It’s been a busy week on St. Joseph Bay with plenty of scallopers collecting their bounties and enjoying quality time on the water.  We’ve also seen a few more buyers in our comparative real estate market this week, as the jump in new contracts is a welcome development for our ...

It’s Friday, August 16th, and today marks the official start to the 2024 Scallop Season here in Gulf County.  While vacation rentals have slowed down in recent weeks due to school schedules, our area will see a boost in visitor traffic over the next month or so, especially on the ...

It’s been a hot and steamy week here in the panhandle in the wake of Hurricane Debby missing us on the east side last Monday.  With the exception of more new listings and price reductions, there’s not a whole lot of new activity to report from our local real estate ...

It’s unreal how quickly this year is moving – here we are in the last full week of June, and 2024 will be half-way home after the weekend.  Our next weekly update will include some 6 month statistics for this morphing market which should add some perspective to what we ...
