Multiple Offers Received. Bank taking highest and best offer by April 26th 2010 at 9am!

The Florida Court system has a back log of 1 million foreclosures…yes that is 1,000,000!! The courts are starting to churn through the foreclosures and no longer grant extensions or delays to lenders and owners. Walton County is pumping through foreclosures at a rate of 20 per week and we are beginning to see some prime properties come onto the market as Bank Owned.

This week's top distressed property pick in Grayton Cove is an awesome property. Not only is 20 Sand Reef Way in Grayton Cove a brand new home, it is in the most highly sought after price point along scenic 30-A…the $2OOK to $300K price point. Available inventory for homes in this price range is diminishing. At time of this post there are only 41 homes available in this price point, many of which are not top quality properties. The choices are getting very slim for buyers at this price range.

From the gleaming hardwood floors to the chair rail with wainscotting, this home will impress you.

Rosemary Beach Foreclosure 69 Johnstown Lane as Craig’s Top Distressed Property Pick for February 5 2010

Rosemary Beach is one of my favorite places on Scenic 30-A to enjoy the best of what the Emerald Coast has to offer. Friends and families converge in Rosemary Beach's downtown that defines the casual beach lifestyle with quaint restaurants, cafe's, and shopping. Rosemary Beach's architectural inspirations come from the West Indies that can be viewed by walking its meandering pedestrian paths and boardwalks that lead to some of the most pristine white sand beaches along the Emerald Coast. Homes sales in Rosemary Beach for 2009 were stagnant, but a recent surge in sales in January 2010 has sparked a new flame of interest from savvy buyers who can appreciate all that Rosemary Beach has to offer.

69 Johnstown Lane in Rosemary Beach is a Bank Owned REO and tops my Distressed Property pick for the week. This 4,100sf home is a steal at $329/sf considering most homes cost more than $400/sf to build in Rosemary. As one of the top destination along the Emerald Coast, Rosemary Beach enjoys a strong tourism season throughout the year bringing significant rental revenue to investment homes and the second home market. This in combination with Rosemary Beach's world wide notoriety and special financing by the bank of 3.5% interest rate makes 69 Johnstown Lane an excellent investment opportunity.
