard Martin Sprock III, who has owned other properties in town, paid $8.25 million for the house via a deed recorded Wednesday.
First listed for sale in January 2018, the house overlooks the Everglades Golf Course on a private street immediately south of Worth Avenue. The property has four bedrooms, a grandly scaled living room and 7,050 square feet of living space, inside and out.

It wasn’t the Turkey Trot familiar from past years, but this year’s United Way event still was able to bring Thanksgiving meals to more than 4,300 needy people in Palm Beach County.
Normally a 5K run, this 12th annual edition of the Turkey Trot was held virtually over the Thanksgiving week because of the coronavirus pandemic. Some 696 people registered for the virtual race, which began Nov. 20 and ended Nov. 27. All participants were awarded a T-shirt, finisher medal and goody bag.
The Town of Palm Beach United Way uses the proceeds from Turkey Trot registrations and donations to award grants to local nonprofit agencies that provide take-home meals and socially distanced Thanksgiving celebrations for people who would otherwise go without a holiday dinner.
