More affordable housing is on the way all over Walton county. I'm pretty sure I just saw 7 townhouses at auction in Heron's Watch. Value is a relative term is it not? I have a hard time seeing value of .08 acre lots at $250K. Now truthiness says Florida real estate is and always has been boom and bust. If you followed your "Madonna/Elvis" realtor advice to purchase in late 04/early 05 frenzy prices you fall into the boob/bust category probably. Our lovely commissioners are spending a great deal of time planning a bottom end housing neighborhood in Freeport. I'm sure all those low price homes are just what the high tech industry employees want. No i'm pretty sure nothing more than more service industry jobs are on the way for Walton. Florida is the sunshine state and could probably be a leader in solar and wind technology along with alternative fuels or green building products and technology industries. There is an abundance of I-10 corridor space and agricultural land available. There could be so much more to Walton than tourism and real estate.
