Yet another person with a home listed for 250+ times the going monthly rental rate.... Is there any wonder why the RE market is dead???

Rule of thumb has always been closer to the 120-150 range if I am not mistaken... Seems to me his house is priced double its worth... sounds like all the houses in this area...

Or the price $250k-$350k...

If you look into it a bit deeper, rents reflect todays costs and what people can afford today...

Home prices can be put off or even put into a neg amortization loan... so the price may not really reflect what the demographics can currently afford... which I would argue is definately the case in todays market...

You see a ton of homes bought on short term interest for what was hoped to speculative huge short term gains... That is no longer occuring so one must scratch their head and say....

Why would I pay $4000+/month to the bank to buy (actually just renting from the bank) this home... when I can rent it from the landlord for half the cost.... especially when the value of this home is not going up and may just be going down over the next couple/few/half dozen/dozen years....

Obvioiusly this is all just the humble opinion of a local observer who is enthraled with the amazing run and what seems to be eminant collapse of the RE market....

I cannot help but bring up a point I made several months ago, and that is the weakness of the US dollar. America is really on sale now !! The value of the dollar vs the euro has collapsed. Have any of the R/E agents out there seen any foreign interest in property here ? Or have you heard of foreigners looking in Naples or Boca or other areas of Fla ? If I was an agent I definitely would explore hooking up with an overseas agency to market properties here in South Walton. America is still the safest and most secure nation on the planet and if you want to own property, we seem also to have the most "owner friendly" laws as compared to other countries. And besides we have the best beach and friendliest people !! I definitely would recommend that agents investigate a "foreign connection".

I am trying to help someone sell their home. The comp values are all over the board. I understand your mission and putting your point of view out. This is why we have this board. Have you been to the property or do you wait for someone to post these and then throw out your two cents? Do you know the market where this home is located? Do you know they are dregging the canals? Did you know from the backyard you can go anywhere in the world? Have you ever taken a boat up the canals to Peach creek and looked at all the beautiful things this area offers??? It seems we have a bunch of people that love to spout off the latest thing that have read in Newsweek but never even look at the products they seem to know so much about. I thought this SoWAl site was going to be a place to post my listings and try to help people out. It seems I get the peanut gallery everytime I try. Maybe we could have a section where people want to beat everything up and then we could have a section where some of us could share our properties and not feel like everytime you post someone throws out their trash on it. This is a nice home at a fair price and the people deserve a chance for it to be looked at by folks that do not feel like the sky is falling.

I think too many people are hooked on the notion that all homes must be good rental investments. Homes are not always bought because they would make a good rental investment. When you rent a home in this market, you may save money, but some people want the lifestyle of owning their own home, and being able to do with it as they wish. You don't like the seafoam blue paint, paint it. You are want a pet, get one. Sure renting has some perks, too, but owning is not all bad.

Bobby, please stop talking about how nice Daughettes is -- people may start buying back there. I like to keep Daughettes like SoWal -- on the down-low for cool people only. ;-)

Bobby, show the naysayers the home, and they will retract their posts. They don't have a clue.

Deep-water dockage in SoWal with unobstructed access to the Intracostal is difficult to find ? not to mention that most of the Daughettes properties have excellent elevations. I like that area a lot.
