Welcome to the new and improved ABEC Realty website. This site is designed and intended to provide the easiest way to research properties and to help buyers, sellers and other interested parties get a better feel for the Real Estate market in Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Sandestin and the surrounding area. Searching by property type, price, area and many other paramaters just became easier with the launch of this site and we are very proud of all of the hard work that went into making it all possible. The site was designed for you so go ahead and look around, let us know what you think and above all if we can ever be of assistance in helping you achieve your dream of owning property on the Emerald Coast of Florida please give us a call at 850-650-9999. We look forward to great things in 2009 and to hearing from you.

It seems that we get calls every day asking what real estate prices are doing and about the real estate market in Destin. I think it’s safe to say that whether you were in real estate or in the stock market 2008 was not a great year and is one that most would rather forget. In researching the Destin market over the last 10 years I found that despite the lackluster performance of the 2008 real estate market there were some bright spots that should be celebrated. While you will rarely see the good new reported with the same vigor as the bad I found that the sales of 3 bedroom gulf front condos in Destin increased over last year as did the price per square foot. GREAT NEWS!!! Hey you have to start somewhere and this proves that people are still buying property in Destin. As we all know, the recovery will occur in pockets and while my crystal ball is broken and predictions vary as to the timeframe for a recovery we are fortunate that we have the world’s most beautiful beaches and the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico drawing potential buyers into the market. Destin is a fantastic place to visit and a better place to live given our moderate year round climate, great fishing, some of the best schools in the country and unrivaled shopping, dining and golf. Those facts are among the reasons people give for wanting to make the move to Destin as either a resident or second home owner and are only a short list of the many reasons that I believe that Destin will be among the first areas to recover from this cycle. When? Your guess is as good as mine but I do know that I will be in the office every day working with you and for you and that we are in this together and now is not the time to give up.
