Nominees for most 'courageous' asking price

[Smiling JOe]

With all the talk about the market softening...let's see some nominees for most 'courageous' (note, I didn't say outrageous) asking price for today's South Walton real estate market. Here's one I found on www.destinproperties.com

Shucks, it even has hardwood floors.

Someone must have been reading this board. The price of this one just changed from $3,400,000 --> $2,995,000.

Has it been condemned??? ;-)

There is one on Eastern Lake Drive that is listed for $2.8M and it was just 2-3 doors down from one listed for $1.65M (bought in Feb '05 for $1.4M) and I hope he/she gets $2.8M because mine is just a few blocks away and I did not pay that much!!!!! Market may be softer but 20-30% in a year should still happen and if people t hink that 100% cumulative year over year was going to sustain then they were unreasonable in my opinion.

Dennis can "scar" the beach or dunes short term but the area is still beautiful and will continue to be beautiful and demand will stay strong (even of not outrageously strong).

Beautiful house but that is my nomination. I suspect that they are waiting for the prices to rise up to meet this "listing" price, doesn't need to sell it, or is waiting for someone that has more money than they know what to do with or falls in love with the house and MUST have it at any price.....again no disrespect........I hope he/she gets it!!

Do we have a North of SR 20 category yet? If so, I've got one here for you.

Q'est que c'est? "Value is in the land" Granted it's bayview, but not technically bayfront, and I can't see getting a permit for a dock on the other side of 20, and the main house doesn't even have walls.

Actually...the 'sheetrock removed' is an amenity that is highly sought after in this community.

If you read my other posts, you will see three of my four nominees are from the Freeport area, so go right ahead. ;-)
