Notable Moments From 2019’s First Quarter

It’s hard to believe, but the first quarter of 2019 is behind us. Spring break on the Emerald Coast is just about to wrap up and lazy summer evenings are in the not-too-distant future.

As we always do at Scenic Sotheby’s International Realty, we like to take the pulse of our business at the end of each quarter to better understand what we’ve done, where we’ve excelled and how we’re effectively serving our clients.

At the close of the first quarter, Scenic Sotheby’s International Realty had a sales volume of $178,311,425, enough for 16.6 percent market share on the Emerald Coast. Our closest competitor had a sales volume of $96,696,651. We sold 84 percent more than our closest competitors in four key areas: Destin, Miramar Beach, South Santa Rosa Beach and South Walton East.

Our agents are No. 1 in home sales and in condo sales, with $135,541,068 (18.8 percent market share) and $34,892,500 (11.9 percent market share), respectively. We sold 69 percent more homes and 41 more condos than our closest competitors in those categories.

These numbers equate to 26 percent and 14 percent more, respectively, than our closest competitors. We were also No. 1 on 30A for home sales valued at more than $1 million, selling 50 percent more $1 million-plus properties on 30A than our closest competitor.
