casa marina area: Key West "Selling Season" - a Perspective - 05/07/12 10:24 AM
For Sale By Owner in Key West The traditional Key West Selling Season (the time period between Christmas and Easter) just closed. I realize that many contracts that were written before January 2012 actually closed after then and that contracts written in April may not close for another month or longer. This analysis looks at the total closed transactions between January 1, 2012 and May 1, 2012 in the single family and compares the results to the same time period in 2010 and 2011. I used the Key West Association of Realtors mls database which shows only transaction where

casa marina area: 1322 Thompson Street - Casa Marina Area - Key West - 01/17/12 10:29 AM
Cool.... in Key West! The new listing at 1322 Thompson Street is the antithesis of the quaint cigar maker's cottages, the big conch houses, or the eyebrow houses that dominate Old Town Key West. Most of those houses are old and have been updated to accommodate today's lifestyle. Some renovations are highly successful while others are often challenged by small buildings, small lots, small budgets, or small imagination.1322 Thompson Street in east portion of the Casa Marina Area, on the other hand, is a 1958 ranch that was renovated by Debra Yates and Raymond Jungles who created a one-of-a-kind Key West

casa marina area: 1125 Washington Street - Casa Marina Area - Key West - 10/04/11 11:37 AM
1125 Washington Street I've told you before about the joy of living in the Casa Marina Area. The streets are wide, the yards are big, the trees are tall, the houses are usually much larger than those in Old Town, the beach is only a couple of blocks away, and most important of all, it is normally a very quite and laid back neighborhood. Just as Old Town sells more quickly than other areas, Casa Marina sells more quickly than any area other than Old Town. And it offers proximity to the Atlantic Ocean that Old Town does not. The

casa marina area: Easy Living in the Casa Marina Area - Key West - 07/28/11 11:42 AM
Vintage Photo of the Casa Marina Hotel Most would-be second (or third or fourth) home buyers usually select the Old Town area of Key West as the target location for their potential new home. I understand the allure of the old houses, cute little lanes, and nearness to so many of the attractions that makes Key West such a wonderful place to visit (and live). The Casa Marina area of Key West offers a mixed variety of small, medium, and large homes plus a few estate type properties which share nearness to the ocean and perennial quietness as an extra

casa marina area: 1517 Washington - east Casa Marina Area - Key West - 07/21/11 09:55 AM
I wrote about 1517 Washington Street a couple of months back when it was a fresh new listing. It went under contract soon thereafter. The would-be buyer isn't gonna-be. So the property is now back on the market and available once again at the affordable asking price of $425,000. I've shown this property several times since I wrote the initial post. I am now more convinced that this is a super bargain for a buyer looking for a entry level house into a very nice area of Key West.
