California First

I was on Lenny LaRocca’s web site www.southbayhomeexpert.com – Lenny covers the Hermosa Beach area in California and I saw that this house in Torrence CA recently sold for $619,000.  It was built in 1954, has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1,338 sq. ft.

What About Florida?

By comparison this house in the gated community of Kelly Plantation in Destin Florida sold recently for $600,000.  It was built in 1998, has 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and 3,350 sq.ft.

Interesting isn’t it?

Are the effects of the new Panama City airport are already being felt?

Check out the deal Delta Airlines is running right now on airfare from Northwest Florida Regional Airport to Atlanta.   Granted it’s a short term promotion and has to be taken advantage of this weekend but it does bring exposure and accessibility to the area in Atlanta – a major feeder market for 30A Real Estate.  When the new airport opens I think you will see more deals like this in cities that Southwest flys such as Houston, Washington DC and Orlando. 

How does this effect 30A Homes, Condos and Land For Sale? 

More exposure to more areas will open more peoples eyes to how wonderful Florida’s Emerald Coast is and the incredible deals on 30A Real Estate right now.

Florida Panhandle Beaches are a Top Destination

I am really proud to say that one of the top destinations for 2010 is the place I live in. Out of thirteen destinations all over the word, I am not surprise that Florida Gulf Coast is one of them. This place is amazing! There are things to do for the entire family.  The Florida Panhandle Beaches are a must see destination.

This place has been overlooked by many, but the true is that it contains some of the most diverse recreation choices along Florida’s Gulf coast, and some of the best options for visitors seeking an affordable family vacation.

Short Sales Are Going To Explode in 2010 – Take Advantage Of Them To Get Great Deals On Real Estate

The simple logic is that it is less expensive for a bank to do a short sale than to go down the road of hiring lawyers to foreclose on a property and then hire a realtor to market the property at possibly an even lower price than what is on the table.  It’s the classic a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush thinking.  And it works for everyone – property owners get rid of a debilitating debt, banks unload a “toxic” mortgage and the buyer gets a property at today’s fair market value.

Southwest Airlines and Bay County tourism officials met in Dallas on Wednesday to sign an agreement.

This agreement will put local bed-tax muscle behind the low-cost carrier’s efforts to market the allure of local beaches.

Southwest airlines will provide daily non-stop flights from 4 cities to the new airport. These cities have not been announced yet. The airline officials will adjust flight schedules to meet the new airport’s May 18 grand opening.

The Walton County Tourist Development Council is expected to authorize a deal with Southwest similar to the Bay County agreement for a half-cent bed tax that county recently approved.

Come back to read more about the new airport.
