Gulf real estate sales still in jeopardy
[Ref: ABC News]
In Grand Isle, La., July-August usually is a busy season for most realtors. Interested buyers come to check out the available properties in this barrier island known for its July fishing rodeo, sandy beaches and vacation homes. But since the Gulf oil spill sent a sheen of oil into the island’s bay, Curole’s buyers have fled. First, they put closings on hold. Then they canceled contracts. Now she’s hoping to get some money from BP for lost commissions.
The beach is now clean, she says, but sales are still suffering. The buyers aren’t simply there. In coastal areas of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, the spill has whacked housing prices. Some residential and commercial development deals have fallen apart, and Realtors and brokers have watched demand falter as some buyers balk.
Most of the 4.9 million barrels of oil that gushed from the well have been contained, with about 26% dispersed into the waters, scientists at the Interior Department and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported this month. Waters most affected by the BP oil spill are largely between Louisiana state waters at the mouth of the Mississippi River and waters off Florida’s Pensacola Bay, according to the White House. There’s virtually no remaining threat to the Florida Keys or the East Coast, the government has said. But fears persist that property values could drop even in areas where the oil has not been spotted, and concerns that tar balls could wash up has been enough to sink some sales.
