Not really, one has to simply look at the circumstances. May is normally a slow month, however last year was nuts because so much was still closed and people were finally redeeming the previous summers cancelations. June will be a record breaker.

Last summer was nearly full all summer. An unusual summer with people mad to get outdoors and not wanting to get on airplanes.

I'll take that bet, even though Mcleanburgers are terrible. All filler and no substance.

We are the ‘must go to’ destination for Texans and southerners with money but no passport.

It's all good, you have your progressions and I have mine. I'll pass on the spam and hair loaf, you've always been more than gracious having us to the annual crawfish oyster orgy.

Tourist Development Tax collection on short-term rental accommodations north of the Choctawhatchee Bay totaled $30,321.69 for June 2022. June's collections represent a 25.14% decrease compared with the previous year.
What do you want to bet that NoWal gets more than $30,321.69 to spend in DeFuniak Springs?

A drop is noteworthy news, especially with the pace they've been building new rentals.That’s exactly why there is a drop, too much inventory creates price reductions. Plus you had Covid 2 years so you had the two best years in Emerald Coast history. 3% is actually not a bad drop.
Will be interesting to see the numbers for summer.
