Sales numbers for the first quarter of 2014 for all Destin Real Estate are in. Destin is an upscale beach community in Northwest Florida, also known as the Emerald Coast, that is very popular with tourists and those looking to enjoy resort lving. The original settlers in the area took advantage of the abundant fishery located off the Destin coast and made their living by fishing.

In the early 1970's the area had become so popular that a local developer built the first high rise condo in Destin. Today, real estate in Destin is complex and includes transactions involving homes, condos, and lots.
