Waterfront properties coming within reach

The plunge in South Florida real estate values is prompting sellers and marketers of waterfront property to make their pitch for shorefront sales. They’re calling it a great investment, since many properties are now in foreclosure or will be short sales. Properties on wide water — oceans and rivers — have especially long-term value, according to Richard Webb, a broker at Coldwell Banker-Ed Schlitt Realtors in Brevard County. The average selling price of an area home on wide water in 2005 was $817,000. That rose to $895,000 in 2006 and $1.004 million in 2007 before falling back to $839,000 last year. [Florida Today]
