Currently measure are being taken locally in both Okaloosa and Walton counties to prepare for any oil that may be approaching our beach.  Although the weather continues to move offshore oil to the east, we can only hope and pray our local impact is minimal and the clean up efforts are successful.  All local officials, governing bodies, city councils, and county personnel are doing the best preventative measures possible to prepare for this very unfortunate incident.  I will continue to keep you updated from a local perspective - good or bad - and offer you to contact me with any questions or concerns if you plan to travel to the area in the coming weeks.

I feel this situation may be unfortunate for current sellers and property owners in the short terms, but may be an opportunity for buyers who are financially capable to purchase that dream beach location at an opportune price.  If you are interested in being updated on potential buying opportunities, please email me and I will send those opportunities to you as I see them.

I am not trying to speculate on where the market will go, but know that the market was filled with great buying opportunities to those who are interested in purchaing along the beach.
