There were 129 homes that sold for over $1mil in 2010 of which 22 were either a short sale or Foreclosure. Some of these properties were amazing buys and we will look at the 5 most expensive short sales and foreclosures sold in 2010 on 30A and Destin. In 2009 Scenic 30A made the top 3 list of most expensive distressed homes sold, however in 2010 Destin and Miramar Beach captured 4 of the 5 top spots. Also of interest is that all 5 of the most expensive homes sold are short sales.

There was a significant amount of premium inventory moved in 2010 and we expect a shortage of great buys as our inventory levels are down from 14,000 units in 2006 to 7,800 units in 2010! This is 44% decrease in available inventory. Once we have less than 12 months of available inventory…which we are very close…we will see a market shift from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market.
Most of the premium distressed property sold under multiple offer scenarios and with some selling well over offer price. For example, a WaterSound Condo foreclosure had 8 offers in 24 hours and sold for $256,000 above the offer price of $849,900.
If you are looking to buy a premium distressed property now is the time to buy as the inventory is going quick!
