Thinking about buying real estate at the coast, give me a call, and let's see what is on the market. Not only have the rates dropped, but sellers have become more realistic about prices. There are some wonderful deals, ocean side for under $500,000...ocean view for just over $600,000....water view and access for under $500,000 .... give me a call!!
