2009 set a solid foundation for a slow market recovery for the South Walton Beach and Scenic 30-A areas. January 2010 was an excellent kick off to hopefully a year of solid recovery to our ailing Real Estate Market. Rental bookings, rental rates and buyer activity have been very promising so early in the year. Savvy buyers are getting excellent deals on premium properties. Look for a steady increase in sales volume throughout 2010 and watch as we should be tracking strong market numbers all year! Also take a look at the most expensive homes sold on 30-A for January.
