The tiny Gulf Coast island is little-known, which accounts for its laid-back appeal. In winter, the water is cool, but the atmosphere is warm.

In the Anna Maria Island Historical Museum, the cover of a vintage brochure features a Victorian bathing beauty. “Anna Maria Beach, Florida’s Famous Year-Round Resort!” trumpets the headline, ambitiously declaring it the greatest resort city in the state.
This is the issue of AMIPSR we’ve all been waiting for…the year in review edition.
The bottom line?
Total gross sales of Anna Maria Island properties were up 46% in 2005 compared to 2004.
The average price paid for island properties was up 28.2% over 2004.
The total number of properties sold on the island in 2005 were up 14% from 2004.
(Some private sales were not included in these figures).
These number are outstanding and encouraging but do they accurately illustrate the market conditions today? NO!
