August 2019 | Condo & Home Market Highlights







August was a great month for real estate along the Emerald Coast!

With the last rush of summer visitors, August is always a busy time for real estate.
While here, vacationers fall in love with the area and decide it's time to make owning paradise a reality. Whether making the big move to become a permanent Florida resident or on the hunt for an investment property – we love assisting people in making this savvy move!
