Springfest in Perdido Key has become an annual event and one many of us look forward to. Not only is it five days of family-friendly fun, but it also benefits an organization near to our hearts, the Manna Food Bank.

The event will feature everything you expect from a fair. Springfest offers a full size carnival and all the rides, concessions and games that come along with that. And, one of the best and most surprising aspects of this event is that admission and parking are FREE! All that is asked is that event goers donate a nonperishable food item at the gate in exchange. Last year this event was able to donate over 1000 pounds of food! So, grab a few cans from your pantry and come out to Springfest beginning March 10, 2015 in Perdido Key.

Listing Your Home Over the Holidays

The holiday season from November through January is often considered the worst time to sell your home. But that does not mean you should scrap your plans for selling your home this year. The truth is that winter months can be just as productive as the summer months and even give your Perdido Key real estate a little bit of an edge over the competition.

The thought has always been that families are less inclined to move during the holidays. After all, the kids are settled and who really wants to dampen the spirit of the season with the stress of a move? However, a new winter listing is surrounded by a pool of serious buyers and less competition.

According to Zillow, buyers in the early winter months are even more motivated to find a home because there is less to be distracted by. So, let those current homeowners who believe the age-old adage hibernate and take advantage of a market with less inventory.

Ready to commit to the challenge? Look to the expertise of a Pointe South real estate agent who will go above and beyond to get your home sold so that you can enjoy the season.
