Key West Real Estate—Truly Something Special

Key West is renowned for its physical beauty, historic charm, tropical lifestyle, and vibrant culture. The Key West real estate market offers homes that reflect these characteristics, and you can find many aspects that set Key West apart as being demonstrably unique among U.S. property markets.

Enjoying Warm Island Breezes

As gentle spring breezes rustle the palms under mild skies, we are reminded that this is one of the sweetest times of the year to be enjoying the pleasures of island life. The bustling crowds fade as April comes in with Earth Day, Easter, and a focus on family and fun here in Key West.

Breaking into Spring

Spring break time is here in the Southernmost City. Along with crowds of college students hitting town, we have a full schedule of special events taking place on land, sea, and even in the sky, while a Key West real estate buyers’ market appears to be shaping up to make your island dream come true.

Rewarded With Awards

A month has already passed since the holiday season wrapped up and the typically wild and crazy New Years celebrations dropped on Key West. 2025 is off to an exciting start with the Key West real estate market setting up for another strong year and the Bascom Grooms team already pulling down awards.

Happy New Year Key West

The New Year is close but we remain full of Christmas cheer in Key West—it doesn’t hurt to be grabbing shorts instead of snow shovels with temps in the mid-70s. It has been a fun holiday season, with young and old, visitors and locals alike enjoying all that December in paradise offers.

Holiday Time in the Island City

It’s time to give thanks for a great 25th anniversary year here at Bascom Grooms Real Estate. Key West has had a year-long calendar of exciting special events, some thrilling weather, and a steady stream of visitors arriving for it all. Now we welcome a warm, colorful Christmas and Happy New Year to the island.

Events of the Season

Key West Fantasy Fest 2024 was a rousing success, with thousands of folks on hand to partake of a myriad of special events and enjoy the generally jubilant party vibe that Key West always delivers. Now Halloween is creeping up on the Island City as another Key West winter holiday season gets underway.

Changing the Map of Key West

Florida House Representatives have renamed State Route A1A and put Jimmy Buffett on the map. SB 84 sponsor Florida Senator Lauren Book (D): “With this road naming, we are paying tribute to Jimmy not only as a musical icon, but also a fierce protector of Florida’s natural treasures and our precious manatees.”

Honoring an Island Legend

Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the State of Florida: That August 30, 2024, is recognized as “Jimmy Buffett Day” in Florida to celebrate the life and music of Jimmy Buffett, whose free-spirited life and significant contributions to national and state culture are commended and celebrated.
