Cape San Blas Real Estate Week in Review – Nov. 7-13, 2009
It’s been a week of weather extremes with over 5 inches of rain and high winds from tropical storm Ida on Monday and Tuesday, to travel-poster gorgeous sunshine and blue skies by week’s end. Ida didn’t scare away our buyers, though, and we had a good week with another sale, ...

And the Rains Came . . .
Ida’s winds have receded but the rain is what you’d expect with a tropical system. As of 8 this morning, we’ve had 5 inches so far. I hope I don’t jinx things, but we haven’t had any power or water interruptions yet either, so my coffee’s fresh and hot and ...

Ida Update
So far, despite weather.com graphics, Ida has pretty much been a non-event for us here along the Forgotten Coast. We’ve had a bit of rain during the day, and tonight the wind is picking up, expected to peak around 40 knots by midnight which is no big deal. As I ...

Cape San Blas Week In Review – Oct. 10-16, 2009
Autumn has arrived and the temperature has finally cooled with a forecast high today in the low 70’s. Very nice indeed. Our market also cooled a bit this week with only two sales and one new contract. Sorry to report, though, our inventory continues its slow creep back upward closing ...

Cape San Blas Week In Review – Oct. 3-9, 2009
Did someone say summer is over? You’d never know it around here as the thermometer seems stuck around 90. While some parts of the country will see their first dusting of snow this weekend, we’ll be heading to the beach which is where I think most of our buyers must ...

Cape San Blas Real Estate Market Week in Review – Sept. 19-25, 2009
We welcomed the arrival of autumn this week and look forward to a little cooler weather as it has been another hot, summery week, though thankfully sunny again after all the drenching rains of late. The market hasn’t cooled off yet, either, as we managed to have another three closings ...

Cape San Blas Real Estate Week in Review – Week of July 4-10, 2009
We had a water-logged start to the week with heavy rain all day Monday, Tuesday and the better part of Wednesday, but the rain apparently wasn’t enough to dampen buyers’ appetites for real estate as we managed to have a respectable showing, with one closing and four new contracts. I ...

Cape San Blas Real Estate Week in Review – Week of June 13-19, 2009
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 ...

Cape San Blas Real Estate Market Week in Review – Feb. 7 – 13, 2009
It will be interesting to see the impact on real estate as we transition from a capitalist economy to an economy of central planning controlled entirely by Washington. Let’s see how we did in our final week of operating in a free market. Our inventory continues its slow climb back ...

Cape San Blas Real Estate Market Week in Review – Jan. 10-16, 2009
Another chilly morning here on the Cape, about the same as yesterday, with 37 on the thermometer when I woke up. The weather may be cold, but real estate was pretty hot this week with four closings. Our inventory remains steady with a total of 366 active MLS listings in ...

Cape San Blas Real Estate Market Week in Review – Jan. 3-9, 2009
Wasn’t it good to get back to the normal routine this week and finally have the holidays over and done with? I’m glad to return to focusing my full attention on my real estate business with renewed vigor. The first week of this new year brought us eight new listings ...

Only 400 Feet to the Finish Line
For Capers, 2008 will be remembered as the Year of Beach Restoration, so it’s fitting that the project should be nearing completion as we plan our bonfire-on-the-beach New Year’s Eve parties. I stopped at Stumphole this afternoon on the way home from work and got out and shot a few ...
