Hi Ann,

Have you found a condo that meets your needs? I know of a couple of good deals at the Ocean Grove and the Emerald. If you haven't found what you are looking for yet, I can send you information on these units.

Ann, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Please contact me for more options to explore and help Bring Crystal Beach Back!!! It is coming back stronger than ever!!! Wouldn't you love to be a part of this??? contact me @ shawn@kilgoreconstruction.com We are a family owned company that are homeowners on the Bolivar Peninsula as well!!! I look forward to hearing from you!!!

Ann,
If you are serious, I am aware of a unit at Emerald that the owner will consider a lease/purchase or possibly owner financing.

Ann, our pricing will probably not go down. We've experienced the busiest "high season" here in Galveston than we've had for the past 5 years. I would not expect pricing to go down, we've most likely experienced the lowest, things will go up from here. My best advice to you is if you're interested in a lease to buy situation, try looking into owner finance, and a straight lease until you get your financing in order for your next purchase. If I can help answer any more questions, feel free to email me. Good luck, and Take care! Lorna~

Take a look at Tiki Island right now. There is huge stock for sale and some juicy foreclosure deals. It's not like Crystal Beach in that it is now mostly people with second homes who like McMansions rather than beach shacks but it is easier to get to from Houston than anything on the West End or across the ferry but still has that far away, not in town anymore feeling. Lots of people who might otherwise have to foreclose might consider lease option. I'm going to put my place up for sale sometime soon (I will tell you they KILL you with the property taxes and insurance ain't cheap, but you probably know this from Bolivar) but it is probably smaller than what you are looking for.

Hi Ann,

I am so sorry for your loss. I do not think the Palisade or Emerald will come down because those properties were sold when real estate was at its highest prices. There are other residences on the beach that are selling for less. Please contact me and I will acquaint you with some other less expensive but nice condos.
