Wildflowers along US 65 near St. George Island, Florida
On St. George Island, in the panhandle of Florida, winter is definitely our slow season for tourists, but for people shopping for real estate, it’s red hot! The weather is gorgeous, the wildflowers are putting on a show, hurricane season is over, and all the kids are back at school, so you can get down to the real business of … SHOPPING for that perfect beach house. Like most markets, we’ve got a really nice inventory, which means you can be picky. And, mortgage rates at a nice low level, along with prices back to what they were several years before the 2004/2005 boom, both really serve to enhance what your investment dollars can buy right now.
Recent sale in St. George Island Plantation
I just sold this very nice home in the gated Plantation community on St. George, furnished beautifully right down to the knives and forks, a 5 minute walk down a maintained path to the beach, for $328,000 – unheard of value for years and years.
And, it wasn’t a short sale, or a distressed seller, just one who had owned the property for long enough to make good on this or practically any other market we’ve had in the last 10 years.
Everyone was happy, as it should be.
St. George Island light house
The sun was shining when I left work late that that day, and those long late-day rays were just too much to resist. I braved the oncoming “traffic” to snap this shot of our newly restored lighthouse in the middle of the island.
