Fishermen refer to a “mixed bag” as a phenomenal combination which includes several of the notorious “catch of the day”.. How about, say a big black grouper, a ravishingly red snapper, and a doormat sized flounder or two..??
Well, here in Florida’s Forgotten Coast real estate market, the outcome was somewhat of a mixed bag in itself this past week, as several savvy buyers secured their own unique gulf coast property! A total of 6 Forgotten Coast Properies SOLD - 1 Port St. Joe Commercial Property, 1 Mexico Beach Vacation Home, 1 St. Joe Beach Home, 1 Cape San Blas Barrier Dunes Townhome, 1 Carrabelle Beach Home, and 1 Alligator Point Vacant Lot. Of the sales, 2 transactions closed due to a REO/Short Sale/Foreclosure/Bank Owned/Distressed situation, 3 buyers secrured conventional financing, and 2 paid CASH!
Interest Rates continue to impress, as they give buyers even more incentive to take advantage of these rock bottom deals on Mexico Beach Waterfront Property! The 30 year fixed is @ 3.875% and the 15 year fixed is @ 3.25%. For those looking for a Cape San Blas Waterfront Home in the $417k – $650k range, those jumbo loans are also quite attractive, with the 30 year fixed coming in @ 4.75% and the 15 year fixed @ 4.25%..

How about a Mexico Beach Home located only a few steps to the sugar white sand? One of our Forgotten Coast Beach Home “catches of the day” fits just that bill, has 5 bedrooms, 4 baths, just sold for only $395,000, and all the “fun & sun” of the Mexico Beach shoreline is just down the street!
Make your way across The Gulf of Mexico and onto the pristine peninsula of Cape San Blas to find another great catch! A Barrier Dunes Gulf Front Townhome, perfectly situated to capture those spectacular sunsets over the Cape’s famous rolling dunes, just sold for $305,000! That’s a fine deal for these new buyers, as this same townhome originally sold for $460,000 in 2004 and it’s just a short walk to the gorgeous gulf front community pool!!
One more fab find offering tremendous opportunity is no doubt this ”previously” bank owned Port St. Joe commercial property located in the heart of Port St. Joe.. Yes, at a sales price of $350,000, that really is a “catch of the day” and as we all know, “some of us do have to work in order to live and play here along the shores of St. Joe Bay!!
