It’s been a fun week around the Forgotten Coast with the annual influx of Plein Air artists out and about capturing our beautiful area on their canvases. Buyers captured some real estate for their portfolios as well, closing three sales and writing up four new contracts. Sellers listed nine properties ...

Never have I reveled in the return of Spring and all the greenery of new leaves and wildflowers it ushers in with it as I have this year. So welcome to finally start seeing some leaves on trees and green grass returning.  Since October it has seemed as if Hurricane ...

Major celebration this week when after nearly seven months of chassis-jarring, jolting passage through Stumphole, one freshly-paved, gloriously smooth lane re-opened and we can once again glide right through there. It’s still one lane so the stop lights remain on either end but it marks most welcome progress none the ...

Way too much going on this week to cover it all by Friday night – I will need to finish this up in the morning with a mid-day to early-afternoon Saturday post.  I apologize for the disruption in the coffee routine for my faithful early Saturday morning readers and will ...

Reminder – If you would like to read this with the links to the various listings, I can only email them to you now with our new MLS which I’ll be glad to do. Just let me know by sending me a request to [email protected] and I’ll set you up ...

  This was an historic week for Cape San Blas and Gulf County as we finally won the first round of a 37-year battle to extricate ourselves from the Coastal Barrier Resource Act, CBRA, designation. On Wednesday afternoon, the president signed legislation passed by the House and Senate removing 40 ...

  Warmer spring-like weather may be slowly returning, but our market is red hot. We closed five sales, wrote up six new contracts, added a whopping twenty-one new listings, and made four price changes.  Our inventory of MLS listings in the Cape San Blas, Indian Pass and C-30 market closed the week at 233, ...
