No evidence of global warming around the Cape this morning – IT’S COLD OUTSIDE! It was 40 out here on the peninsula when I woke up, and according to weather.com it was 35 in town. There’s been a bit of a chill on our local real estate market this week ...

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 ...

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.

Luckily it’s a lot quieter around here than it was last week, which is a good thing since this is the last weekend of scallop season for 2008, with Wednesday, the 10th, being the final day, so if you’re wanting to stock your freezer you need to get moving. Lots ...

I have to admit being several hundred miles from New Orleans we weren’t expecting all that much action from Gustav, but the wind has been blowing hard and steady since late Friday afternoon and waves continue to pound away at our beaches even at mid-day on Labor Day. The combination ...

It’s been a rainy, soggy week along the Forgotten Coast, and with Miss Fay cruising through the Caribean this morning it looks as if we’re in for yet another rainy week. The rain didn’t dampen interest in people looking for coastal real estate, though, as we have three new contracts, ...

It’s been the busiest week in real estate we’ve had since I started this blog almost a full year ago so we’re just going to jump right in and get started, because there’s a lot of territory to cover. Yes! ’bout time. The total inventory of active listings in the ...

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 ...
