New Listings, Closed Sales and Pending Sales in the Florida Key – July 11th to July 17th, 2011

New Listing – Offered at $299,000

It’s definitely summer here in the Florida Keys!  Temperatures are up, people are out on the boat fishing and diving and live is good! It’s a great time to be living in the Florida Keys!

Pending Sale – Offered at $1,300,000

For the first time in a long time the number of closed sales dropped, but pending listings and new listings continue.

Sold Listing – Sold for $150,000

This past week, we had 20 new listings come on the market, 18 properties go under contract and just 6 closings.

New listings include a well-maintained dry lot home in Key Largo offered at $299,000. This 3/2 home is fairly new and move-in ready.  Pending sales included a 4 bedroom, 3 bath home on Adam’s Cut.  This home features over 100 feet on the cut and offers immediate access to both bay and ocean. It was offered at $1,300,000.

Most of the properties that sold or went pending this past week were single family dry lot homes.  Priced right, dry lot homes are selling very well. They have become the “gateway” to owning a home in the Keys. Buyers have realized that dry lot homes can be comparable in price to condos, but without the monthly association fees. Most neighborhoods provide some sort of boating access, with some neighborhoods having fairly elaborate homeowner’s parks with boat ramps, picnic areas, even small beaches.

Luxury Living in the Heart of the Florida Keys

The Heart of the Florida Keys – Marathon. This quaint, tropical city is located mainly on Vaca Key, Fat Deer Key, and Grassy Key, and is a 10- mile-long family-oriented island community rooted in a heritage of fishing, and reflects the old-Keys lifestyle that residents, snowbirds and visitors enjoy so much.

Though the area has been settled for some time, Marathon is a relatively new city, incorporated in 1999. The city’s boundaries extend from the east end of the Seven Mile Bridge (Mile Marker 47) to the west end of Tom’s Harbor Bridge (Mile Marker 61), excluding that portion of the area within the city limits of Key Colony Beach.

The name Marathon dates back to the origin of the Florida East Coast Railroad. The name came about by the railroad workers who were working night and day to complete the railway – due to the unrelenting pace and struggle to complete the project, many of the workers complained that “this is getting to be a real Marathon”, and was later used to name the local station along the railroad.

Marathon boasts some of the most breathtaking luxury homes in the Keys. From homes located on secluded harbors to direct ocean and bay front estates, even the most discrimination buyer is bound to find something to suit their needs.

Take a look at some of the best homes the area has to offer. If you see something you like, call or email to arrange a private showing.
