        <title>2021 Destin &amp; 30A Real Estate Sales Report</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



2021 Property Values Continue to Climb in Destin &amp; 30A


2021 was an aggressive year for buying and selling real estate in Destin, the 30A and surrounding Florida Gulf Coast. Buyers were faced with high prices, a leaner choice of inventory, and bidding wars. The offers with fewest contingencies and often higher than asking price were often the winners.


Home and condo sellers in 2021 saw their property values increase beyond the norm. They often reaped the benefits of a quick sale that was close or over their asking price. They also faced the challenging prospect of finding a new place to live, in a difficult market. 


2021 brought significant increases to the Destin, Florida real estate market and surrounding Gulf Coast:




Sales Volume was up 41


The number of listings sold were up by 15


The average Sale Price went up 22







Most of the decreases were attributed to a shortage of active and new listings. 





 The following is a 2021 vs 2020 Destin &amp; 30A sales summary broken down by:




2021 Single-Family Home Sales


2021 Condo Sales


2021 Townhome Sales


2021 Beachfront Home Sales


2021 Beachfront Condo Sales

Number of Homes Sold increased by 7 in 2021. The highest numbers appeared in Miramar/Sandestin Resort (23) and Fort Walton Beach (11). This number would have been much higher if we'd seen more inventory. Houses averaged 99 of their list price. Sizes ranged from 558 square feet for a 1-story bungalow in Niceville, to 13,680 square feet for a home in Eden Parc, Santa Rosa Beach. The average size for homes sold in 2021 was 2,302 square feet overall.


Average Sale Price for single-family homes in 2021 increased by 24. All the areas were very close, with the exception of Destin (36) and Miramar/Sandestin Resort (30). That's a huge return on any investment. Actually, close to half of these sales were vacation rentals. The percent of list price to sale price was 99, a 1 increase from 2020.


Highest Priced Home Sold in 2021


The highest selling home was $16,900,000 for this gorgeous beachfront home in Alys Beach.

Number of Condos Sold increased by 26 in 2021 and just as single-family homes, inventory was low, otherwise this number would have been much higher. Sizes ranged from 150 square feet for a cabana in Amalfi Coast Resort to 7,378 square feet for a 7-bedroom condo in The Providence at Rosemary Beach, Florida.

        <title>Keys to Success in the Destin 2021 Real Estate Market</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 



2021 has absolutely started with a bang in the Destin real estate market. We're seeing extremes like never before. Where buyers may have demonstrated some hesitancy in 2020, this year they're all in and showing up in droves. Homes and condos in the Destin area are remaining on the market just an average of 69 days before selling - 62 less time than in 2020


The Average Sale Price has increased by 43, depending on the property type. Overall Sales is up 100. Although the Number of listings have increased by 40, the Total Active properties are down -21. While buyers are coming forward, sellers are still sitting on the fence. As a result, inventory is at an all time low, with supply not meeting the demand.


At the time of this writing there were 864 active listings in the surrounding Destin and 30A market, with only 503 under $1 million. If a buyer is looking for a single-family home under $1 million, there were only 235 to choose from. If that home is in Destin, there were only 19.


To put the concept of Supply &amp; Demand in context, here are a few examples just from January to March, 2021:

How Can a Buyer Succeed in this Seller's Market?


Almost every property is getting multiple offers. With such an active Seller's Market, how can a buyer be successful in today's Destin market?




Do Your Research


Actively Search for New Listings


Enlist the Pros




1. Do Your Research


Some may say that it's pure luck when someone finds a great deal on an even better property. If you look further, you'll probably discover that a lot of work went into that find. Things like, timing, expert advice play a huge role when looking for good deals.


When a promising property comes available, you don't have time to start researching and asking questions - you need to be able to identify it and act quickly. The reality is, there are probably 10 other buyers who've spotted it and are acting on it.


Understanding the price trends in the various Emerald Coast markets will go a long way in helping you make a decision about where you want to live, or whether the timing is right for selling. Start by viewing the following real estate stats from January to March 2021 in the Destin area.


Destin Single-Family Home Sales - January - March/2021


The overall number of sales for Single-Family Homes from January to March/21 was 27 higher than the same time in 2021 (+102 in Freeport, +93 in 30A East). The Total Sales was 93 higher and the Average Cost Per Home was up by 52 (+53 in 30A West, +50 in Destin). 





Destin Beachfront Home Sales - January - March/2021

2. Actively Search for New Listings


How Do You find These Listings? Start by looking in the right places.


Many buyers run straight to Zillow when they're searching for a home. What they don't realize, they're only accessing about 80 of the listings. That's about 20 that are going completely unnoticed. Being in the right place at the right time takes a lot of work. You have to be diligent, checking for new opportunities every day.


The following links will ensure you stay on top of the best prices and the newest listings in your desired market.


a) Price Reduced Listings


Homes and condos in the Destin market are being reduced everyday. These links will display only those properties that have been recently reduced in Destin and surrounding Emerald Coast.




Price Reduced Homes


Price Reduced Condos




b) Coming Soon


Search the Coming Soon listings and get a jump on Destin homes and condos that haven't hit the MLS. This page gives you an exclusive, sneak preview on soon to be listed properties.


c) New Listings


Save time by checking the latest listings from the past week. Save even more time when you sign up to receive free updates and be notified the moment a new Destin listing in your search area hits the market. Just fill in the Contact Sheet below.


d) New Construction


Getting in on pre-construction or newly constructed opportunities is like investing in the early stages of a promising business. Prices are usually the lowest they'll ever be, and often enticing to ensure sell outs, especially in the case of a condominium or townhouse. Search New Construction Listings in the Destin Area


3. Enlist the Pros


Enlisting the services of a professional Destin real estate agent has never been more vital then in this current current market climate. An experienced agent is really your best friend in this situation. Their expertise can assist in a number of ways:


1. Critical Advice


When it comes to buying real estate, it just makes sense that getting advice from the experts in the business is going to give you an edge. Use their expertise to learn things like what areas are hot, and which have cooled off to determine where some of the best opportunities exist.


2. Timing Advantage


Imagine receiving notification of relevant properties as they become available (or in some cases before they're listed). Just because of the circles they travel in, many of the local agents are privy to news about available listings and other information the average person may never otherwise hear about. As a buyer, you can benefit from this knowledge. 


3. Realistic Pricing Expectations


This isn't the time to lowball, or add a big list of contingencies to your bid. An experienced agent can give you a realistic idea of what the home or condo is worth and help you prepare a strong, confident offer.


4. Negotiating Multiple Bids


To improve your chance of success as a buyer, it is critical that you enlist an expert in negotiating multiple bids. It's the experienced, real estate agents, who have weathered this type of market, who are winning the bids.
