Casa Del Mar Condos Galveston

Casa Del Mar condos have been a staple diet for Galveston visitors and buyers alike for over 20 years. The adored condo complex sits right on the beach at 61st and Seawall. The old cedar siding has been recently replaced with new siding and all of the balconies have been replaced. This was all courtesy of a 20,000 per unit assessment which has just been paid in full for most all owners. The units have dipped in price from a high of about 70k-130k to 50k-120k. The price depends on the floor and proximity to the beach. These low prices will land you a unit that can rent for between 6,000/yr and 12,000/yr.

There are a good number of units on the market, but if furnished they can bring in a good amount of rental income.

I have now sold 3 in 3 months! The latest one is a 3/2 beachview for under 300k! What a deal!!!

Playa San Luis

I really enjoy getting to know Galveston and one of my personal favorites is Playa San Luis. The neighborhood has a lot to offer and is tucked away on Galveston's west beach. The neighborhood offers a pool, walk under from the pool side of FM 3005 to the beach side, and multiple dune walkovers. The beaches are patrolled by Galveston county sheriffs and vehicles are not allowed. The sands are expansive along with the dunes. In current reports Playa San Luis beaches are accreting rather then eroding. The layout of the neighborhood is ingenious allowing every home to have a beach view

Sea Isle Galveston Texas

Sea Isle is a great family retreat that has enjoyed years of growth. Sea Isle is a mixed neighborhood with new and old homes, homes of all sizes, and homes of all shapes. But it works.  When I visited clients on the last 4th of July we had a blast meeting other families and driving around on the golf carts. The local restaurant had karaoke and everyone was out and about. Homes have appreciated here significantly in the last few years and are currently holding steady. The homes range from dry land to canal to beach. Prices range from 120k to near one million. Whether you are looking for a retirement community or just for a second home Sea Isle might be just what you're looking for...

Playa San Luis Galveston

 

Playa San Luis is a premier neighborhood on the island. You will never find too many homes for sale in the area. The last time I looked there were two. The beaches have appeal in Playa San Luis because they are accreting. This means the beaches get bigger each year. The area has many dune walk overs and prohibits vehicular traffic so the beaches are a safer place.  Playa San Luis also has large easements that allow homes away from the beach great beach views. Ryson Real Estate and Vacation Rentals have a small 2 bedroom that was very popular in our rental pool. Even though it was 10 homes back from the beach it did over $27,000 in income. The market here is very firm and ranges in price from $330k- over 1 million. It has the potential for custom builds also and the lots start in the $90k range.

Pointe West market report

Pointe west is a great development poised to capitalize on Galveston's surge in second homes and vacation rentals. The community is based around a community center with work out facilities, pool, bar, restaurant, and much more. Pointe West Galveston also features large park lands, lazy river, pedestrian and gold cart trails, and "private" beach. The market is sluggish for homes and condos in Pointe West, but rentals are doing great. I just talked to a few owners who had great rental incomes. One owner had over $30,000 on his condo, and another have over $50,000 on his beach house.  Now is the time to buy as some owners want out and are sacrificing price for a fast sale. Both homes and condos are available; condos and in the low 200's and a beachfront home can be bought for under 600k.
