Happy New Year: 2012 Recap from Christina and Andy Meinen

January 17, 2013 by

WaterSound Beach, FL

Thank you for all of your continued business and referrals. 2012 has been an incredible year, and we are looking forward to an amazing 2013.

In 2012, Christina and I sold 59 properties worth a total of over $24.5 million. This is an increase from 50 properties the year before!

We are seeing many exciting things happening along 30A, Sandestin, and Destin, and the market is busier than ever. Inventory continues to dwindle, and buyers and sellers continue to move the good properties quickly. Properties that are priced right are placed under contract within days of being listed on the market.

We see fewer and fewer short sales and foreclosures and find that the great deals are sold from sellers who are motivated to do the next thing – whether they are looking for a different property within the area or life brought them to make a different change completely.

Currently, there are only six foreclosed homes and three foreclosed condos on the market on all of 30A!

The good news if you are a seller is that properties are moving! The key is to be priced right so your property does not get stale. Our average days on market is 5% less than the market average and sales-price to list-price ratio is better than the market average.

The good news if you are a buyer is there are some great deals out there. The key is to act soon, as inventory is dwindling and have a Realtor working with you to keep their eyes peeled on the properties that fit what you are looking for.

The rental market has also increased. January and February are busy months for rental properties being booked for Spring and Summer. Now is a good time to secure your new property so it can start to get booked.

If you have not visited the area lately, we encourage you to make a trip – you will not believe all of the construction!

We are here to help you and listen to your unique situation.

For more information, call Christina Meinen at 850.974.9704 or Andy Meinen at 850.419.4777.  Andy and Christina are Realtors, who specialize in listing and selling real estate along 30A, Destin and Sandestin, as well as Seacrest Beach, Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, Grayton Beach, The Retreat, Blue Mountain Beach, Dune Allen Beach, WaterColor and WaterSound.

Big Plans for Sandestin

March 14, 2012 by

Sandestin, FL – There are some major events on the horizon for Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort.

Sandestin owner Tom Becnel said recently in a Northwest Florida Daily News article that he has two major new developments in the design phase, as well as several new additions to the resort this year.

Becnel is in the planning stages of a 96-unit condominium and a 36-home subdivision.

The condo project is slated for the Osprey Point property between the Heron Walk and Baypine Cottages communities in the Lakeside area of Sandestin. Becnel plans to market the units in the spring and if sales are strong, he will start construction this fall.

The new subdivision will be built across from the Burnt Pine Golf Club on a parcel of undeveloped land. Becnel couldn’t say when construction on that project would begin. But he did say that the is focusing on buyers, who are looking to stay in Sandestin for the long haul and not speculators.

Another project Becnel has been been working on is the $2-million renovation of the Bayside Inn that should wrap up at the end of March. The Inn will be rebranded with a new logo, furniture in all condos and a new pool deck, Becnel said.

The marina at Baytowne is also looking to get upgraded. Becnel applied for permits from the Army Corps of Engineers for a new pier and boat dock for 50 to 70 boats 100 feet or longer. The marina will also get a floating water park and will continue to rent YOLO boards this summer.

The Village of Baytowne Wharf will get two new tenants, Becnel said. The Hofbrau Beer Garden is scheduled to open by Spring Break. And a new Ben and Jerry’s ice cream shop will open in the next few months.

Sandestin is booming and will continue to grow. Call Andy Meinen at 850.419.4777 or Christina Meinen at 850.974.9704 today for more information about real estate and property in Sandestin.
