Yes it's that crazy two days in July here in The Keys where boat gas prices soar, and Johnny Law is just itching to cite violators who don't measure or exceed their catch.

Hoards of marine hunters motor down here boats in tow like pilgrims to Mecca to hunt for our tasty crustations and catch a post dive buzz at the Tiki Bar.

For the uninitiated, Lobster Mini Season is always the last Wednesday and Thursday in July that gives recreational harvesters an edge on the commercial guys who cant start fishing until August.

It's also a great weekend for real estate as many people, especially mainlanders finally say, "I need a place down here!"  And that, my friends is when your Humble Conchquistador springs into action!  With all the great deals down here there is something for everyone.

From Mobile and Manufactured homes to Oceanfront Estates, The Florida Keys offer you your own customized Island Oasis.

So come on down, know the rules, grab some bugs (local slang for Lobster), grab a beer, and then call me to grab a slice of paradise.

Oh yeah and since you read this far I am going to share with you my faithful reader on of my favorite spots! Trust me this is a Major Gift as Spots are super secret!!! But hey...I am a benevolent Conchquistador.

Summer Time and the Livin' Is Easy....Fish are Jumpin' and It's A Great Time to Buy in The Keys!!

Summertime ... and the livin' is easy.  Fish are jumpin' ....well, you know the rest.

Hmmm  Gershwin must have been contemplating the Keys.

No place I would rather be than here in our breezy windswept chain of  limestone and charm.

It's never too hot, and when the mercury does start its upward climb, just head out on the water as we did the other day. Went to the splendor of the Keys...Molasses Reef.  Always so breath taking, and even more so for out clients that we took out, as we floated 25 feet above the coral, watching the brilliant hues of seafans and the multitude of sea life that passed inches beyond our masks.  Grouper, Permit, Margate, a playful Turtle, Sergeant Majors and Blue Tangs, all danced in their own underwater Busby Berkly routine.

Even better yet was the personal escort that we had from a pod of porpoises 14 members strong!

All of this minutes from shore!!  Even as a lifelong lover of the Keys, this stuff never gets old!!  It is no wonder why guys like Zane Grey and Hemingway thrilled to be here.  The vibe of nature coupled with easy living and a dash of debauchery make our oasis a magnate for the rich, the creative and basically anyone else who is looking for our unique bouillabaisse way of life.

Below are Market Stats for June in the Upper Keys.

These numbers are interesting as it is the first month in some time that we have taken a backstep in sales values, which is good for buyers...keeping a lid on our growing prices for admission into Keys homeownership.
But don't wait too long,  the vibe is that as this great Summer Progresses more and more buyers are jumping into the waters.

Yep. It's Summertime and the Livin' IS easy, the fish ARE Jumpin' and Deals are there to be had!!!
