What will 2012 bring for the Panama City Beach condo market? The Beach is still significantly oversupplied with inventory, capital is limited in the lender arena, and foreclosure/short sale activity continues to plague the area. With the strong finish that took place in the 4th Quarter of 2011, it will be interesting to see how the 1st Quarter of the New Year performs.
