Wonderfully busy weekend – showing LOTS of property today and Sunday morning, so I’ll be posting my weekend update Sunday afternoon. We had a slew of sales this week so be sure to check back. Hope you’re having a great weekend, too!

Another great week here on the Cape with clear skies, clean beaches, happy vacationers and folks shopping for real estate. We had one person go to closing, two new contracts, thirteen new listings, and seven price changes. Our inventory shot up over three per cent, unfortunately, gaining 13 over last ...

Our beaches were busy this morning with crews of turtle patrol volunteers, representatives from NOAA, The Interior Department, National Fish and Wildlife, Florida Fish and Wildlife, news crews from CNN and the AP, FED EX PR guys and curious onlookers. The assembled were all there to either participate in or ...

The watching and waiting continue as we still remain mercifully untouched by the oil. There are small armies of BP contractors patroling the beaches daily even though the nearest oil reported is all the way over on the western edge of Panama City Beach. So our beaches are still beautiful ...

.What a difference a week makes – much quieter this week, with somewhat slower sales activity compared with what we’ve been seeing recently, with only one sale and one new contract, and just four new listings and three price changes. As a result, our inventory is virtually unchanged, up just ...

Tourists may be looking elsewhere for their summer vacations but buyer interest has definitely stayed focused on the Cape with temptingly low prices on quality coastal properties. Only one closing, but we have an impressive six new contracts. We added five new listings to the mix, and four sellers lowered ...

WOW! You might think it was the 4th of July instead of Memorial Day with all the figurative fireworks going on around here. I think we set a sales activity record this week: we had five closings and four new contracts. That’s a lot of real estate changing hands. In ...

I am hearing from a lot of people who are torn over whether they should plan on visiting or cancel their vacations here at the Cape as a result of the oil spill. So far the Forgotten Coast has been blessed and it continues to look as if the spill ...

Somebody flipped the switch from winter to summer this week and it has been hot hot hot. Luckily our real estate market hasn’t cooled off much either, as we had another good week with one closing, two new contracts, eight new listings, and a dozen price changes. Our inventory of ...
