The Emerald Coast real estate market was booming in the month of July!
We thought June was a busy month, but July showed us more incredible increases compared to the same time last year. Summer is a fabulous time to peruse the market and find your ideal property. There's something for everybody and we're here to help you find the right property for you. If you feel it would be a better move to list and sell your property – we're here to help with that too.
Let's dig into some of the numbers! As we stated before, we saw great increases – especially so in the 30A area. 30A East saw an increase in condo sales by 425%, with 30A West not far behind with an increase of 400%. The Miramar Beach/Sandestin area saw an increase of 147%, and Destin came up with an increase of 58%. North Santa Rosa Beach saw a 33% decrease and Okaloosa Island saw a decrease of 17% in condo sales as well.
If you're thinking the reason we saw such an increase in sales is due to price decreases – think again! Take a look at the percentages of increase/decrease in median condo sale price by area (more details are in the infographic below):
