This oil has a lot of people - buyers and sellers - spooked that is for sure. I keep hearing people say that nothing is going to sell and nobody would buy a condo in the Destin Area while there is oil in the Gulf of Mexico and washing up on our beaches.
Let's see what the facts tell us. In the last 7 days there have been 30 condos in the Destin Area went under contract. Not a ton but still almost 5 per day.

Are they all foreclosures and short sales? Most, of the 30 properties to go under contract 20 were short sales or foreclosures. So 66% were distressed sales.
Are they just low end properties? I wouldn't say that - the low list price was 72,900, the high was $585,000 and the average list price for the 30 was $225,324.

The Bottom Line? There are a lot of really good deals out there so if you are a buyer this is your time. If you are a seller be prepared to get down and dirty so you can compete with the short sales and foreclosures.
