I think Freeport has yet to sell a house to an end user in any number of it's brand spankin new RE developments...
Windswept, Hammock Bay, Canopies, Lagrange Landing, Cross Creek Est., etc, etc...
A town of 1,500 people with plans to build 4,000 residential dwelllings in a couple years... What a pipe dream!!!
FYI - Windswept, Hammock Bay, Canopies and Cross Creek all have end users who have bought. If you want to make specific statements as you did, perhaps you would like to use better research tools before looking like someone who doesn't know of that which they speak.
Furthermore, I guess your statement would have been more truthful if you were speaking about Seaside in 1982. Bobby, I am very familiar with Freeport, but cannot place Stanley Rd. Where is that located?
Do you really take everything someone says so damn serious as to not recognize the larger point that is being made??? Sure it was a generalization that NONE of them have been bought by end users... perhaps it would be better for me to say a VERY SMALL percentage...I agree with your statement about end users not being ready to fill the 4000+ properties in Freeport in the short term, but I don't want to sit quietly by, as you make comments, which aren't truthful, about specific developments. People who are unfamiliar with the area, may take my silence to mean that your statements are true. I only get picky if I need to be. If you want to speak in general terms, go right ahead, but don't confuse people with your specific statements worked into your general thoughts.
It is all besides the point that the RE people in Freeport have spouted out about all this growth within the next 2 years (4,000+ dwellings) for a town that currently supports a population of 1,200 people, according to the article...
All to get some uninformed people to buy some over inflated lots and houses so the developers and city can make some bucko bucks in the biggest RE bubble in history...
Notice you bring up Seaside in 1982... That is 24 years of growth...
The stats I am saying is the fact that they have planned 4,000+ properties in the span of 2 YEARS... slightly different timeframe...
I am not questioning the fact that Freeport will grow overtime... but to expect a town to grow 10-15 fold in a few years... thats a bit over the top.
BTW, the Seaside comment does apply. In 1982, the only history Seaside had was zero. It was a new development. The new developments located in Freeport also have zero history. It will take some time to fill these units, but 10 years from now, Freeport will resemble more of a town. If you are looking for an instant town, look elsewhere. The slower real estate market will quickly slow Freeport's growth too. However, Insurance, or the lack of, may push people up to Freeport, sooner rather than later.
