Dodging a Hurricane Increases Asking Price
Unbelievable. Remember when I said Irma would cause wild swings in listings? This is within rock throwing distance from the previous Englewood listing. The punchline? An 8% increase in asking price after the hurricane.
1265 holiday actually has 1 full bath and 1/2 bath
what is rare and valuable is 1. fast access to ocean water via stump pass
brand new CHARLOTTE COUNTY SEA WALL BASIN AND ELEVATOR LIFT 14,000 POUND we looked for years to find deep water for our boat on Manasota key walking to a saltwater beach, walk or kayak or SUP board to STUMP PASS statepark close by with white sand beaches, the protected islands in lemon bay,
If you do find rare deep water then often in this part of florida you may have to go 20 miles by boat to get to a pass to open ocean. our STUMP PASS STATE PARK pass is less than 2 miles away. (less than a mile walking from house, actually less than 3 blocks on very quiet dead end paved road)

California Wimps Out Again
Imagine you are picking the State Dinosaur. Lots of choices. T Rex, Velociraptor, dozens of others. What does California do? How about this:
That's right the Duckbill. What;s next? Mandating the Universities adopt nonthreatening mascots?
http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article175066411.html
Brown, acting on one of the more lighthearted measures on his desk, announced Saturday the signing of Assembly Bill 1540 by Richard Bloom, D-Santa Monica.
The bill elevates the duck-billed dinosaur discovered in California’s Moreno Formation to existing state law alongside the saber-toothed cat as the official state fossil and the California red-legged frog as the official state amphibian.
