Coast Guard
MLS Zones Beaches East and Thomas Drive).
Coast Guard families will enjoy the many water recreation and
beach areas on Panama City Beach. Prices will face stiff
competition with Navy and retiree/tourist buyers. Many new homes
are stucco and on small lots with easy access to good schools and
recreation. Population and price increases are driving up prices
in the beaches area and many Coast Guard personnel will buy lots for
retirement needs and wait to build until they are permanent residents.
Homes in the newest subdivisions are getting hard to find and the prices
have steadily increased over the last three years.
Careful consideration should be given to
the size of home needed and the price per square foot. Garages
with workshops are very hard to find and pool homes are also seeing a
higher demand from many groups of buyers. Coast Guard personnel
can often find good buys in the MLS zone North and St Andrews. The
Lynn Haven area and the growth up highway 231 will provide good areas
for the serious home buyer to consider. Drive time will be at
least 30 minutes over the Hathaway bridge and the construction will
often cause tie up in traffic.
Aerial and satellite views will help make
decisions easier when the prices are similar or better. Newest
sub-divisions will be in the north end of Bay county and personnel will
pass the Gulf Coast Community College, FSU branch and many shopping
areas on a daily commute.
Each of the Bay County municipalities have
a different tax millage and the local links to county officials should
be researched carefully. Specific questions should be emailed.
