The article was released in the Northwest Florida Daily News. Here is an excerpt.
“I think the beaches and the water are much bigger draws than other beach communities,” Moody said. “And we’re not nearly as large as those areas, but you still get the big city opportunities with our shopping, dining and recreational activities in fishing and golf.”

This quarter marks the first quarterly gain for Freddie Mac in 2 years. Since the bail out in 2008, which cost the American public over an estimated $250 billion, Freddie Mac has been losing money. The US government is now it largest investor. However , this may be an early indicator of a positive change in the real estate market.
Though there is still a large inventory of unsold homes and a high number of distressed sales that are forcing prices down, this gain is seen as moving in the right direction.
This news will have significant effect on Destin real estate and real estate along the Emerald Coast. Read the original article and let us know what you think.

It has been rumored and discussed for years that Florida has been a target for gambling. And with the recent addition of the international airport in Panama City Beach, the Emerald Coast is a prime spot for gambling.
Will gambling be the answer to the current economy in Florida? My guess is that it will certainly give a boost to the economy and to the housing market.
Here is a quote from a recent article in the NWF Daily news:
“Florida is a sleeping giant,” said Franklin, executive director of the Tunica, Miss., Convention and Visitors Bureau. “It’s already the largest tourism attraction on the East Coast, so when you add that element to it, it’s just that much more money that would be put into the Florida economy.”
The Destin economy is driven by tourism, and with the addition of gambling, tourism will skyrocket.
Let us know what you think.
