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 ...

Quite a busy week here around the Cape what with Scallop Season getting underway on Wednesday and folks pouring in for the 4th of July celebration this weekend. But even with everything else going on, some folks still found time to work some real estate deals and we had another ...

No new listings but there was one sale at Barrier Dunes since my last update on the 19th, and we also have a number of price changes. A 2-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath townhouse in the back on Parkside listed for $218,000 sold on the 23rd for $204,500. There are currently ...

Our brisk pace continued this week with buyers stepping up to the plate and writing offers, and we also started to see some making it to closing. Overall a very good week, with three closings, two more contracts, only three new listings, and six price changes. Even our inventory returned ...

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 ...

Hot! Hot! Hot! I’m talking about both the weather and our real estate market this week. The trend of the past couple weeks continues with lots of buyer interest returning. Our inventory is starting to reflect that as well, ending the week down ten from last week, with 401 active ...

Wow! What a week. The buyers are definitely back and while they may be making low offers, at least they’re offering something, and a lot of them are turning into contracts. We had our best week yet in the nearly two years I’ve been writing this blog, with four closings ...

Summer arrived right on time after a rain-soaked and windy Memorial Day weekend. The weather ever since has been sunny and hot and happily so is local real estate. No change in our inventory of active MLS listings in the Cape San Blas, Indian Pass and C-30 Corridor market since ...

The question I’m hearing from nearly everyone I come in contact with lately is, “Well, is anything selling?” and I tell them absolutely, things are picking up again noticeably, as evidenced by the fact that this is the second week in a row we’ve had four new contracts. In other ...

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, ...
