Hello readers and thanks for checking in for an update this week.  We’re plowing through July with just over one week left until August is here, when schools start returning to session and our rental traffic starts to decline a bit, although not as much as in previous years.  A ...

It’s been a wet July so far in Gulf County with lots of rain and thunderstorms.  Meanwhile our summer trend of fewer penned contracts and more price reductions continues, with a slight uptick in inventory.  We’re still in a sellers’ market for the most part, although buyers do have more ...

It’s the 4th of July holiday weekend, usually the busiest weekend/rental week of the year for Gulf county beaches.  We witnessed a busier week in our Cape San Blas, Indian Pass and CR/SR 30-A corridor real estate market leading up to the holiday weekend, with more new contracts, price reductions ...

Hello readers – I hope everyone is staying as cool as possible these days, as the summer solstice and the longest day of the year have come and gone this week, and we’re fast approaching the end of June already.  We don’t have near the volume of recorded sales this ...

Warmer weather is slowly returning bringing with it spring breakers and buyers.

It’s been a rainy, foggy week with even more promised for the weekend, and it was enough to finally dampen our market a bit as we had our first slow week in some time, managing just two sales and two new contracts, seven new listings and thirteen price changes. Unfortunately, ...

Old Man Winter finally remembered where the Cape is and rolled in this week with his calling card cold weather. Try as he might, though, he couldn’t cool off our red hot real estate market as we managed one more sale and four new contracts, seven new listings and a ...

If we keep this pace up, 2012 is going to be a strong year moving a lot of properties out of the inventory. We had another impressive showing, with four sales, four new contracts, eleven new listings, and four price changes. With all that activity, our inventory started inching back ...

January seems to have brought not just the new year but spring itself. We’ve had such unseasonably warm weather that my azaleas started to bloom this week when we usually dont’ seem them until March. There’s nothing in the 10-day forecast about cooling off, and our real estate market is ...

2012 continues off to a strong start roaring along this week with two sales, six new contracts, four new listings and six price changes. Our inventory inches back up again coming in at 377, with 91 homes and 286 lots listed for sale in the Cape San Blas, Indian Pass ...
