Are Condo's in the Atlantic City area a good buy now in 2009?

My take on this issue is that all real estate in a soft market is a good value if you are looking at it as a vacation home. What makes the Atlantic City area very attractive is the central location to the largest metro markets in the country. One third of the population in the country is within a three and a half hour drive to this gambling and beach resort. No one can deny the fact that it is still a 12 month, 24/7 entertainment attraction that is fun and capitivating.

Supply and demand of condo's at the beach are starting to dry up and we have a six to 12 month supply. This inventory can be spread out to a large price range and styles of properties. To find a shore home or check out condo inventory you can visit websites like www.Realtor.com or www.Cyberhomes.com .

On a cost basis developers can't buy land and build many condo's at these reduced prices so until this over supply of property is depleted buyers are in the drivers seat. Keep in mind these reduced prices are just that reduced. So tread lightly are look for properties that are placed right and grab them up. units that are priced right are going to sell within five to ten percent of their asking prices.

Make sure to pick an experienced REALTOR to help you determine what's available and what's a good buy. If you have any comments about this or properties in the Atlantic City area feel free to let me know! Thanks, Ian Lazarus
