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...

New Seagrove Beach Public Access Design Approved

*Jim Thompson - Northwest Florida Daily News - Published 7:01 am ET June 24 2021

Walton County Commissioners approved the design for a NEW Public Beach Access in Seagrove Beach.  The meeting, held in late June, was met by many members of the community expressing their opinions and concerns that this new access would mean an increase in traffic, among other issues and it was not wanted by the community.

After the attorney for the owners of the Beachfront Townhomes provided many issues that needed to happen before the project could take place, the Commissioners unanimously approved it to make way for the project to move forward.
