re: Sandestin Real Estate Prices....where are they headed?

Interesting thread. Everyone is talking about the rental income picking up now, but no one is talking about the primary homes/income that will affect this. Even if rental income booms the next 2 months, a lot of these owners are probably small business owners who have had an income crunch the past 3 months and need capital to keep their primary business going, as well as making their payment on their primary house. Along with decreased demand from people not willing to shell out a few grand for a week on the beach.

How does someone with a stable income during these times make a good investment? 1-2 BR condo on the beach? SFH a few blocks away from the beach?
