This is still a great time to buy and sell a home along the 30AAlthough the housing market is cooling off a bit, there are still many reasons to buy or sell a home along the 30A!
For buyers, unlike the housing market of 2007 and 2008, risky loans and mortgage deliquencies are low and interest rates are still within reason. Although home prices are higher due to demand during the pandemic, we are seeing inventory increasing. According to an article from CNBC, "As higher housing costs begin to max out some buyers' budgets, those who remain in the market can look forward to relatively less competitive conditions later in the year."
For sellers, the 30A with its pristine beaches, year-round vacation feel and wide selection of entertainment and dining, remains a desirable location for those wanting to relocate or purchase a vacation/getaway home.

New Efforts Underway to Help with the<br />NAVARRE & NAVARRE BEACH TRAFFIC FLOW
Everyone who has travelled through Navarre on Hwy 98 and visited Navarre Beach knows that the best way to keep from getting stuck on the road is by timing your trip..... until now.....
At the March 16th Tourist Development Council meeting, an update was provided by Commissioner Dave Piech on the years-long problem of Navarre & Navarre Beach traffic.
Piech announced to the Council the devices to monitor real-time traffic have now been installed on US Hwy 98 & Hwy 87 and the Navarre Beach Bridge. State traffic personnel will be monitoring the devices and the traffic cameras will help to evaluate and respond to the traffic issues in REAL TIME. This will help monitor the Navarre Beach Bridge backups and create plans to change the light patterns to adjust accordingly.
Also, the anticipated NEW Traffic Signal coming soon to the Navarre Beach Causeway and Gulf Blvd. will allow the signals to be adjusted for faster flow of traffic in the congested areas.
This has been a year's long problem that all locals and visitors have wanted to see addressed and corrected.
Stay tuned for any additional adjustments that may need to be made to help make Navarre a more friendly place to travel to! 2022-04-07T09:48:00-07:002022-04-08T04:40:24-07:00Delawalla Grouptag:bestofemeraldcoast.com,2012-09-20:27825Find out who has the clearest beaches in Florida

In a recent Board meeting in Walton County a vote, and unanimous approval was given for a zoning change for a 220 acre tract of land in the sound end of the county.
This approval gives the green light to the 10,000 seat amphitheater, two roads linking Chat Holley Road and US Hwy 98 creating opportunities such as walking trails and more.
While there is no exact date for work to commence it's expected to begin soon, according to one of the Walton County commissioners, Danny Glidewell.
The money used to build the amphitheater will come from the Tourist Development Council's proceeds received from the bed tax charged to visitors.

We learned some interesting Real Estate Statistics from the Florida Realtors Mid-Winter Business Meetings held in Orlando earlier this year.
Florida's top buying and selling groups include the millenials, who are the largest groups, in their mid-30's. Don't count out the Gen Xers and in Florida, the retirees are always a part of the equation.
Top factors that need to be considered this year are the inflation numbers and how it will affect every day Floridians and their resiliency. We've enjoyed a long run of historically low interest rates, but with the inflation fears the Federal Exchange is expected to raise the rates, some say as many as 6 times in 2022, some expecting it to begin in March.
A qualifier this year, and for the past two years, is the Pandemic and how it affects our economy for 2022. Due to vaccine mandates, businesses have had no choice but to close, while most of their employees have contracted the Omicron variant of COVID and required to isolate themselves leaving businesses struggling to keep open.
While the Pandemic has run rampant throughout the world, from the first variant and morphing through at least 2 other variants, it is no secret that businesses have ran out of day to day supplies that they've needed to stay open. With many products being made in China and other foreign countries, these problems have only compounded these past two years. These issues are being seen in our grocery stores and anytime we order or need new products. The supply chain has been disrupted so much, many employees not being able to work, our goods are sitting on container ships a few miles from their destination. In the meantime we haven't seen the shelves this bare in a few decades.
As far as Real Estate, supplies that are in stock are seeing a dramatic rise in prices which, in the long run, means the price of new housing is going higher and higher and will soon be out of reach for some of those who haven't been able to buy quite yet. Tighter regulations compound the problems, making it harder and harder to build.
The housing market is just beginning to feel the heat. In 2021 Florida's housing market had more than 528,000 sales of all types of existing homes, making it UP by 19% year over year. Other statistics from 2021 include a 34% increase in sales of condominiums from 2020. Single family homes saw an increase, although not quite so high, but at 13% increase over 2020 it was still a number that, given the Pandemic, was a lot higher than anticipated.
Florida's housing inventory is very low in every category from Single Family Homes, Condominiums and even Homesites. 2021 started with a 1.6 month's supply of existing Single Family homes but by the end of the year that inventory is down to just 1 month's supply. In some areas of the state it's down to just one-half a month's supply. By the end of 2021Condominiums and townhomes' inventories are about at the same level of Single family homes, at 1.3 month's supply.
More updates on Florida's Real Estate Trends to follow. Stay tuned to our future Blog Posts.

Not only has the entire world been on a wild ride these past couple of years, the Housing Market has experienced its share of unforeseen challenges!
For Sellers its been a dream come true, with multiple buyers swooping in and above-list price offers the first day it goes on the market. Some Buyers ready to move in with Cash purchases.
For Buyers it's been pretty demanding and almost becoming a full-time job to try and be the first one to make a move on a house once it pops up on the screen. They've had to rely on photos they see or videos their realtor has made to decide to make an offer NOW!!! Many have lost sleep and wondered if they would ever find something they love, or if they do love it how much will they need to offer to get theirs accepted.
The Pandemic, no doubt, has thrown everyone for a curve, whether they've been in the Real Estate Market or not. Who knows what to expect with the virus not seeming to let up.
So how can anyone be able to predict how the market will be in 2022? Too many variables for anyone to know. Mortgage rates.... Home prices, Supply shortages, you name it.

Updates for Navarre & Navarre Beach
During a recent Navarre Beach Leaseholders and Residents Association Meeting, Commissioner Dave Piech provided updates and confirmations for Navarre & Navarre Beach.
Improvements will soon begin along Gulf Blvd. on Navarre Beach after the county accepted a bid from a local landscaping company.
The County has applied for a Grant to put a bike path along Panhandle Trail that will connect Hwy 98 to the NYSA fields and Navarre High School.
Commissioners will not approve any additional extensions for finishing construction at the Navarre Park after they previously extended it another 43 days.
A new Hotel on Navarre Beach is making progress to begin construction on 3 lots where the Old Barracudas was located on Gulf Blvd. Although it's not known yet what the name of the hotel will be, it is assured to be a higher end property. The hotel will consist of 210 rooms with half of the rooms dedicated for a short term stay and the other half will be used for longer term stays.
For those living in the area, you've seen 2 derelict boats floating in the Santa Rosa Sound. Notice has been given to the boat's owners and now the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conseration Commission needs to give approval to the county for removal of both boats, which will hopefully be in the next few months.
The new Courthouse being built is expected to be completed in early 2022 and the opening should be in late Spring as long as there aren't any delays.
The Commissioner confirmed that both Buffalo Wild Wings and a Wendy's are coming to Navarre along Hwy 98. It has been rumored that a national coffee company may soon be coming to the area but confirmation has not been made.
Stay tuned for more updates on this fast-growing community!2021-12-21T07:20:00-07:002021-12-22T07:55:04-07:00Delawalla Grouptag:bestofemeraldcoast.com,2012-09-20:25264Home Prices and what to Expect in 2022
The Real Estate Market has been booming for well over a year and, according to the Experts, the country will still be experiencing strong gains throughout the coming year.
As the Pandemic subsides and the world begins to get back to normal, people are expected to flock back to the major cities that were locked down for so long, therefore, a surge in the Northeast, Southeast and the West Coast is to be expected.
There will not only be more moving, those either Buying or Selling will also be forced to live with the fact that housing prices will be increasing. Don't expect the inventory to get much better in the near future too.

Improvements Coming in<br />Walton County
You may already be seeing improvements for some areas in Walton county. Below is a compilation of some of the changes that have already been approved:
A New left turn lane will be coming to Co. Rd. 30A at Co. Rd. 83 in Blue Mountain Beach.
Other areas for turn lanes are Co. Rd. 283 and Co. Rd. 30A at the edge of Grayton Beach.
The intersection, near the public parking area serving Grayton Beach, and other locations along 30A will be equipped with traffic signals to replace the stop signs and flashing red lights currently in place.
A new parking area is to be completed on Co. Rd. 393 near Co. Rd. 30A on a 2-acre tract near the often- crowded Ed Walline Regional Beach Access. Once completed, there will be 89 new regular parking spaces, 11 goft-cart parking spaces and a small building to be used as a public transportation stop.
A 4.8 acre tract of land, located at Professional Place and U.S. Hwy 98, will be a new parking lot near beach access and less than a half of a mile from the often-filled Miramar Regional Beach Access on Scenic Gulf Dr. There's a possibility there may also be a designated area to make a stop for future trolley service.
Approval has been given to begin designing a neighborhood beach access just off of Headland Ave. in the Seagrove Beach community. This is a project that has been in the works for a long time as the county needed to resolve some legal issues. Now that everything has been resolved they're beginning to move to the next phase.<br />Residents of the area largely are in favor of this new access, as they showed their approval during a recent meeting with the commissioners.
Bids with preliminary design proposals to design and build a 800 to 1,200 Sq. Ft. building located on Hotz Avenue in Grayton Beach to house gender-specific public restrooms and waiting area spaces designed for public transit vehicles. Presentations will be sent for review, adjustments and cost estimates made for final approval by the Commissioners. New transportation locations are being designed to encourage locals and visitors to use the service to help alleviate traffic problems.<br /><br />2021-12-15T08:48:00-07:002021-12-15T10:13:56-07:00Delawalla Grouptag:bestofemeraldcoast.com,2012-09-20:250962 Area Communities Recognized as BearWise
2 additional communities, one in Santa Rosa Beach and one at Hurlburt Field have now been recognized and added to the BearWise Community Recognition Program. In order to be recognized, the communities need to meet all 6 BearWise Basics requirements.
Communities bordering forests or wildlife preserves are more proned to having wild animals enter their communities. The Cypress Dunes community is one of those that have recognized this problem and are taking extra measures to keep the wildlife out.
Due to the increase of human-bear interaction recently the Homeowners Association in this community met with the Florida Fish and Wildlife authorities to see what they can do to mitigate this problem. They feel one way to do this is by purchasing bear-resistant trash cans for every owner's dwelling and required their use in 2016.
As Hurlburt Field is also bordering a wildlife area they, too, experienced these issues and have begun taking this matter in their own hands, requiring bear-resistant dumpsters to be used in all on-base properties.

Walton County has seen an alarming increase in drowings this past year on the Gulf of Mexico so they're becoming proactive in efforts to keep beach goers out of the waters.<br /><br />Earlier this year the fines were increased for those who disobey the Double Flag Warnings of the Beach. The fines for people not complying have been raised from $100 to a $500 Fine for those who defy the rules and disobey the law.
Other measures that will be taking place is through the enlistment of the Beach Vendors frequenting and selling on the Beach. Once the Double Flag Warning is initiated Beach Vendors will begin collecting their chairs, umbrellas, etc. to deter people from staying on the beach

Possible Renovation Delays Coming to Navarre Park
<br />**UPDATE** - On December 9th Commissioners will be asked to add 43 days on to the deadline for completion on the First Phase. If approved it will change the deadline to January 28th.
An extension may be coming for the renovations to be complete at the Navarre Park. Faced with weather and supply delays its been a challenging year. Phase 1 was originally expected to be completed in September. The contractor was forced to put a change order in and, with the Board of Commissioner's approval, the date has been extended until December 17th.
Once complete there will be 20 more parking spaces, a new splash pad, playground, 3 shade structures and a kid-friendly restroom. <br /><br />The Permitting process for work to begin on the Seawall and Dock is moving forward, as they are under a separate contract than the other improvements to the park.
Two abandoned boats in the Santa Rosa Sound have been an issue that has been slowly winding through the courts for the removal process.

Now in its 40th year, this in-depth study by the National Association of Realtors, is a snapshot of what's important to Buyers and Sellers now, what has changed, and why.

We all know that the Pandemic has affected the entire world. Included in the changes we've had to make also made us shift our priorities. Clearly, there were many of us that found ourselves isolated, not only from our family, but from our friends and even co-workers.

Walton County Working on More Public Beach Access Points
Those of you know that when it comes to finding a place to park when you're heading for the Beach can become difficult and you find yourself, along with others, vying for the same spot that just opened up! With the growing number of tourists it's clear that something needs to be done.
Walton County is very aware of these issues and are making plans for opening up to 7 parcels dedicated just for public parking and access to the beach. The problem is that it can take up to 4 years to do it.
Ground has recently been broken on one of these parcels, expected to open up by next June. This new beach access point will come with amenities including bathrooms, a lifeguard station, a wheelchair accessible ramp and parking, not only for cars but also for bicycles and golf carts.
No word yet on how far along the process is for the remaining 6 parcels but it's hopeful they'll be built sooner rather than later.
Check back for upcoming developments on this important need for our area.2021-11-03T06:29:00-07:002021-11-03T06:28:27-07:00Delawalla Grouptag:bestofemeraldcoast.com,2012-09-20:24447New Condominium Complex gets green light from Panama City Commissioners

