WINTER 2025, RTO, and HISTORIC SNOW!

IT’S 2025, FRIENDS!

We are off and running into this new year! How are you celebrating?

As we kick off 2025, here’s three things, top of mind for Emerald Coast Real Estate:


It’s always a good time to buy or sell. This is a very common question, and we love talking about this topic with our clients! In our opinion, there’s no universal answer. We are not waiting for the market, fluctuating interest rates, or leadership policies to do its thing. We simply offer suggestions based on unique situations, personal preference, and what makes the most sense for you. When ready, together let’s plan your real estate goals for 2025!

Many of us, including our team, WFM (translation: work from home). With organizations trending toward RTO (translation: return to office), this is a reminder that Emerald Coast Real Estate is also an experienced commercial real estate broker. We have successfully placed companies in office and retail spaces in Atlanta and Pensacola.

Let’s talk about color! Elderton, Violet or Mapped Blue? Find more 2025 “it colors” in this feature - 2025 Colors of the Year by paint brand - from our friends at the Atlanta Real Estate Forum. We are sharing in case you – or a neighbor - find inspiration in a new coat of paint in the new year. We also added a few colors across our website, and please stay tuned for a full integration of Paragon – the Emerald Coast listing service – for your property search convenience while browsing at Emerald Coast Real Estate.

Be Well + Live Well,

Wendy Waller
Founder & Realtor

Foiling Week is the premier global event in the sailing world and Pensacola is this year’s proud host. Sail Pensacola is a nonprofit with the vision to make Pensacola and Pensacola Bay the epicenter of high performance sailing in North America.

EVERYONE’S BEST FRIEND

For many, a home is not complete without a furry, best friend.

SNOW, WHAT?! — ICYMI, Pensacola and other beach communities along the northern Gulf Coast, made history with snow fall in January! According to the National Weather Service, Pensacola got almost a foot of snow (8.9 inches of measured snow!) and shattered its previous 2-day snowfall record of 3.0 inches set in February 1895. This was Chula’s first snow day EVER. Can’t you tell?!

Please submit a (hi-res) picture of your furry, best friend to be featured in a future newsletter! wendy@emeraldcoastrealestate.com
