Engel & Völkers 30A Beaches Breaks Local Record with $8.75-Million Sale

SANTA ROSA BEACH, Fla. (PRWEB)
September 09, 2022

Engel & Völkers Florida today announced the record-breaking sale of 131 Compass Point Way in WaterSound Beach, Florida. Marianne Grant and Blake Cooper of the Grant and Cooper Group at Engel & Völkers 30A Beaches represented the $8,750,000 sale. The transaction breaks a local record for the highest sales price for a single family home in WaterSound Beach.

“Selling is all about relationships and listening to what really fits our client’s lifestyle and individual real estate needs,” said Cooper. “Through our dedication to our clients in representing 131 Compass Point Way, we were able to exceed their expectations and bring them multiple offers and achieve a full cash list price offer that closed within 30 days.”

The 5,227 square foot lot boasts permanently unobstructed views of the Gulf of Mexico. An elevator or stairs allow you to access all three levels and the tower of the home, which comprises six bedrooms and seven bathrooms. Other features include a wine room, saltwater pool, and golf cart carport.

“The market is so unpredictable right now,” said Libby Roozen, Managing Broker of Engel & Völkers 30A Beaches. “It is challenging real estate professionals like never before. The idea that our advisors are continuing to push the boundaries of the market in an upward motion and exceeding expectations for our clients, truly shows the power of the Engel & Völkers brand. We are thrilled for Marianne and Blake on their accomplishment; they are strong leaders in our shop.”

The former record-holding property sold for $6,980,000 in 2020, which is $1,770,000 less than that of 131 Compass Point Way. Likewise, the 4,886-square-foot home traded hands for $8.750-million, equating to $1,709 per square foot; which surpasses that local record as well. WaterSound Beach is a secluded, seaside village on more than one mile of white-sand beach along Scenic Highway 30-A. It is one of two master-planned communities, the other being WaterColor, by the St. Joe company. Designed by Robert A. M. Stern, WaterSound Beach features walking paths, dune walkovers, parks, a beach club and recreational facilities blended into a quiet community of single-family homesites, townhomes and multi-family residences. The architecture and programming at WaterSound are based on the area’s rich maritime history.

“As the market shifts, getting top results for home sellers requires top marketing and top real estate advisors,” said Peter Giese, CEO Engel & Völkers Florida. “Engel & Völkers 30A Beaches has both of those in place; which is the reason they are the number one E&V shop in the State of Florida and one of the best real estate offices in the entire Engel & Völkers global network.”

Since the Grant and Cooper Group’s first year with Engel & Völkers 30A Beaches, they have increased their average sale price by 64-percent to $2,255,669 in 2022. Engel & Völkers 30A Beaches holds nearly a quarter of the Crestview-Fort Walton Beach-Destin metropolitan statistical area (MSA) market share volume for this year. Furthermore, the brokerage has nearly an 84-percent higher average sale price compared to the MSA—with an average of more than $1.6-million year-to-date.
