Quick
List of All Homes for Sale
We
periodically update our information. We rely on word of
mouth of Duck Key residents, "For Sale" signs and realtor
contacts, but our listing may be dated or show a property
which has been taken off the market or changed in value.
We are not realtors or rental agents. To get information
and listings accurate to within several days and find
particulars on homes for sale, together with detailed
information that is not in the public domain contact a
local realtor.
Utilizing
this Duck Key Online website can make your search for a
home easier. It provides information about the Duck Key
community together with a listing of homes for sale on
the island, but it will not take the place of a trained
real estate professional who can provide the most current
information.
Properties
which are "For Sale by Owner" and which are not part of a
realtor's listing will be found on the website, but
usually at the center and an integral of every real
estate transaction is a realtor. See Realtors

Real
Estate and the Allure of Island Living
For
many people owning a home in the Florida Keys helps
satisfy fantasies of how good life can be. Buyers who
purchase a home for full-time living or establish a
vacation home which they will move to later upon
retirement are drawn by a simple alluring premise - the
warm weather, the recreation, the Caribbean scenery -
life is better on an island in the tropical Florida Keys.
Island
Living
The
growing popularity of a recreational lifestyle has
sparked a yearning for home ownership near the water, as
evidenced by the fact that the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts
have become a magnet for new home owners .
There
is nothing like island living, and when it comes to
choosing island real estate Duck Key in the Florida Keys
is the place to be. Less than 90 miles north of the
Tropic of Cancer, Duck Key is in the same latitude as the
northern Hawaiian Islands.
Living
on an island such as Duck Key offers less congestion,
less crime and pollution, better weather and scenery and
a better way of life. Duck Key also enjoy a number of
protections from over development. Thanks to building
permit limitations, the island's small size and unique
features, zoning, and deed restrictions Duck Key will not
become a community that begins to look and feel like
every other place.
Real
Estate on Duck Key
The
romantic lure of tropical Duck Key promises the essence
of romance: the chance to live on an exquisite bit of
earth encircled by the sea. Whether it be ownership of a
second home or primary home for work or retirement, life
is better on a tropical island with miles of ocean
surrounding you. The responsibilities of work and life's
worries are lessened by delicious decisions of tropical
island life: whether to boat, kayak, fish or go for a
swim, to bike or walk or skip exertion altogether and
relax under the shade of palm trees and hibiscus,
drinking margaritas. Life on Duck Key is filled with such
simple pleasures and exquisite moments.
Living
and home ownership is especially good on Duck Key. Duck
Key has warm Gulf stream waters and free flowing canals
which are cleansed with the change of tides. Residents
enjoy a perpetually balmy tropical climate, Caribbean
breezes, the sound of rustling palm trees and night air
filled with the scent of evening jasmine. Duck Key living
not only meets recreational lifestyle expectations, but
what helps assure buyers will love home ownership on Duck
Key are the island's friendly
people.
Residents not only enjoy great peace and comfort in their
home by being surrounded by pleasant things, a tropical
climate and nice neighbors but have the added protection
provided by the Duck
Key Security District
.
Real
Estate - Homes for Sale on Residential
islands
Duck
Key is divided into five small islands, four that are
zoned residential and one that is zoned commercial. The
four residential islands are Yacht Club Island, Center
Island, Plantation Island, and Harbour Island. About 375
homes are located on the residential islands. Most of
these homes are protected by deed restrictions.
The
commercially zoned island, Indies Island, has waterfront
villa properties for sale which are part of Hawk's Cay
Village. Also located on Indies Island are several small
condominiums which have units for sale from time to
time.
Recent
Property Sales also Provided
Homes in
the Florida Keys continue to increase in value because
the Keys offers a climate which affords year round
recreational pursuits and outdoor activity. There is also
a limitation on available land on which to build as well
as Rate of Growth Ordinances which limit building of new
homes to less than 200 units a year. Supply and demand
has increased prices.
Homes
which have sold recently are also shown so that potential
buyers may access the market value of properties
currently on sale and to gauge the validity of the asking
price in much the same way an appraiser does. Appraisers
generally use comparable properties to establish the
market value in reporting to mortgage lenders. To get a
mortgage the buyer and the property must qualify with the
lender. By comparing recent sales a lender can confirm
that the purported value of a property is
accurate.

Middle Keys increased by about 31% over 2002
