Cape San Blas Real Estate Week in Review - Jan. 17-23, 2015

Published on January 24, 2015 by Sherri Dodsworth under Cape San Blas

Your are now entering a Deflate-Gate-Free-Zone where for the time it takes you to peruse this post you will not be subjected once to the apparently critical pressing issue of deflated footballs. NO such deflation here, just a rallying real estate market, in which we had two closings and four new contracts. Sellers added eight new listings, and changed prices on five others.  With all that, our inventory rose just a little, closing the week at 257, with 88 homes and 169 lots listed for sale in the Cape San Blas, Indian Pass, and C-30 Corridor market.

The first of this week’s two sales is a circa 1986 2-bedroom, 2 1/2-bath, 1,120 square-foot unit  in Cape Shoals, a complex adjacent to the north side of Cape Palms Park.   The sellers have owned it since mid-2001 when they purchased it for $190,000 and put it under contract late last month with a list price of $259,900, and sold it on Friday for $205,000, with the buyer paying for the title insurance and $1,000 of the Seller’s closing costs.

We’ll travel down to the south side of the Cape to Jubilation where our second sale is this bank-owned gulf view lot that went under contract two weeks ago with a list price of $60,000. The previous owners bought the diminutive 50′ by 80′ lot in December 2004 for $435,000, and the bank closed it on Tuesday for $54,000.

Bank-Owned Cape San Blas Gulf View Home Under Contract January 2015 with List Price of $232,500

There was a lot of interest in the first of this week’s four new contracts.  This bank-owned 3-b3edroom, 3-bath, circa 1997 gulf view home on Cape San Blas Road near Cape Palms Park went up for auction last Saturday with a list price of $232,500.  The auction ended on Wednesday with the final bid coming in at $381,000, with bids having been allowed in $3,000 increments. Homesearch.com has been doing a number of these auctions around here recently, all of which have been subject to the following terms:

  • A buyer’s premium equal to the greater of 5% of the winning bid amount or $2,500 will be added to all winning bid amounts that will determine the total purchase price
  • Property is being offered “AS IS, WHERE IS”
  • There are no inspection or financing contingencies
  • An Earnest Money Deposit of 3% of total purchase price or $3,000 (whichever is greater) is required
  • Buyer will receive a Special Warranty Deed (SWD) or equivalent.
