The winter months are typically slower for our real estate market here along the coast, but no such winter doldrums so far and this week is no exception, with four sales and four new contracts, six new listings and six price changes. Our inventory remains unchanged from last week, closing ...

I hope you had a terrrific Thanksgiving with family and friends. 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 ...

Cape San Blas Real Estate Week in Review – Nov. 28 – Dec. 4, 2009
I’m hard pressed to believe I was in the Sunshine State this week with all the cold and rain (9 inches on Wednesday alone), but even that wasn’t enough to dampen or chill our red hot market, as we had what is our best week in the past two and ...

Cape San Blas Week in Review – Sept. 5-11, 2009
Summer may be officially over but luckily our buyers apparently didn’t get that memo as they were still here snapping up great real estate deals. It’s been another good week, with three closings and three new contracts. Only four new listings and eight new price tags. Unfortunately, though, our inventory’s ...

Cape San Blas Real Estate Market Week in Review – Dec. 27 – Jan. 2, 2009
I said yesterday in my year end review that I believe 2009 is going to be a better year than ’08, and if the first week is any indication we’re in for a great year. We definitely started off with fireworks, with four sales, one new contract, five new listings ...

March 1 Deadline To File For Homestead Exemption
On January 29, Floridians went to the polls and voted for a Constitutional Amendment which significantly impacts both homestead and non-homestead properties. I’ve received a lot of questions about these changes, and with the homestead exemption application deadline fast approaching on March 1, I’m reprinting here a well-written set of ...

Shut Up and Pay Your Taxes
We may pay obscenely high taxes for the privilege of owning property in Gulf County but don’t go thinking you’re entitled to any services in return. That’s the reality of living in a county without at-large voting; we’re held hostage to the whims of five commissioners each protecting and only ...

Florida House Proposes Changes for Property Tax Relief
