Our brisk pace continued this week with buyers stepping up to the plate and writing offers, and we also started to see some making it to closing. Overall a very good week, with three closings, two more contracts, only three new listings, and six price changes. Even our inventory returned ...

The only thing hotter than the weather here this week has been real estate as we have another record-breaking week for sales activity (record breaking for the nearly 2 years I’ve been writing this blog, that is), with two closings and seven new contracts. We also have fifteen new properties ...

A quiet week at Barrier Dunes with the only action being gulf front unit #172 at 138 Sabal Circle coming back on the market after being under contract subject to contingencies which apparently didn’t work out. I wasn’t involved in this transaction so I’m not sure what the contingencies were ...

Hot! Hot! Hot! I’m talking about both the weather and our real estate market this week. The trend of the past couple weeks continues with lots of buyer interest returning. Our inventory is starting to reflect that as well, ending the week down ten from last week, with 401 active ...

I’ve gotten so much positive feedback on the “Whats’s For Sale at Barrier Dunes” post I did recently I’ve decided to make it a regular feature. Each Friday I will update the following graphic to give you a glimpse of what’s available where and for how much. Right now there ...

Saw this on the WMBB Twitter feed tonight and thought it important enough to share in case you missed the mention I tweeted several days ago. Could save you big $$ if you have cars/boats/trailers registered in Florida. 06/10/09 – 04:14 PM Allyson Walker – WMBB You will soon be ...

Wow! What a week. The buyers are definitely back and while they may be making low offers, at least they’re offering something, and a lot of them are turning into contracts. We had our best week yet in the nearly two years I’ve been writing this blog, with four closings ...

Summer arrived right on time after a rain-soaked and windy Memorial Day weekend. The weather ever since has been sunny and hot and happily so is local real estate. No change in our inventory of active MLS listings in the Cape San Blas, Indian Pass and C-30 Corridor market since ...

The question I’m hearing from nearly everyone I come in contact with lately is, “Well, is anything selling?” and I tell them absolutely, things are picking up again noticeably, as evidenced by the fact that this is the second week in a row we’ve had four new contracts. In other ...

Good News! The MLS Links Gremlin is gone. Turns out it was an Internet Explorer 8 issue so I uninstalled IE8, and everything’s working much better, including my computer in general. My good deed for the week is to caution you against installing this system nightmare on your computer. Stick ...

Unfortunately, the MLS links gremlin is back – the work-around solution I had figured out last week is no longer working. I think it may be an Internet Explorer 8 issue. I apologize for the inconvenience; it will let me email links but not post them online. Go figure. I ...

This I hated to see. Gracie O’Malley’s, a restaurant in Simmons Bayou open less than a year, showed up in the MLS for sale after posting a closed sign on the marquee earlier in the week. This place has unbelievable views overlooking the bay from its more than 300 square ...
