In record numbers, I am seeing license plates from the following states: Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Ontario, Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, Kentucky and Illinois. Seems like there are record number of visitors in the area this year. Why not? Temperatures have been unseasonally warmer this year and we offer a lot of sunshine most year round. It has even been more difficult getting a tee time on my favorite golf course, the Santa Rosa Golf course. It's all good though. I have shown property for now a full week everyday in a row. I am also seeing a record number of status changes in our local Multiple Listing Service.

If you are looking to buy, please don't hesitate to call me and schedule an appointment for viewing properties. You must be prequalified or show proof of cash funds for viewing appointments. My local lenders can assist you with this process. Once qualified, we can go and look at properties that meet your price range and needs.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Bay County Florida ~ Ends Year with Sales UP

01-12-12
Kelly Klein

What a great way to end the year. Bay County Florida is home to Tyndall Airforce Base located in Panama City Beach, FL. Sales Trends are showing signs of growth.

Total Single Family Homes were up 16.62% for the year over last year's numbers.

Condo Sales were way up with an increase of 23.68% for the year.

Lot Sales were up slightly at 3.78%.

The best news is that the number of foreclosures are dropping significantly and were down 39.44% for the year over last year.

With inventory depleting, rising prices will surely follow.

I work exclusidvely for buyers like yourself and look forward to hearing from you in 2012.
