I wonder how long it will take for the home values to recover from this? Oil will be coating the beaches for at least the next 6 months.

Meh. They sucked anyway because of oversupply, mortgage crisis, crappy economy, and expensive as da frick waterfront insurance.

Mine has been on the market since December. 4 people have called about it. None have looked at it.

that's bleak. we looked at a 4BR/3BA house in that development that backs up to the shopping center in OB--can't remember what it's called, but you can actually see the gulf from the front yard. anyway, it sold for like $230K or something. insurance wasn't too bad and hoa was only $250. I'm thinking if that sort of place comes down in the $100s, it MIGHT be worth picking up, but it's obviously a huge risk. plus, you can probably rent down there right now for a song, so hardly worth it to buy.

Conjecture on that they'll be having oil for the next 6 months or even at all.
