If no news is good news, then we've had a very good week as there is still no oil and now no Bonnie. We've also had another good week in real estate, with two sales, four new contracts, five new listings, and eight price changes.  No change in our inventory, though,  hanging steady at 415, with 1...

It is good to see so many visitors enjoying their summer vacations here at the beach as we've been worried that people would stay away because of all the fear mongering from the media.  Thankfully, for now at least, our coast remains clear.  Folks weren't all just soaking up rays, either; six of ...

The watching and waiting continue as we still remain mercifully untouched by the oil. There are small armies of BP contractors patroling the beaches daily even though the nearest oil reported is all the way over on the western edge of Panama City Beach. So our beaches are still beautiful and prop...

The headlines haven't scared off buyers but seem to actually be fueling increased interest in real estate around here as sales remain strong. We had a better than average week, with three sales and three new contracts, eight each new listings and new price tags. Not much change in our inventory,...

Tourists may be looking elsewhere for their summer vacations but buyer interest has definitely stayed focused on the Cape with temptingly low prices on quality coastal properties.  Only one closing, but we have an impressive  six new contracts. We added five new listings to the mix, and four sell...

WOW! You might think it was the 4th of July instead of Memorial Day with all the figurative fireworks going on around here.  I think we set a sales activity record this week: we had five closings and four new contracts. That's a lot of real estate changing hands.  In other activity we added ten ...
