All the rain we had this past week sure didn’t dampen buyers’ spirits as we turned in another strong week, logging four sales, two new contracts, twenty-six new listings and five price changes. Naturally with all those new listings our inventory shot up, up by 23, closing at 396, with ...

Local businesses are having a wonderful Independence Day Weekend as most rental companies have every single one of their properties booked, the bay is filled with boaters and scallopers, and restaurants are serving record numbers.
