Cape San Blas Real Estate Week in Review - Dec. 7-13, 2013

Published on December 14, 2013 by Sherri Dodsworth under Cape San Blas

Old Man Winter served up a quick free sample this week sending us a taste of chilly weather, but try as he might, he couldn’t chill our red-hot real estate market as we closed seven sales and wrote up six new contracts. Sellers offered up eleven new listings and marked down four others. With all that, our inventory inched up a bit, closing the week at 272, up two from last week, with 83 homes and 189 lots listed for sale in the Cape San Blas, Indian Pass, and C-30 Corridor market MLS.  Lots to look at today, so let’s get rolling.

The developer sold the unit in mid-2003 for $207,300, and the sellers bought it in early 2006 for $439,000.
