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.

$3.2 million :eek: Notice it is not Gulf front. Location - Blue Mtn Beach

This one makes 49 Buttercup look like a bargain at $3.4M

I know that house. Family in DeFuniak recently sold for 1.6 and the new owner is trying to flip it. I'd laugh my large body parts off if they got stuck holding it (I'm mean that way!)

Of course, if it sells for 3.2, my brother's family will have the one next door for sale in a heartbeat... :shock:

Yes, they recently bought it at $1.6M, put it back on at $2.6M, and over the weekend raised it to $3.2M. It looks as though it may become Gulf-front if we get some more hurricanes.

Obviously someone hasn't been reading the stuff about the real estate market slowing :idontno:

Wow!
You guys are blowing {what we laughingly refer to as} my mind.
Quite a thread so far. Can't imagine what the winner would be.

Is there a prize for nominating the actual winner, or should the prize go to the listing agent of the winning property? I think the prize should be a fancy SoWal sticker.

I have several great nominees. Anyone want to see my number two pick? It could be a number one. My number three pick could also be a number one.

She's a real bute, Clark. So pretty that the photographer was awestruck and forgot to take the photo of the house, but here is one of the yard.

I found a nominee!!

MLS 386218

Yes, it is beachfront (121 feet, in SRB). However; read this - "PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD "AS IS WHERE IS" WITH NO WARRANTIES.SELLER SAYS THE STRUCTURE, POOL, AND POOL DECK HAVE BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL HURRICANES AND HAVE CRACKS FROM SETTLING WHICH HAS AFFECTED ITS FOUNDATION. BUYER MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THESE DEFECTS AND OR CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN DISCLOSED AND ACCEPT THE STRUCTURE AND IT'S APPURTENANCES "AS IS WHERE IS" IN THEIR CURRENT CONDITION."

The price for this paradise?? $8,625,000 !!

No, it is not on the Bay. I think the only possible water feature may be an irrigation system for the roof-top lawn. :floor:

My husband has pointed that house out to me before - if I remember correctly, it's on West Bay Loop. Nice acreage, though.

Are you thinking any remaining crack might be of some value to justify the price? :biggrin:
