Cape San Blas Real Estate Week in Review – Feb. 16-22, 2019
  We locals were all happy this week to have the roadway through Simmons Bayou re-open so we could say good-bye to the dreaded detour through Country Club Road, and the road repairs along Constitution Ave./Hwy. 98 being completed so the irritating temporary stoplights in Port St. Joe that have ...

Cape San Blas Real Estate Week in Review – Feb. 9-15, 2019
   Our road to recovery this week manifested itself literally in our roads being recovered, with major impressive shoring up underway through not just Stumphole, but also along 98 through Simmons Bayou, with the detour route along Country Club Road receiving reinforcements to its shoulders, and repairs to 98 along ...

Cape San Blas Real Estate Week in Review – Feb. 2-8, 2019

Cape San Blas Real Estate Week in Review – January 12-18, 2019
Every week we make a bit more progress towards returning back to something that resembles normal, and this week the big step forward was the reopening of the state park, T.H. Stone Memorial Park, which has been closed since the storm and giving birth to two break away islands. (Tampa ...

Cape San Blas Real Estate Week in Review – Jan. 5-11, 2019
Everything takes longer after Michael. Everything. For example, I held an Open House this week and of the Realtors who came through, over half are still displaced. These independent contractors are working full time living out of suitcases, juggling appointments with clients, prospects, insurance adjusters, contractors, bankers, roofers and myriad ...
