During the last seven years, I have had the opportunity to build, buy and sell many extraordinary waterfront properties here on Anna Maria Island. This is truly a special place. It’s relaxed and informal - a perfect family destination. And yet it attracts some very discerning and sophisticated people.
The time is now. Like the rest of the country, the real estate market on Anna Maria Island came to a halt late in 2005, and was quiet for months. However, during that time, we have seen our high-end waterfront properties actually increase in value by 5%. In the middle and lower range of the market, prices are off their 2005 highs by only 5% to 10%.
For all categories, this is a great buying moment. Recently we’ve seen a resurgence of activity and my colleagues at Island Real Estate & I believe we have passed the bottom, and the market has turned. If you are interested in exploring the timely opportunities available now, please give me a call. If you need accommodations, I will be happy to arrange a special rate at the Tortuga Inn Beach Resort or the Tradewinds Resort - both considered the best on Anna Maria Island. |
