You can easily track the effect of the BP Oil Spill on the Destin Florida condo market.  The chart above shows number of condos sold in Destin, Miramar Beach and Sandestin Florida for the past six months.  Notice sales increased from January, with only 44 units, to its high – 80 closed condominium sales in April. 

The BP Deepwater Horizon Oil explosion was on April 20.

Destin condo sales dropped to 55 units in May, then only 42 sales in June.  That’s almost half.

The market had been recovering, and the disaster had obvious implications in buyers’ decisions to purchase.

Today, July 15, BP announced that no oil is flowing into the Gulf of Mexico.  Let’s hope their pressure test works, and the solution to this tragedy is at hand.  Destin condo sales may see a rebound with this news.  Time will tell.
