Alys, Rosemary, Watercolor

[Indigo Jill]

So being the go against the grain kind of person that you are, does that mean that you were selling your real estate holdings in 2003, 2004 and 2005 during the mad days of speculation, but now you are buying everything in sight during the "crash"? Likewise, in 1998 and 1999, were you selling all your equities and then you started scooping them up like crazy in 2001 and again in 2003, and now you are selling them off again?

Also, I guess that means the Hilton palace next to Rosemary is your favorite house along 30A.;-)

This thread was asking for opinions and that is what I'm giving ... my opinion. I'm not going to comment on my personal situation ;-) As we have discussed on another thread, I just really believe you and I aren't on the same page, fisher, and we just don't see eye to eye. It's ok!

I don't understand what you mean when you say "I guess that means the Hilton palace next to Rosemary is your favorite housing along 30A" means?? Please explain?

If you like Alys, but do not like the pricing. The developer seems to be finally reacting to the current state of the market. It appears that the developer is slashing prices on lots and homes (see separate thread on Alys Beach pricing). So, if you like Alys and you believe the market is near a bottom (not my opinion, but others feel differently), you might consider taking a second look and making a lowball offer on something that catches your eye.

Again, I know lots of people that have looked at Alys and the other areas you are interested in and the general consensus I hear (with a few exceptions) is that Alys is too monotone and too cramped. Very few people I know that have searched the area really like Alys after taking a hard look at the product and the community. On the other hand, these people seem to really be drawn to Watercolor and to a lesser extent Watersound due to the natural beauty of the developments and the amenities.

Good luck.

please refer to the alys beach thread for clarification on values incorrectly referenced here.

I tend to always go the opposite direction of the consensus and why I believe, as others have pointed out here, Alys will attract the "whos who" and hold value.

Indigo Jill,
I like the way you think! And you always state your opinion so nicely....:clap_1:

THIS IS JUST MY OPINION...When I grow up, I want a place in Alys Beach along with my place in WC. Best of both 30-A worlds to me.

That would take a big purse.
