beach viewBeach front and beach view lots are starting to increase in value again and people are, once again, flocking to the water. Maybe it is because spring is here, maybe because the fish are biting again, or maybe it is just because people just enjoy the beach and the serenity that looking over the water provides.

As an avid water-lover myself, I love working in the waterfront homes market. It does not matter if I am out admiring waterfront homes, or if I am helping someone come up with that perfect house to put on a gorgeous water view lot.

Beach front lots and beach view lots will always, barring unforeseen circumstances, increase in value. Hurricane Katrina, an anomaly by almost any standard, created a lot of vacant landscapes just aching to be filled with homes again and you can go to any waterfront community and see that people are starting to fill that landscape, many with larger, nicer, and stronger homes designed to take higher wind loads and elevated to help protect against rising storm surge in anticipation of future hurricanes. Gulf Oaks Oak Tree ViewWhen I first saw these elevated homes, I was not impressed with the height and thought that it looked kind of “funny”, but that is because it was not a standard. Now, I find myself really loving these homes because it gives plenty of room for parking and still room for entertaining under the home, really giving hundreds of square feet of additional, usable outdoor space.

If you are considering looking at beach front, beach view, or any other waterfront homes or lots to build your dream home on – contact me and let someone who loves the view as much as you help you discover your new, serene landscape in a way that maybe you had not thought of. After all, there is some advantage to seeing hundreds of waterfront homes and lots 🙂

Long Beach MS Real Estate Market Jan 2010 http://mscoastrealty.com/real-estate-market/long-beach-ms-real-estate-market-jan-2010/ http://mscoastrealty.com/real-estate-market/long-beach-ms-real-estate-market-jan-2010/#respond Sun, 17 Jan 2010 23:06:16 +0000 http://mscoastrealty.com/?p=738

Long Beach MS is known as the “Friendly City” here in south Mississippi. Don’t let its small size fool you though. Long Beach is a short trip to Gulfport and shopping for day to day items is a very short distance to the Pass Christian Wal-Mart or either of two grocery stores.

Long Beach has been working steadily on a complete renovation of its downtown area after Katrina and has been making great bounds in use and aesthetics. This community, which is easy access to the beach for most residents has seen outstanding improvements in the renovation of the downtown area as well as the beach.

Homes for sale in Long Beach MS can easily be found by searching the MLS right here on this site, or I can send you a customized email list of properties for Long Beach or any other area on the MS Coast if you contact me.

BeachFront and BeachView Lots http://mscoastrealty.com/real-estate-investing/beachfront-and-beachview-lots/ http://mscoastrealty.com/real-estate-investing/beachfront-and-beachview-lots/#respond Wed, 27 May 2009 03:14:38 +0000 http://mscoastrealty.com/?p=447

BeachFront Lots for Sale in South MS

BeachFront Lots for Sale in South MS

Beachfront or beach view lots and homes for sale on the MS coast have reached rock-bottom prices! In the area of Long Beach and Pass Christian MS there are currently 168 near beach lots listed on the MLS (SEARCH MLS) market for sale ranging from $25,000 up to $6,700,000. The information contained in this post is based off of the Multiple Listing Service data (MLS) for beach view and beachfront lots for sale and does not include the multitude of other opportunities we have on file for unlisted and FSBO near beach lots. We make a living digging for information and providing it to you!

 

The actual sold properties, per MLS, is a mere 15. This means that less than 10% of the current beach view lot inventory has actually closed within the last 12 months. The closed prices ranged from $25,000 up to $1,00,000 in the Long Beach & Pass Christian area. Due to the ridiculous listed to closed percentage this is the best opportunity I’ve ever seen to own premier non-reproducible lots for less money than reproducible-inland lots! This means appreciation potential galore!

Long Beach and Pass Christian are known as the quiet coastal towns here on the Mississippi Coast. Long Beach and Pass Christian both have excellent school districts and are rich in local culture and opportunity. I currently live with a beach view myself on an extremely quiet street in “The Friendly City” of Long Beach. It’s marvelous. The sunsets are fantastic and the Gulf breezes are refreshing. The beaches in Pass Christian are also far less crowed than those of Gulfport & Biloxi.

The beachfront lots for sale in Long Beach start at $170,000 for unlisted property. Interior lots for sale with beach views start in the mid to high $20,000 range. Large beach view lots can be bought from $30,000-$50,000 on and off the MLS market. Of course the best deals are usually found when you work with a local buyer’s agent who knows of the unlisted lots for sale and charges the seller a smaller commission. As everyone knows, every penny counts – Always!

Due to our web presence, we have been contacted by many builders interested in building at reduced prices. The national news has stated that the new construction industry has effectively been in a “depression,” and builders are cutting costs in efforts to stay busy. When you combine our independent research, the excessive number of beach view lots available, and the builders’ economic state you find yourself in the perfect environment to invest into a beachfront home. If your dream has been to get on the water, then let us help you make it a reality at the best location & price possible.

We have new construction vacation homes starting as low as $80,000! This is raised on concrete pilings, metal roof, concrete board siding, granite, all appliances, huge decks and much more. We also have excellent insurance reducing options that can save you up to 75% on the cost of insurance!

We are your beachfront & beach view lots & new construction leaders on the MS Coast. Click contact us or give us a call for more information. I’ll see you on the beach!

Waterfront Lots MS Coast http://mscoastrealty.com/communities/waterfront-communities/waterfront-lots-ms-coast/ http://mscoastrealty.com/communities/waterfront-communities/waterfront-lots-ms-coast/#respond Wed, 22 Apr 2009 17:46:53 +0000 http://mscoastrealty.com/?p=424

Waterfront lotAs an avid fisherman, and my love for boating and being on the water, it will not surprise you that I spend a lot of time looking at waterfront lots all along the coast. I can find the beauty in waterfront lots in Pass Christian or Bay St Louis because of the quaint, quiet feel of a small town, or I am just as at home with a nice waterfront property in major areas of Biloxi or Ocean Springs.

Gulfport provides some nice waterfront lot availabilities on Gulfport lake, rivers, etc. D’Iberville is probably more noted for the Tchoutacabouffa river and Bay, most notably for its huge growth over the past few years and gaming areas along the bay that have been approved.

Waterfront lots all along the Mississippi Coast have their own unique feel to them and when you are looking to build your dream home on the water, it makes sense to contact someone who loves the water as much (or more) than you do.

Whether you are looking to buy or sell waterfront property (land or home), contact me to discuss and put someone to work for you that will be dedicated to your needs and wants.

I will even give you some help stocking your freezer with fish from your dock 🙂
