2020 ANNUAL MARKET REPORT
INSPIRE Living along the world’s most beautiful beaches, every day is filled with promise. It seems as though the Gulf of Mexico is an endless source of inspiration for many, bringing with it the courage, clarity and insight to bring about change and find innovative new avenues to explore. Inspiration comes in many forms yet it carries over into every aspect of our lives. What inspires us professionally may give rise to a new change in our mindset that allows other areas of our lives to flourish. In the same regard, and what has happened to so many local residents, is that one trip to the beach inspires us to make our dream coastal lifestyle a reality. As we reflect on the past decade, Inspire was the word that kept coming to mind. People were inspired to move to the coast and the numbers certainly reflect that! Families that only dreamed about living at their favorite beach found an opportunity to work remotely. Early retirement became a reality for couples seeking the warmth of the Florida panhandle. Investment-minded individuals made the decision to invest in rental properties, that would eventually become their full-time home. This swell in population has given rise to influential changes across the board. From design to architecture to the coastal lifestyle we all love here at the beach, there has a dramatic transformation over the past ten years and it’s exciting to witness. We are a collection of inspirations here along the coast - 30A, Destin, Panama City Beach, the Forgotten Coast - and the future looks just as impressive. What inspires you? Is it the sound of crashing waves or the feel of the sugarwhite sand beneath your feet? Is it being able to leave the hustle and bustle of city life behind as you slip on your ‘fancy’ flip flops to wear to dinner? Is it the feeling of joy you experience at seeing your children love the Gulf of Mexico as you do? Or is the solitude of a quiet beach at sunrise as you start another spectacular day here on the coast? Here at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Beach Properties of Florida, we find inspiration in our people - our clients, our colleagues and our local communities. We are eternally grateful for the opportunity to live where do and we’re passionate about sharing why our coastal towns are so extraordinary. Let’s make 2021 the year we find your coastal inspiration.
