"Slices of 30A" - August, 2020

An insider’s peek into the current 30A Real Estate Market – Part II: 30A CONDOS

Are We Just Feeling Busy Or is the Market in an Up-Swing?

Last week we took a look at how the 30A real estate market is doing with Single Family Home activity. This week we dive into to the 30A Condo market and again want to see if data and numbers reflect if how we are feeling about the market matches what is actually happening.

We are in the “dog days of summer” when things usually begin to slow down here at the beach. Visitors and families are traditionally returning to their homes to gear up for a new school year. Typically! But we all know – 2020 has been anything but typical! The same has been true of property interest all along South Walton and for our 30A communities in particular.
