  Buying an Airbnb in The Emerald and Forgotten Coasts of Florida

  Market Update with Pete

  Feb 9, 202628 min

  Luke Carl walks through real, on-the-ground deal analysis in the Emerald Coast market with Pete from The Short Term Shop, covering Destin, 30A, and Panama City Beach. They break down why certain properties are still sitting despite strong revenue potential, how seller motivation often has more to do with time and fatigue than price, and why making offers is the only way to uncover real opportunities. The conversation also digs into condo vs. townhome economics, HOA tradeoffs, bonus depreciation strategy, and why turnkey doesn’t always mean “best deal” in today’s shifting market.

  Market Target Update with Pete

  Dec 3, 202528 min

  On this episode of the series, Luke Carl is joined by Emerald Coast agent Pete from The Short Term Shop to break down what’s really happening in the Destin/PCB/30A beach markets. They discuss how falling interest rates, the return of 100% bonus depreciation, and more realistic seller expectations are creating strong buying conditions in 2025, plus why January/February and late summer can be prime times to go under contract on a short-term rental. They also dig into days-on-market realities for vacation rentals, seller psychology, creative financing attempts, and why Pete still sees the Emerald Coast as relatively affordable compared to other U.S. beach markets.

  Market Target Update with January

  Oct 6, 202543 min

  In this episode of the series, Luke Carl sits down with Emerald Coast agent January Johnson to break down a true Q4 2025 buyer’s market, where long days on market and abundant inventory are creating leverage for well-prepared buyers. January shares what wins right now—single-family homes with a private or resort-style community pool, amenity-rich condos like Edgewater and Splash, and locations south of Highway 98 with solid beach access—plus practical notes on pool costs, insurance realities, and where she’s actually finding deals.
