September Real Trend Report

The real story there is in the dollar values. Also, the party responsible for tracking the foreclosures isn't looking very hard. I wonder how accurate this really is? Thanks for posting Sally.

Just looking at the line graph it looks like we're still in the old pattern of more activity in the Summer, just like rentals.

Anyone know why sales of vacant lots was so much higher in Sept. 2007 than Sept. 2006? The average price was down from about $130k to under $80k. Was there a large sale of cheaper lots in North Walton?

foreclosures take a long time to filter through the system. you also have a deed in lieu of foreclosure as a possibility

This morning I noticed an interesting article on the News Herald website regarding construction and real estate trends in Panama City Beach. Apparently, the article is one of a three-part series on the real estate market in PCB. Thought some of you might find this interesting. I've posted the link below:

I've highlighted one of the quotes that seems to indicate some time before the real estate market in PCB recovers...

"Before real estate market values can appreciate again, the glut of both condo units and single-family homes will have to be absorbed, Realtors admit. That could take between four and six years for the resort condo market, several recent studies predicted."

There's that word "glut" again...

Interesting point about St JOE continuing development of Breakfast Point--will have to wait for their conference call in a couple of weeks to see where that is going under their recent program to "accelerate value creation."

As an interesting aside, Beazer was tapped to build homes at Breakfast Point. (Google: Beazer+fraud+lending+FBI+restate+earnings)
