Get in on Pre-Construction Condo Opportunities in Destin FL

Occasionally a new Destin condo opportunity comes along that allows buyers to take advantage of pre-construction pricing. Getting in early also gives buyers the chance to pick their own colors and features, and personalize their new condominium. New construction also means condos are built according to the latest wind, structural and environmental codes. One final benefit, a new build can take anywhere from 1-3 years, which may give buyers a bit of leeway with their financial plan or budget.

No End in Site for Tourists in Okaloosa County

2015 has been an outstanding year for owning a rental property in Destin. We're still waiting to see the typical drop off in tourism that usually happens in September and October, because this year, it hasn't happened.

This is great news for anyone with a rental property, or local Destin business that depends on tourism. To put it in perspective, the permanent resident population of Okaloosa County is approximately 180,000. Just over 13 million people visit the Emerald Coast each year, and every dollar they spend gets pumped into our local economy 1.8…
