Seaside Sales

[PalmBeach]

I'm not an expert on construction... but the fact that most of the Seaside homes were built a long time ago means they are not constructed as well as the new homes being built in WaterColor. And they don't have the same amenities as the newer homes... including some things that you can never change, like high ceilings, etc.

Seaside has always had a strict design code that required high quality materials and all homes have had features like high ceilings from the beginning. And, for some of us the 1980's weren't that long ago.

Sorry Palm Beach. I didn't mean to disparage Seaside in that way. I am absolutely smitten with Seaside.

And I obviously don't know what I'm talking about with regard to High Ceilings in Seaside either. I do know that they had high design codes, just like WaterColor (and other high end developments) now do. Thanks to Seaside for setting the bar so HIGH!

I should have been less specific and more general... because what I meant to infer is that building codes have been tightened dramatically since Seaside developed the new urbanism concept and showed us all how wonderful these developments can be.

I was making an assumption that the new houses being built today in WaterColor are just sturdier... and maybe I'm wrong.

Lastly... one thing that cannot ever be done is replicating the charm that is Seaside.

Shelly, the negative spin please

Great news. It looks like the planned changes haven?t hurt valuations at all. In fact, I think they?ve helped them a lot.

Shelly, in many respects, I have agreed with your analysis of our market over the last year. With this above comment, you have made me laugh. You are a trip.

Sure hope they have lots of working fire hydrants...30 year old wood frame houses and zero lot lines...
