What is Going On With Destin Condos For Sale?



There has been and will be a lot of talk about how bad the real estate market is as it relates to Destin Condos For Sale.  Let’s take a quick look at the loudest the chatter out there right now. 

No one will buy Destin Condos if there is oil washing up on the beaches.  Maybe, but let’s look at the realty: 

In the last 7 days 35 Condos went under contract which means 35 people believe that now is a great time to buy a condo in Destin, Okaloosa Island or in South Walton County.

 If you could get a great deal on a Gulf Front Condo that you intend to hold for a long time you may be willing to see things from a glass half full perspective –right?  Okay, there is going to be oil on the beaches and this summer rental season will not be so good I’m pretty sure the oil won’t be as bad as some people fear.  I don’t believe that there will be oil lapping up as far as the eye can see – I do believe the more likely event will be that “slicks” (large ones being 100 feet and small one being the size of a pancake) will randomly wash up on a beach and when they do the beach will be closed for a few hours while the slick is cleaned up.  Once it is cleaned up the beach will be open as usual. 

  • Will it be an inconvenience?  Yes – absolutely. 
  • Will people come to the beach knowing every once in a while they will be inconvenienced?  Yes – absolutely.   

Should you Buy a Condo On The Beach?

If you buying a condo on the beach and expect a strong summer rental season to help you subsidize your mortgage then I would say no, do not buy a condo right now.  BUT if your plan is to Get A Great Deal On A Destin Area Condo that you plan to hold and use or even rent out then absolutely go out and find the best deal you can because the stars are aligned for you.  Because of the oil some sellers freaking out and taking low offers, inventory is still plentiful, banks are lending money cheap … all in all it is an incredible time to buy real estate at the beach.

3 Secrets About Destin Short Sales.

Watersound Short Sale

Destin Short Sales- including this beautiful Watersound condo – are a great way to get a fantastic deal on a condo at the beach. There is no question about it.  The thing is they can be a little frustrating for both buyers looking for deals and seller’s looking to get out from underneath a crushing debt so let me offer three simple comments that will make the process better for you. 

Be Patient

Destin Short Sales often take as long as six months to run their course.  I think the reason it takes so long is because there are so many people trying to do them and not nearly enough bank ”case workers” to handle the paperwork load causing much of the delays.  So go into the process knowing it could take a while.

It’s all about the appraisal  

If you are buying or selling a Destin Short Sale be sure that you make or accept an offer that has a chance to appraise or you will find yourself frustrated and extremely dissapointed at best or losing out on a property you could have had at worst.  Keep in mind that the bank won’t do a deal at less than “fair market value” and will hire an appraiser to determine what that number is so your offer should be as close to the number the appraiser comes up if you want a successful out come. 

Have a good realtor

Short sales produce great deals for buyers and relieve crushing debt for sellers but they are very time consuming and complex so it’s very important to use a realtor that knows how to determine “fair market value”, market the property to secure a “qualified” buyer, set expectations to reduce stress to both buyers and sellers, prepare and present necessary bank documents, and negotiate with banks.  If you are missing any of these the odds of a successful outcome is greatly reduced.

5 Acceptable Hardships For Short Sales

1/2 Price Sale at Sterling Shores : Click on picture for details

Has the real estate investment game changed for you leaving you upside down on your condo, house or land at the beach?

It has for a lot of people and many of these folks are turning to short sales to get out from underneith the mounting financial pressure that comes from owing these properties. Simply stated a short sale is when you sell for less than what is owed on the mortgage and the bank accepts the amount.

Why would the bank do this? Well lets say your financial picture has changed since you bought the property and you are now facing a “financial hardship” that has put you in a position of not being able to make your payments and the possibility of foreclosure is looming. In cases where foreclosure is likely it makes sense for the bank to negotiate a short sale because it is generally costs the bank much less than if they have to take the property back, maintain it while marketing it to a new buyer – all with the possibility of getting less than what was on the table as a short sale.

What are acceptable hardships?

According to HUD – the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development – there are many valid reasons and hardships to be acceptable for default.  Here are 5 of them.

  1. Death of Principal Borrower
  2. Serious Illness of Principle Borrower
  3. Marital Problems (Divorce, Separation)
  4. Unemployment
  5. Lessened Income

These are only 5 of the “Acceptable Hardships for Short Sales” and there are many others so if you are considering a short sale and would like more information about acceptable hardships or any other questions relating to short sales simply contact Keller Williams Realty’s At The Beach Team today and we will be happy to help.
