Good News! The MLS Links Gremlin is gone. Turns out it was an Internet Explorer 8 issue so I uninstalled IE8, and everything’s working much better, including my computer in general. My good deed for the week is to caution you against installing this system nightmare on your computer. Stick ...

Unfortunately, the MLS links gremlin is back – the work-around solution I had figured out last week is no longer working. I think it may be an Internet Explorer 8 issue. I apologize for the inconvenience; it will let me email links but not post them online. Go figure. I ...

Local real estate is moving again as shoppers return; I showed more property in April than I have in the previous six months. Although our inventory remains basically unchanged at 410 (158 homes and 252 lots), up only one from last week, we had two sales and two new contracts, ...

My goal is to try and have this weekly review posted by noon each Saturday but it doesn’t always work out that way. I have a great excuse today, though, for checking in late as I have been showing property which is always a good thing. Interest is definitely picking ...

Lots of activity around the Cape this week as spring arrives and with it kids on break from school. Average activity in real estate, with bargain hunters continuing to roam the area sniffing for killer deals. We ended up this week with one sale, one new contract, ten new listings, ...

Another wild week in the stock market with the Dow sliding another 6.2% which may be why we’re seeing more people seeking shelter once again in real estate. We had one sale and three new contracts this week which is one bit of encouraging news. We end the week with ...

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 ...

Sorry for the late entry – I usually like to have my weekly wrap posted no later than noon Saturday, but I was showing property yesterday, which is always a good thing. Starting to see a marked increase in bargain hunters looking for, as one caller put it, “screamin’ deals” ...

It may have been an historic week for news, but local real estate certainly didn’t warrant any headlines with very little activity. Our MLS inventory of active listings in the Cape San Blas, Indian Pass and C-30 Corridor market remains steady at 365, down only one from last week, with ...

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 ...

I said yesterday in my year end review that I believe 2009 is going to be a better year than ’08, and if the first week is any indication we’re in for a great year. We definitely started off with fireworks, with four sales, one new contract, five new listings ...

While the rest of the country shovels and shivers, we’ve been savoring warm and sunny weather all week here on the Cape, with uncharacteristically mild temps in the hgh 70’s, low 80’s. Gotta love it. Our white Christmas is of the sandy shoes variety. Wrapping presents and holiday parties apparently ...
