We commonly say things that are I guess more or less slang like flipped floor plan or rental restricted neighborhoods. Here is an example of a flipped floor plan. What we are talking about when we say flipped floor plan is simply the kitchen, living, dining on the second or third floor instead of the first like a more traditional layout. Often in these homes you will find elevators to get to the main area.

Pro Tip: Understanding Days on Market on 30A
How many days on market does this home have? This is a common question that comes up when we are out showing properties on 30A. To better understand what "days on market" means, we can look at the average number and a few reasons why.

I flew down 30A to try to video how crowded the beach was and where chairs were set up and such. I could have been closer or shot it with something other than a GoPro. It’s easier to see full screen on the computer or on a TV.
Anyway, here is about 10 minutes of flying down the coast from Inlet into Destin. I didn’t speed it up or break it up, but you can jump to the area you want to see. I usually just pull out my phone and get clips when I want to share what a stretch looks like. When I do that, I get a much more zoomed-in look than the GoPro footage captured. I didn’t realize how distant it looked until I landed.
Bad weather rolled in over the next few days, and I had to get back to work. Also, this time of year there are a lot of banner tow planes and tour helicopters under the 1,000 feet I was flying at. I may get a better video later since I’m regularly flying around out there.
I think it’s fun to see 30A from the sky and where development is ve; ...
