I am suddenly getting a lot of inquiries on two oceanfront properties that are “REOs”—real estate owned by the bank after foreclosure. I’ve blogged about both of these oceanfront homes before, but right now I’m getting the same questions over and over, probably because buyers are starting to get serious about the details.

Sunsets like this one, from August 10th, still take my breath away—the colors are incredible! Sunsets are one of the things I’m absolutely in love with [...]
