Things You Must Put on Your 30A Bucket List

30A really is a special place. It's one of the most beautiful coastal areas in America. In fact, the sugar white sands and sparkling emerald Gulf waters rival some of the best beaches in the world. And best of all, 30A offers visitors so much more than 19 miles of pristine beaches - there  are some absolutely amazing things you have to experience around 30A.

·       If you're an adrenaline junkie, you must try kiteboarding and surfing.  

·       For some family fun, catch live music, sporting events on the big screen, and some great eats and drinks at The HUB.

·       Into the outdoors? Camp out at  Grayton Beach and take an ecosystem hike. Or try the Timpoochee Trail offering nearly 20 miles of trails that meander through 30A neighborhoods and beautiful coastal dune lakes.

·       Festivals your thing? The Songwirters Festival held every January is one not to miss. And Digital Graffiti held every May in Alys Beach is also a 30A favorite.

·       Wet a hook – go Surf Fishing or Deep-Sea fishing in the Gulf. Boats launch from Grayton Beach all summer long.

·       Experience “Old Cuba" at The Pearl Hotel in Rosemary Beach. Inspired by El Floridita, Hemingway’s favorite haunt in old-town Havana, The Pearl’s signature restaurant offers a comfortable, communal ambiance. 

·       Catch a Movie Night almost every night of the week -- The Hub Wednesdays at 7:00pm, Rosemary Beach Thursdays at 8:15pm, Alys Beach Tuesdays at 8:00pm, and at Seaside Fridays at 8:00pm. Great family flicks show all summer long.

·       Enjoy some private beach time at Deer Lake State Park. It’s an off the beaten path area where you can picnic swim and fish. The ¼ mile beach walkover through the Coastal dunes is well worth the trip.

·       And my all time favorite place to enjoy tuna dip and cocktails and catch a gorgeous sunset – Bud & Alleys in Seaside! There’s just no better place to experience the true 30A vibe! 

So, no matter what you are into, make your own beach bucket list and come on down to 30A today. There’s so much to do you’ll have to come back several times to do it all!

What is fueling the 30A Real Estate Market?
 

A question that I get asked almost on a daily basis is “What is fueling the 30A market?”  In a nut shell it is supply and demand.  I’m sure you remember Economics 101, well it is at work here on 30A. 

Last year at this time there were 1,031 active listings and this year there are 505 active listings.  A decrease of 51%.  Buyers have half the properties to choose from this year!  Last year at this time there were 614 new listings and this year there are 245 new listings.  Buyers that are looking for that particular property are having to wait longer to find it. 

Last year at this time sales volume along 30A for condos, attached single family and detached single family was $451,037,444 and this year it is $499,954,000.  This is an increase of 11% with half the inventory from a year ago.  The average sales price has jumped from $740,620 to $786,091 for an increase of 6%. 

So what does all this mean?  If you are considering selling, now is a great time to list your property.  You have half the competition of a year ago.  If you are considering buying, there is no time like the present.  The average sales price is increasing and has been now since 2012.  Waiting will cost you money. 

I’m happy to discuss our market in more detail with you. You can reach me on my cell at 850-570-7290.  I answer my phone!  

Greetings from the beach.
