Our weather has been AWESOME the last couple of days! In the mid 60's in the mornings---whopee!!! Warming up nicely but really with no humidity! I'm really looking forward to fall!!
________________________________________
The MBARA kingfish tournament is this Saturday!!! I'm looking forward to seeing everybody! It is ALWAYS a good time.
The Captain's meeting will be at the El Governor----door prizes for those boats entering, free grilled sausage as well!!
I'll see all of you at the weigh-in on Saturday at Marquardt's. I'm part of the weigh in team!!!
This year, we are not going to be able to have a fish fry Saturday night. The new owner's at Toucan's didn't want to sponsor that this year and we didn't find out in enough time to arrange a Plan B!!!
Next year, however, we ARE going to have a fish fry. Sundance Realty is going to coordinate it. We are thinking about doing it at the Beacon Hill Park. We need lots of volunteers and are open to ideas. So if you can volunteer or have an idea as to where it could be or how it should be organized, please give me a call/email!!

Don't you love Mexico Beach's sidewalks???? The sidewalks and approving golf carts are the 2 best things that Mexico Beach has done in years!!!
15th Street is scheduled to get sidewalks as well. They will be 8 feet wide so you can ride your golf cart on it. This will really help homeowners on 15th Street as its really the only road in Mexico Beach that is not real walker-friendly to the beach!!

As for closings this past week:
>75 X 100 ft beach side lot sold for $150,000
A small, older mobile home a couple blocks from the beach sold for $76,000.
>A beautiful, newer home, 1st. Tier, in Windmark Beach, bank owned, almost 3400 sq ft sold for $550,000.
http://www.rafsg.net/RAFSGReports/ListitLib/show_report.aspx?ID=G356299256
This brings properties under contract in Mexico Beach to St. Joe beach up to 23.
However, 13 of them are short sales! Short sales are taking, on average, up to 5 months to get the seller's lender's approval.
This is a frustrating experience for all involved, requiring a lot of patience and persistence!

Don't you think $100/sq ft is a great price for a house? There are a couple of homes that you might be able to get for just a little over $100/sq ft----yes, that's with the lot!!!!!!! You might be able to build a new house for that (no high end finishes) but that doesn't include the land!!!!!
Now, you won't be able to get water view at $100/sq ft. but....close enough to walk or take the golf cart to the beach!!
If you are interested in these good deals----send me a quick email!!!!
