Realtor Writes to Local Paper

Go halfway down the page to see the full letter to the editor.


"Always a market

for shore property

I read the Aug. 19 story, "A.C., O.C. real estate overpriced, study says." I agree with some of the evaluations, however, not all. I have been involved in the Ocean City market since 1958 when my uncle purchased his first property, and I have owned in Ocean City for 20 years myself.

We have a very high demand for investment and second-home properties and a very limited supply. We have many investors who are buying more than one home.

My accountant told me that baby boomers' parents, who were savers, will leave $5 trillion of inheritance money to their children, who are investors. Do you think that a good percentage of that money will be going into real estate at the shore?"

Everybody who doesn't buy now will be priced out forever. Anybody who does buy will be rewarded with a lifetime of riches, as their property will continue its 25% yearly price increase. Renters, and anybody born in a future generation, will not be able to afford a $5,000,000 starter home in 15 years. They will live in tent cities, and hondas. This asset bubble is different than all of the others - it will never slow down, or pop. The gains are permanent.
