39 Cents on the Dollar in Mexico Beach
I know we typically only focus on the Cape San Blas area real estate market but this sale on an interior lot in Mexico Beach in this morning’s MLS hot sheet made me choke on my coffee. The property is located in one of the many new subdivisions that mushroomed ...
