Here’s where the story becomes interesting:

Of these 2,342 Oceanfront condos, 59 of them are Bank Owned properties.  Of these REO’s, 26 are currently under contract, 18 of them for cash, leaving us with only 33 Oceanfront REO’s on Active status.  So, of the “available” Oceanfront REO’s, 44% of them are already under contract, waiting to close.

In the past 90 days, 49 Oceanfront Bank Owned Condos have been sold.  Compare that with the current inventory and you have an 83% sell through.  Not too shabby, wouldn’t you agree?

I just closed on an oceanfront Bank Owned condo today.  In it’s heyday it was selling for over $680K.  Do you want to know the price my Clients bought it for?  Are you ready for this?  A 3BR/3BA, over 1,650 sq.ft. of Oceanfront Bliss, fully furnished for only $290,000!!!  Yup, incredible, but true!  Now, this REO Oceanfront condo thing is starting to add up, isn’t it?
