Our Historic River Town of Apalachicola is heating up, despite the crisp chill in the air, and it’s grabbing the attention of many visitors and locals alike, including those looking to buy their own Apalachicola Historic home! Some of the upcoming activities creating all the buzz include The Pas de Vie Ballet followed by Elvis and Friends, which is coming up in January and who can resist the opportunity to dress for Mardi Gras, Forgotten Coast Style! Those festivities are set to kick off in February, along with the ever popular Forgotten Coast Seafood Sampler and no doubt this will be some of the freshest Apalachicola seafood ever, right off the boat!
Speaking of heating up, this Florida Forgotten Coast Real Estate Market was definitely a hot topic this past week, as 17 properties SOLD from the white sands of Mexico Beach to our quaint coastal boating town of Carrabelle! 1 Mexico Beach Home and 3 Mexico Beach Properties (vacant Lots), 2 Port St. Joe Homes, 1 Cape San Blas Barrier Dunes Town Home and 2 Cape San Blas Properties (vacant lots), 1 Indian Pass Home, 3 Apalachicola Homes, 1 Eastpoint Home, 1 St. George Island Home, and 1 Carrabelle Town Home and 1 Carrabelle Property (vacant lot). Of the Sales 11 transactions closed due to a Distressed/Short Sale/ REO/ Bank Owned/Foreclosure situation and despite the current historically low interest rates – 12 buyers paid CASH!!!
4 of our buyers did take the conventional route to secure the investment of their own piece of Forgotten Coast Real Estate, as the 30 year fixed is @ 3.875% and the 15 year fixed is @ 3.25%. One buyer even made it through the hoops and qualified for an FHA loan!
A steal of a deal on an Apalachicola Historic Home was this fantastic 5 bedroom, 4 bath beauty, located in the historic south side, and only minutes to the waters of Apalachicola Bay and The Apalachicola River Front! This smart investment fetched $330,000 cash of its $349,000 asking price. Hard to believe that in 2003, this same home sold for $452,000!
This magnificent turn of the century home was another of the great deals in Apalachicola this week. Listed at $395,900, this one SOLD for $345,000 in less than a year! Yes, less than a year and that is pretty much in a timely manner these days, as we have seen homes on the market for more than a year during this incredible real estate struggle of the past several years. I would say that finally we may be seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel in this Apalachicola Real Estate Market!!
Good Deal Lucille!! Even the most particular beach bum would be proud to call the latest sale on a Mexico Beach Home - Home!! This 3200 sq. ft. home comes fully equipped with a gourmet kitchen, tremendous gulf views, only steps to the white sand beach, and SOLD for $290,000 CASH! The list price was $425,000 and it last sold in 2006, for $669,000. Wow! What a hot deal and just in time for Spring Break along the shores of Mexico Beach!
