Centered between Pensacola and Panama City, Destin, Florida is no longer the quiet fishing village long ago known by boat captains and deckhands. Now a metropolis for premier shops, restaurants and events, Destin is also home to a variety of housing options. $134 mil- lion has been sold to date this year, and the area as a whole is up 3%! In fact, the value of Destin homes is expected to increase 6% in the coming year.
Neighbors to the east, South Walton County is made up of a collection of 16 beach neighborhoods, each with their own personality, including Inlet Beach, Seaside and Dune Allen and the allure of these unique neighborhoods is as clear as the emerald water that crashes upon their beaches. Condominium and single-family home sales in South Walton County total $677 million in sales to-date and understandably so. Each neighborhood is distinct in and of itself from the architecture to the atmosphere. From laid-back, organic Grayton Beach to Antiguan-style, palm-lined Alys Beach, each neighborhood offers something for the most discerning buyer.
Another booming market along Florida's Emerald Coast is the Navarre/Gulf Breeze area. Up 45% in condo sales and 7% in homes, $175 million has been sold year-to-date in single-family homes. Two communities well known for their beautiful beaches and for the Santa Rosa Sound, Navarre and Gulf Breeze residents and visitors quickly ascertain that the area is much more than what meets the eye. These quieter communities boast top-rated schools, quality healthcare and a variety of real estate options. Not to mention, the communities' proximity to area military bases have a huge draw for military families.
Having slightly more activity for sales on the market when com- pared to last year, many will be happy to hear it is still a buyers mar- ket. Buyers will not be surprised to learn though; some markets are rebounding faster than others, such as beachfront and properties with waterway access. Another successful arena in the real estate realm is new construction. A number of high-rise and exclusive condominiums are in the early stages of construction along the panhandle of Florida which will undoubtedly be a huge draw for those looking to be right on the water. New construction homes for sale in Northwest Florida include a variety of features and different layouts, making the buying process much more personalized for buyers looking to have the ability to customize their new home.
This region of the Northwest Florida Panhandle presents a unique quality of life that includes a warm climate, beautiful surroundings, and an abundance of activities, all with a prime focus on the white pristine beaches and emerald green waters of the Gulf Coast.
