I can’t believe that just two weekends ago the water was at 84 degrees in the Gulf of Mexico.  Last weekend, the temperature dropped to the low 60′s, our first time this year bringing out our winter wear in Manasota Key.  The dogs loved the first signs of Fall (or Winter); so did the rest of the family.   I’m reading a motivational book:  Who Are You and What Do You Want, by Mick Ukleja, which is taking me on a journey of introspection and re-evaluation.  I kept the windows open…it was breezy outside but the sound of the waves made me fall asleep and I took a long nap.  I woke up to my computer phone alerting me that two more houses sold in September (one on the gulf side of Manasota Key for $1.575mi; one on the north side for $1.2mi) and one more just went under contract (listed for $499-not on the water).  Manasota Key continues to be appreciated by water enthusiasts looking for a quite piece of paradise.  We continue to enjoy it because Manasota Key has maintained its charm and integrity…and if you’re interested in receiving the latest Manasota Key realty information, please send me your request to: melbajimenez@michaelsaunders.com.
