Are Any Homes Selling On 30A? Yes!

This 30A House went under contract this week!

This 30A House went under contract this week!

This oil has a lot of people – buyers and sellers – spooked that is for sure.  I keep hearing people say that nothing is going to sell and nobody would buy real estate on 30A while there is oil in the Gulf of Mexico and washing up on our beaches. 

 Let’s see what the facts tell us.  In the last 7 days there have been 10 houses on 30A go under contract.  Not a ton but still more than 1 per day.   

Search 30A Foreclosures

 Are they all foreclosures and short sales? Almost, of the 10 properties to go under contract 7 were short sales or foreclosures and 1 was an auction.  So 8 out of 10 were distressed sales. 

Search 30A Real Estate

Are they just low end properties?  I wouldn’t say that – the low list price was 249,900, the high was $3,999,975 and the average list price for the 10 was $990,667.

The Bottom Line?  There are a lot of really good deals out there so if you are a buyer this is your time.  If you are a seller be prepared to get down and dirty so you can compete with the short sales and foreclosures.

Using IRAs to buy real estate

Six reasons to tap retirement funds now to buy rental property

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — One of today’s soundest investments is never touted in financial-services ads. The reason: Wall Street wouldn’t make any money off it.

Since 1974, Americans have had the ability to use IRA assets to buy investment property. Yet the means to do that — called a self-directed IRA — remains one of the least known and unheralded investment vehicles in the vast financial marketplace. [Read more...]