Navarre Beach update
During the latest meeting of the County Commissioners, the current Navarre Beach Manager gave a presentation showing current beach conditions from recent complaints received.
From reports of vandalism, maintenance, parking lots, beach and trash, it seemed clear that one thing needs to take place, more cleanup crews are needed.
With an increasing amount of visitors flocking to the area it takes more manpower for the cleanup necessary to keep our beaches and areas clean. Relying on our tourists is not an option.
Pictures of the area’s public bathrooms showed dispensers being pulled off of the walls and found laying on the floors, holes cut in the bathroom stalls, power boxes being destroyed and more.
Another area of concern are visitors staying overnight in the parks. More and more locals are making reports of seeing homeless people loitering in the parks.
Future discussions will need to occur before anything can be accomplished and implemented. Hopefully this can be fully addressed before the Spring Break season begins next year.
Also, during the same meeting, the District 4 Commissioner provided an update of the status of the traffic light to be erected on the Beach. The possibility of it becoming a reality by Spring Break next year is unlikely as the cost and time from purchase to installation takes over 250 days.2021-10-18T07:11:00-07:002021-10-20T07:54:39-07:00Delawalla Grouptag:bestofemeraldcoast.com,2012-09-20:24181Beach Changes Being Considered in Walton County
Changes are being considered for<br />Walton County’s Beaches
In a recent meeting with the Walton County Commissioners some of the areas they’re looking at include further definitions of a “tent” and an “umbrella”, banning tents from some of the beaches, or possibly considering a law to keep from people linking their tents together.
Other areas of this discussion included changing the process of vendor suspensions and revocations of permits, defining violations and their severity and the possibility of using a point system for vendors. This way if they get to a certain amount of points then they will be suspended, not just for the first violation.
Commissioners are looking to clear up some of these issues before next year’s Tourist Season, therefore they are asking that specific proposed changes to the ordinances be brought to them for consideration by January 1, 2022.2021-10-13T06:51:00-07:002021-10-13T10:50:44-07:00Delawalla Grouptag:bestofemeraldcoast.com,2012-09-20:24080See what Forbes says are the Best Places to Travel this Winter!

4 Steps to Take When Buying Land
By Kara Masterson
You ask, "What could be so hard about just buying a piece of land"? It's not like a home where you have to worry about appraisals, inspections or repairs. Surprisingly, there's more to do than you would think to help make the process smoother.
Buying land can open up many personal and financial opportunities for you. You can build your dream home on the land. You can also open up a store on the land. However, if you want to buy land, then you need to take the following steps:
Find Land That Is for Sale
Of course, the first thing you need to do is find land that's actually for sale. Several websites have land listings for sale. Redfin.com, Landwatch.com, landsearch.com and trulia.com are just a few examples of websites where you can find land for sale. Looking online for land can help you save time and it can also help you narrow down your search.
Consider Everything You Need
You should consider your needs before purchasing land. You will need water, sewer and electricity. The property may have a municipal water supply. If it doesn’t, then you need to install an off-grid water system or a well. You will also need a septic tank if there is no municipal sewer connection. You can get electricity from the local utility company or use solar panels.
Additionally, if you want internet for your property, then you have to decide what type of connection is right for you. Satellite internet, a cell phone signal with a booster and fixed wireless broadband are some of the options that you may have at your disposal.
Work With a Real Estate Agent
Many people think that they only need a real estate agent if they will be buying a home. However, real estate agents can also help first-time land buyers. They can help you find the right type of land or land that may not be listed. Additionally, they can tell you about the zoning rules and restrictions in the area that you want to buy the land in. If you plan to build a home, real estate agents can help connect you with experienced architects, as well.

New Listings up in June**www.floridarealtors.org/newsroom/flas-housing-market-sales-median-price-new-listings-june-2021
Sales, Median Price & New Listings<br />ALL up in June!
ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida’s housing market continued the same trends as previous months with more closed sales, higher median prices and more new listings compared to a year ago, according to Florida Realtors® latest housing data.
“Coming out of a record spring home-buying season, the state’s housing market continued its strong gains in June,” said 2021 Florida Realtors President Cheryl Lambert, broker-owner with Only Way Realty Citrus in Inverness. “Of course, the impact of the pandemic last June is still a factor to consider when looking at the comparison data. In a positive sign, new listings for single-family existing homes in June rose 21.6% year-over-year, while new listings for condos-townhouse properties increased 10%. However, while Florida Realtors’ data shows that new listings have remained at fairly typical numbers even throughout most of the pandemic, it hasn’t been at the levels needed to keep up with greater buyer demand.”
Closed sales of single-family homes statewide in June totaled 34,165, up 23.6% year-over-year, while existing condo-townhouse sales totaled 16,155, up 79.6% over June 2020. Closed sales may occur from 30- to 90-plus days after sales contracts are written.
