“What is there to do in the Florida Keys?”

I often hear this question when working with buyers that are new to our area. The answers are plentiful!

We have some of the best fishing, diving and boating in the country. Key Largo is home to one of Florida’s nicest state parks, John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, which is one of the underwater parks in the United States.  Islamorada is known as the “Sportfishing Capital of the World”. Marathon is home to Curry Hammock State Park, with one of the largest populations of thatch palms in the United States.  Bahia Honda State Park features one of the Keys greatest beaches and camping. On Big Pine Key you’ll find the National Key Deer Refuge, home to the diminutive Key Deer.  And of course, Key West is famous for many things, including Mallory Square’s sunset celebration, a major cruise destination and Fantasy Fest, to name a few.

3rd Quarter of 2012 Compared to 3rd Quarter 2013


Click the graphic to enlarge.

It never fails – when you tell someone you’ve just met that you’re in real estate, the first question they ask is “how is the market?”


Each quarter I compare the current year to the previous year to see how the market has changed.  It’s one thing to say it seems like the market is improving and another to actually see it in real numbers.


The 3rd quarter of 2013 has seen an increase in both average sales prices and number of properties sold in every segment but one, which was open water homes.  Still open water homes are doing quite well. The drop in average sales price is due to two low priced comps that sold for below typical open water prices.


Both condos and non-waterfront homes are doing quite well, with each seeing healthy increases in number of sales and average sales prices.  


If you’re considering a purchase, now may be the best time to get into a Keys home as I predict home prices in the Florida Keys will continue to creep upward.

JUST SOLD – 201 Nautilus Drive, Islamorada

201 Nautilus Drive, Islamorada, Florida Keys

This bank owned property generated a considerable amount of interest, most likely due to pricing. Priced at $300,000, this diamond in the rough received a total of 24 offers in 8 days! 

The sales price was $295,000.


This home was in need of many repairs but was located on a clean canal just around the corner from Florida Bay, giving it great boating access. It has three bedrooms and three baths with over 1,600 square feet of living space. View  more photos and a full description of the property at www.201NautilusDrive.com.


I won’t be surprised if we see this property fixed up and put back on the market fairly soon. The new owner has already begun repairs and has plans of selling it once repairs are completed.


Stay tuned for more information on this property.
