Panama City Florida real estate | Update on the oil spill…

panama-city-real-estate-oil-spillWe’ve had many phone calls lately regarding the impact of the oil spill on the Panama City, and Panama City Beach Florida areas.

Panama City Real Estate | April: The Perfect Real Estate Storm

The month of April does more than bring spring showers for May flowers.

In fact, according to many experts in the real estate industry, April is also the ideal time to purchase a home.  Thanks to the Home Buyer Credit, low housing costs and low interest rates, you could even say that April offers the perfect real estate storm for those who are thinking about buying.

For many, the biggest reason to purchase a home in April is the fact that the Home Buyer Credit is coming to an end. Although the credit has been extended through June, there is a catch: buyers have to sign a contract by the end of April in order to take advantage of the credit.
