A home is just that, home, we raise our families here, enjoy years of memories and learn how to be a responsible shepard by keeping the property in good condition for the next owner. It is time to stay in one place and become a good neighbor, active citizen of your town and proud home owner......... The investment return is happiness and no dollar amount the home increases will ever matter once you look at the place you live with your eyes open. It is time for a change my friends and it starts by realizing investing in homes had a negative affect on a section of our society that we as leaders are supposed to protect.....the average home owner just wanted a nice place to live and many of us betrayed them by trying to flip new construction homes which left homes vacant due to inventory we couldn't move fast enough......... Credit needs to flow again so we can move owners in to these homes........credit needs to be forgiven since every company runs off of debt and we bailed out numerous private industry giants........it's time to heal and live in joy........wish the best for your family and the stranger...... If you own a company, well it's time to expand and invest in your employees.........Life is a circle and holding on to profits is a joke in the corporate world....also expecting a company to continue double digit profit growth is insane, steady profit is a sign of a healthly company......life is meant to be good for everyone, that doesn't mean give your fortune away if you are rich, but it does mean we should avoid earning our fortunes through the misery of others.....keep that in mind the next time you short a stock or hunt for foreclosed bargains..........it is by his grace you are not on the short end of the stick and if you continue to take advantage of that grace without giving back, well tables turn to return society to harmony........

There's something called the Jamestown Effect which proposes people need 7 years to forget a natural disaster and rebuild in 'harm's way,' (such as at less than 20 feet above sea-level.)

Just think of all the fun things that go with it: floods,hurricanes,high insurance premiums, rotting wood,the stench of salt water,never ending HIGH maintenance,very vulnerable intrusion factor - being on the water is easy access onto the property by nefarious types-the list goes on. And all of the updating. The owners better lower the price more or give allowances/incentives to buyers. Oh oh oh: I want a water front house.

I'll stop there; many more significant, cheap ideas to sell these people's home. Don't think they should have to take such a $$$ hit on it!

Beautiful place but NO THANK YOU! Truly amazes me they will build a home on a concrete foundation right on the water, I am sure they must have endured water up to the rafters for Ike.
