Cash sales down 40% yoy, back to 2019 levels, so investors and 1031's are drying up. Next, I think "time to close" will expand because banks won't lend on tighter credit or appraisals. Rates + layoffs will do the rest

Hate to say I told you so, but I did..... https://www.emeraldcoastrealtors.com/docs/default-source/stats/july-wal-2022.pdf?sfvrsn=2

Well, its started. How does it feel to be right....

i disagree....that's kinda whata soft pop is.......

The soft pop just happened a week or two ago. Now, tons more inventory at inflated prices and they're all just sitting. Have seen a couple with +50k price cuts now I think April had something like +700 closings for WC

Wow, I haven't heard that name in a long time. Where is Shelly? We are definitely in a bubble. It was June '05 when the last one started to burst and its just a question of timing. Maybe a year or two. I don't think it matters, cash buyers or not, because its never the last catalyst that...

And it’s Redfisher, sweetness. Spelling, like compassion for your fellow man, doesn't seem to be your long suit.

It’s funny, you show contempt for the very people who grew up here, raise their kids and work here. I’ve been here for 20 years and I couldn’t live with myself destroying those livelihoods. I can only presume that you’re a transplant, because who other than that would begrudge the real locals...

If you don't appreciate the tourism piece of Walton County and can come up with a way to replace the tax base and revenues, lets hear it. Or you can leave?

What I read said SRB accounted for 12 of 32, regardless of resident/non-resident, with 2 more probables in 48 hours. So that's +40% of infections in SRB. Just wondering why we're so high?

I agree with you and them

Of the 32ish cases, I think SRB accounts for almost half. At first, I remember it being out-of-staters. Now, its all locals. If I were Trey Nick and the WCC, I'd want to know that rather than all this other stuff.

Does anyone know any of the backstory of the SRB cases? We (SRB) seem to be the problem in WC and I'd like to know if they are similarities between these continuing infections. Common places they've gone, proximity to each other, etc.

Wow, so you want to tell someone what they can and can't do on their property? Especially something as trivial as going out into their backyard?

Was hoping to get more comments from actual R/E agents or builders for this thread.

Is there competitive bidding on individual properties, meaning multiple above asking price offers bidding sale prices up?

This is The kind of stuff I was talking about. Any other agents or builders care to elaborate on their thoughts? I seem to remember in the Summer of 2005 the activity seem to just shut off like a light switch

No, not necessarily. I’m just interested in the current selling environment in somewhat real time.

I just remember before the "unpleasantness" of 2005, there were several threads from real estate and builder folks who, and while they didn't predict trouble, they were at least discussing "local stuff". I personally don't think SoWal is that unique and then some were espousing "slowdown not...

I enjoy reading the monthly Walton county updates posted here regarding the real estate market. Is there an ongoing thread discussing the "Health of the Market"? thx, Red

Ivan and Dennis, most immediately, come to mind. Really started viewing this site during Ivan or Dennis. That was the quickest visual of the area if you did get out. Did the answering machine trick too. There are plenty of areas well above sea level I think the GPS said we were 55 feet ^...

Can someone point me to a thread or two about police enforcement on the beach becoming more aggressive? Open can container, being in the water on red flags, etc. drawing tickets. Under 18 curfews? Also, a friend who was renting in Grayton said a house next door got raided because someone...

Like a small deck, installing hurricane shutters etc. looking for a personal recommendation for reliable ethical person. Thx Red

Haven't logged on in awhile and was thinking of selling a house and a lot and just curious as to current market conditions. What's it like out there, All opinions welcome. Lot in Seagrove and house in SRB thx, Red

Hey All, I'm in need short term storage for a 24 foot boat, 30-60 days. Wet or dry. Anyone ever use Marina Village and Yacht Club in Freeport or know anything about them. Or if not, who have you used around 30-a for short term boat storage? thx, R

Caught a handful of pomps and 7 bluefish from the surf around Ed Walline a few weeks back on a 2 dropper rig and w/fleas and plastics...Red BTW, if anybody's gonna fish in the Harborwalk Cobia Tournament this year, book your charter days now... I got mine... And the 2008 GCKFA Spring...

Really?..Feels more like 1998 to me...Red

I guess you'll never know...It must be hard to be so completely invested in another's demise...Oh well...Red

Why don't you take your own advice and join me @ the auction...Oh wait, now I remember...

I guess I won't see Shelly there...Ah, to be able to $hit on everything from the sidelines...

Well good, I can see there's one person who can respond to the actual question? Good for you and hope to see ya...

? I thought I might...Standard check entry and minimums...Red

Yes there is..."Downloadable existing home sale statistics"...on the right...back to 1994

Its really a shame to have it happen exactly when the fish begin schooling up...Has anyone seen fishkills back by 331 bridge or has it been strictly in the gulf

Anybody smelling anything or seeing dead fish today? Apparently the beaches from Destin to Pensacola are littered w/tens of thousands of dead fish

Why are you backing off calling these agents crooked...Your own word was "Everyone"...It sounds more like an indictment than "Live and let live" Addl'ly, your "profit motive" seems even less clear than your "mysterious bottom call"...Unless its just to whine about your bankruptcy filings and...

I realize you believe the agents here are "crooked" but what's the harm in throwing out type, price, location, agent's info and get the ball rolling...I'm sure if your agent is an "ace", she'll be able to sift thru the crud on your behalf...You never know, the perfect plot may be out there...

Quantify "bottomed out"...Sounded to me like you were ready to go

Hey Cap, if your really in the mkt...Why don't you put your parameters and the realtors contact info on the board and see if one of these agents can find something for you?...Red

There is an updated report from FWC as of yesterday....Its concentration here (Dune Allen) is reported as high....Till this point, we had tested negative even though everybody knows its here... http://research.myfwc.com/features/view_article.asp?id=9670#Rpt Sorry for everyone tryin to...

Have the conditions gotten any better on the beach?...Red

FWC's 10/5 report said "high" right outside St. Andrews Bay and "low" in Destin Pass but none at Dune Allen...Anybody still gettin a good whiff and if so, where?...

Sorry, I didn't ask if they were moving the "building" but if it would reopen somewhere else...

Sorry if this has been covered, but I thought Oli said that if 331 closed for road construction that it would just open again down the road...Has something changed or is this because of the Seabar thing?....Red

So is what your saying that when you see a sfr being built with a concrete block first floor frame that its a significant upgrade and not part of code now?...Red

I've got a good friend who was quoted approx. $178 including some upgrades...that's the reason I posed the original question to see if that was average...What the code regarding concrete first floors, I thought it was a requirement w/in certain distance to the beach but am obviously wrong...What...

I didn't realize that when I asked the question, people would try to dazzle with word parsing and no answers...If you haven't built recently, there is no need to comment...If you have, I'd just like to know where you built and your approx. cost/sq...Red

What's a reasonable cost/sq.ft. now versus a year ago...Has anyone built recently enough to quote accurately?...

Are they subject to whats delivered or do they get to choose?...Red

I realize everyone's upset at Mike, but have you been to the dog track in Ebro...Tracks have been killing greyhounds for years...Why wasn't everybody mad then?...Red
