There is just something about living on the water that nothing else seems to match in terms of quality of life. Sitting on your deck in the early evening, looking over the open water or bayous, sipping an evening cocktail while enjoying the company of a loved one or close friend, or even sitting out in your back yard, fishing pole in hand, chatting with your kids. There is simply so much to enjoy from waterfront living and there is a reason the waterfront properties sell at a premium.

I spend a lot of time researching and viewing waterfront properties, and even more-so on the Biloxi Bay and the navigable waterways in the area. Due to Katrina, an anomaly by any standard, there are a lot of great deals still to be found on waterfront properties on and around the Biloxi Bay. Whether you are looking for the convenience and low maintenance of a condo at Anatole Bay or Bay Cove, or you are looking to build an upscale home at Langley Point – I can help if you contact me.

There are currently numerous lots on the Biloxi Bay, starting around the $100k+/- range, and there are more protected waterfront communities within minutes by boat to the bay starting in the $60k+/- range. May of these communities have many like-minded individuals that will share your enthusiasm for the water and fun and some have community use items such as pools and clubhouses.

Biloxi MS waterfront condos have finally started to see some reason in their pricing. Two and three years ago, I would have told you not to touch any of the large condo developments because they were drastically overpriced for our market and only appealed to out of state investors who “thought” they would appreciate. This of course was not the case, many of them went into foreclosure or short sales, and others are starting to see the truth of the market – now is the time to really get serious about buying a waterfront condo in Biloxi.

For the past few years, the only waterfront condo development I would have anything to do with was Anatole Bay. Anatole bay condos rest on the south side of the Biloxi bay and host many amenities including a nice swimming pool, clubhouse, and boat slips for all owners that is has power and water to the slips. While it is an older development, many of the units have been upgraded to today’s standards and prices start right around $200k, although occasionally a unit wil pop up lower.

If you are looking more at beachfront condos, there are several to choose from but probably the two favorite in Biloxi are Ocean Club and SeaBreeze. Ocean Club concerns me a bit because I have heard that due to a high investor pool  that are not paying their HOA dues, the HOA may be on shaky ground. It is important that I have not had any clients looking at this development recently so I have not personally verified this information and would do so at the point that it was necessary. The SeaBreeze beachfront condos on the other hand is a much better investment and one of only a few condo developments on the coast that are directly on the sand beach, plus, it is close to everything that Biloxi has to offer. This provides for not only a much more satisfying experience, but also a greater chance for future appreciation. SeaBreeze units are currently in the $300k+/- range.

Bay Cove and a few others show promise, but that is a subject for a different post

Living on the water is about as serene as it gets. Whether you enjoy sitting on your deck overlooking the waterway and boats, boating, fishing – it does not get much better for most. The Mississippi coast has two beautiful bays, St Louis Bay and Biloxi Bay, and bay front living doesn’t get much better.

There are several advantages to living on the bay.

1. You still have open water views with the next shore being far enough away that it does not impede view (great for those that get overwhelmed with water that goes on seemingly forever) but still with the ability to see the other shore line.
2. Great fishing! Many fish come in to the bays and estuaries to spawn, giving a very fertile fishing ground.
3. Slightly more protection from heavier waves you may experience on the front beach that contribute to erosion
4. Bays are typically more protected waters making it more functional to smaller boats or party barges (pontoons)
5. Cheaper for land and homes yet still easy access to the open gulf and all the benefits of living on the bay!

Bay front homes range in price and numerous lots are available starting in the $100k range making it very affordable to buy a lot and build your dream home. I have builders that do excellent, quality work starting in the $80’foot range.
