Christmas thanks

During the holiday's, as hectic as they can be, you can't help but to reflect and be grateful. Every day on my morning walk I am reminded of that. The list is long. As a 30A Realtor, it is certainly a privilege to live here because selling real estate here is fulfilling on a number of levels. Most importantly, beach houses whether they will be used as a primary residence or vacation home, almost certainly will be enjoyed and well-used. A house at the beach is bound to have it's share of family memories and happy reunions. I appreciate the opportunity to facilitate that in some small way when I sell a home here.

Best regards for the holidays. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year

Real Estate along 30A up 30%

The real estate sales in our area, 32459 zip code have gone up a little over 20% so far this year. That makes us feel pretty good. Oh, and it is October and I am happy to be right here right now. There isn't anywhere nicer than South Walton County on the Panhandle of Northwest Florida in October. 

July statistics 30A year to date

As a Realtor, I'm starting to find it hard to talk about the market without what I say sounding cliche so I have become a big fan of charts. If you want to buy or sell along 30A these stats indicate things are looking good. The first six months of 2013 looked good and the stats for July continue that trend. 

If you want to buy or sell property along 30A, contact me at 850-368-8326. The fall is a great time to look at property as well as to list it.

30A Real Estate Market - Summer 2013

As most of you are aware our South Walton 30A real estate market is much stronger than it has been in years, with volume and prices up. 

Our market being a resort vacation resort market has proven the old adage that resorts are one of the first markets to go down in a recession and one the first to come back. After a crazy upswing, it was clear we were in trouble by 2006. We started to see the beginning recovery by the end of 2010.   Markets often act like a pendulum, they go too high in boom times when speculation is rife, and they go too low in down times, when every one is scared. We are coming off the bad times and the pendulum is moving back towards the equilibrium. Bank owned and short sale inventory is slowing up, but I still see them being a factor in the market for the near future. There are still bargains to be found.

In any event, if you want to buy property at the beach or sell property at the beach, this is a great time to do so. After the summer season things slow down on 30A and the rentals are more available to get into so people start looking hard. Call me 850-368-8326. I've lived on this coast for 20 years, I know the area and love it. As a full-time, experienced Realtor, I am a top-producer and ready to work with you today.

If you like the beach, 30A is where you want to be.  

30A real estate - momentum continues

South Walton 30A Beaches - June 2013

The beach looks great, the summer folks are here, the weather is heating up and the 4th of July is right around the corner! 

South Walton 30A Real estate momentum continues in a positive direction with a steady, consistent pace.  Inventory #'s are down; prices are continuing to increase; the number of available foreclosures and short sale properties seems to be trending downward. The market segment here that seems to be getting a lot of attention from buyers are homesites. 

Between May 10 - June 10, WaterColor had 17 home sales ranging in price from $571,475 to $2,075,000; Rosemary Beach had 4 home sales between $825,000 to $1,480,000; and Seaside had two sales at $1,712,500 & $3,500,000.  There were 51 lots (south of the Bay) that sold during the month with another 98 lots currently under contract. 

The Florida Association of REALTORS® releases county market reports each month based on transactions via our local Multiple Listing Service data. Call me and I will send you a  full report on each segment of the market broken down in categories by Residential, Lots,  and Condos/Townhomes data.  

Life is short. Hope you get a chance to enjoy some of it at the beach!
