October 2019 | Condo & Home Market Highlights








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

With the cooler temperatures and stunning sunsets, the draw is still there for many visitors, making October no less busy 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!   


The market activity this year has been exciting and we're continuing to stay prepared for the rest of the fall season into winter. We love staying in touch to keep our clients prepared and on top of the emerald coast real estate market. This is a great time to perform some due diligence regarding purchasing property. We're in the midst of the fall and holiday season! There is no doubt that the market will continue to stay active well into the last bit of this year. Keeping on top of the market will ensure that you don't miss any deals. We are getting a new influx of inventory daily and there are some great opportunities to take advantage of.

Just Sold | Dolphin Point | 602C | Destin, FL

2 Bed  |  2 Bath  |  1,360 Square Feet  |  Selling Price: $324,000









We're excited to say another listing is sold and we were able to get it under contract in just four days! 

We originally assisted our client in purchasing this unit at Dolphin Point back in 2014. He's thoroughly enjoyed using this unit as a vacation getaway for the whole family. Having outgrown the two-bedroom unit, he decided to sell it and purchase a bigger unit. Now there will be room for everyone to spend time together in paradise! 

Located in the heart of Destin and nestled on the northeast end of Norriego Point, this sixth-floor corner unit at Dolphin Point offers beautiful views of the Harbor and Gulf of Mexico in the distance. With two large bedrooms and two full baths, this unit has plenty of room for a vacationing family or seasonal snowbirds. The quiet community would also make for an ideal retirement spot or second home. The spacious living area features glass sliders and windows giving plentiful natural light and access to the large balcony – a perfect place for morning coffee or a glass of wine while watching the sun go down. Though this unit was utilized as a getaway destination by our clients, it would also make a fabulous investment opportunity with potential gross rentals reaching $22k!  








Dolphin Point features a large pool, beach area by the harbor, tennis and pickleball courts, clubhouse, marina, and is just a short bike ride or walk away from a beach access.


This was a great unit to shoot and market. With wonderful amenities and a unique location, we made the most of these qualities and featured them in our marketing plan. Check out the various ways we marketed the property to reach potential buyers.
   
In addition to professional photography, we produced a video tour of the unit and community to send to potential buyers. We create interest in the property by running ads on social media platforms including Facebook, YouTubePinterest, and Instagram. 

We sent mobile-friendly email flyers to our database of investors and agents that linked to both the property website and video tour for ease of access in learning more about the unit and surrounding area. The property is also featured on ZillowTrulia, and Realtor.comas well the internationally renowned Remax.com.
