2021 Destin & 30A Real Estate Sales Report

2021 Property Values Continue to Climb in Destin & 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:

Selling Your Home Over the Holidays

Well, ‘tis the season for giving, but many people who have their homes on the market wonder if it’s the best season for selling. Fear not that the real estate market tends to experience a lull during the holiday season, there are still plenty of reasons to list your home.

Consider that buyers over the holidays are more serious, or they wouldn’t be house shopping at this time of year. Also, there are less homes for sale in the Destin area right now, so there is less competition from other sellers.

How do you enjoy the holidays, decorate your home and still list your house? It can be a bit of a balancing act, but definitely do-able. Here are a few things to keep in mind when selling your Destin home over the Christmas holidays:
