August 2009

Today marks the second anniversary of Cape San Blas Blog, having uploaded my first post on August 29, 2007. I started getting a feel for doing these weekly updates the following month, and in the first review in September 2007 we had 200 houses and 355 lots for sale in ...

Georgia went back to school and the Cape’s a quieter place this week. No closings, but there were enough people around to write up six new contracts, so all in all, another good week. Our inventory crept back up by 12 to a total of 399 active MLS listings in ...

I tried to get most of the work done on the update today, but ended up showing property until 7 pm and Saturday morning have another appointment to show right at 9 am followed by an afternoon showing which will also looks as if it will go late so we’re ...

What a difference a week makes. This week was as hectic as the last was quiet and we have a lot of territory to cover, with four closings and five new contracts. Now that’s some serious activity! Our inventory is once again moving in the right direction, downward, coming in ...

I’ve decided to do this update monthly rather than weekly so we’ll do it on the first Friday of each month. No sales since our last update on July 3, but there have been a few price changes. Currently there are fifteen townhouses for sale in the MLS, ranging in ...

After a string of weeks with better-than-average activity, things finally came to a halt this week and we had the slowest week in real estate we’ve seen in some time. No closings, only one new contract, a measly two new listings, but an impressive fifteen price changes. Our inventory took ...
