If you’re investing in a resale property or know you may be moving in the next few years, consider including these factors in your home buying checklist.

Here is the latest market report for Destin Homes and Condos. Destin has converted to into a slight buyer's market.
Buyers: What an awesome time to find your dream property!! Sellers are willing to negotiate and offer closing cost incentives. Now is your chance to find the perfect property where as before, you only had access to the left overs.
Sellers: If you are wanting to sell, it is time to consider adjusting your price.
