The calendar said Christmas but the weather said summer. What a beautiful warm, sunny week it has been. I hope you had a good holiday with family and friends. Santa brought us one closing and two contracts, three new listings , three new price tags and eleven expired unsold. Our ...

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 ...

Thoughts of shopping fill the air as we draw another week closer to Christmas and Hannukah, and we had a few shoppers decide to pick up a little piece of paradise for some lucky person on their list. Virtually no change in our inventory, standing steady at 378, down one ...

Can it really be December already? Doesn’t seem possible but it’s most definitely the first weekend of December because two of the biggest rivals in college football are on for this afternoon: the 109th meeting of Army-Navy kicks off at noon and Florida and Alabama rumble at 4. I don’t ...

I hope you had a pleasant Thanksgiving. It was a gorgeous day here on the Cape, warm and clear. Lots of people here for the holiday, with this traditionally being when our many absentee owners who rent their homes block this week out for them and their families to use. ...

Another week of beautiful autumn weather here on the Cape with warm days, calm waves, and clear, deserted beaches. Not a lot of visitors this time of year, and typically real estate activity begins to quiet as we head into the holiday season, but this week we had a definite ...

What a tumultuous week. The 22-month campaign marathon finally, mercifully came to an end while the stock market continues to whip wildly back and forth like a loose fire hose. It doesn’t look as if the stock market is going to be the safe haven of choice any time soon, ...

Lots going on this weekend what with Halloween and the Apalachicola Seafood Festival. There’s been lots going on in real estate, too, with investors starting to look for bargain properties to snap up. Our inventory of active MLS listings in the Cape San Blas, Indian Pass and C-30 Corridor drops ...

If you weren’t lucky enough to be on the Cape this week you missed one of the prettiest weeks of the year. The weather couldn’t be more perfect: crystal blue skies, highs around 78 or 80, relatively low humidity and gentle breezes. Mark your calendar: October is a great time ...

I don’t know about you but I don’t really want to go through another week like the one we just ended. It has been hard to get anything done while glued to the screen watching the stock market fluctuate wildly out of control. Maybe some of the capital pulled out ...

Well, the world didn’t end this week as everyone predicted, so if Wall Street is still alive I guess there’s hope for real estate, too. Aother nice drop in our inventory this week, down 10 to 388 with nine fewer homes (160 vs. 169) and one fewer lot (228 vs. ...
