Because there was so much interest in this lagoon front lot last week when the bank dropped the price to $50,000 (I still can’t believe that), I wanted to post a status update. It went under contract yesterday. No details available other than that according to the MLS the projected ...

After creeping slowly upward for the past several weeks, the real estate inventory of active MLS listings for the Cape San Blas, Indian Pass and C-30 Corridor market finally showed a nice healthy drop this week, coming in at 455 total, down 27 from last week’s 482, a nice 5.6% ...

Yes – you read that right. This just showed up on the MLS hot sheet minutes ago. Bank of America, which owns this lagoon front lot at Indian Pass, slashed the price today from $99,500 to only $50,000. This property last sold in December 2004 for $259,000 and the Gulf ...

This has been the hottest week of the summer so far with daily forays into the 90’s and only making it into the mid-80’s at night – just like Florida in July. Fairly hot week in real estate, too, with two more sold, five new listings, thirteen new price tags ...

Another busy week on the Cape with visitors out and about enjoying being on the beach and bay in the hot summer sunshine. The real estate market wasn’t nearly as hot, though, with only one closing, one new contract, three new listings, an even dozen price changes and three expired ...

Lots of visitors here this week as you’d expect for the long holiday weekend and the first weekend of scallop season. The weather has been great and everyone has been out on the beach or out on the water. If market activity is any indication, no one gave a thought ...

This is the first weekend of the 2008 scallop season and the weather forecast looks good for people to get out in the bay and play. If you’re new to scalloping, here are a few guidelines to get you going. First of all, you’ll need a current Florida fishing license. ...

Big weekend shaping up as the 4th of July visitors begin pouring in. Big day on Tuesday, July 1, too, my birthday, which Gulf County always celebrates by officially opening Scallop Season for the summer. I’m hearing it should be another good year so I hope you’ll be able to ...

Sorry about not posting a review last Saturday but I took a much needed week vacation in St. Augustine with friends and left real estate totally behind for a few days. Tanned, rested and ready I’m back at it with renewed vigor. Slight dip in our inventory, with 469 active ...

Warm and breezy week with beach renourishment progressing rapidly and ahead of schedule. It’s amazing to see how wide our beautiful beaches are becoming once again and the sand is every bit as white and powdery as the original. They’re working the Cape Breezes area where I live and each ...

Four-dollar-a-gallon gas made for a fairly quiet Memorial Day weekend out on the bay as the cost of filling those boat engines climbed into the triple digits. It’s been anything but quiet in real estate activity, though. Definitely starting to see a bit of a pickup in activity. Our inventory ...

The lazy, hazy days of summer arrived right on schedule this Memorial Day weekend here on the Cape with gorgeous weather, mid to high 80’s but with a steady, cooling breeze and lower than normal humidity at 68%. After taking a play day off yesterday I’m ready to get back ...
