Keep the spirit of summer alive with these 4 stunning beach properties

Have you ever returned from a relaxing weekend getaway at the beach and thought, what if I owned my own vacation condo? Well, you’re not the only one. Beachfront properties are super popular, and it’s no surprise why. We spoke with an agent from LAH Real Estate who specializes in beachfront properties to learn more. 

Have you ever thought about why beachfront properties are so popular (besides the obvious)? 

“Owning a beach property helps tie you to the community. There are these small pockets of walkable communities with local restaurants, parks, lakes and more that really add to the hometown feel.”

Reba Myer, LAH Real Estate

Recently, interest in beach condos has risen due to COVID-19. People still love visiting the beach, but the crowded, popular tourist areas can be a bit uncertain. Rather than stay at a hotel and visit the same old public beach, beachgoers are drifting towards condo ownership—a place to go that’s theirs. 

• Easy Access: Birmingham is a short 4-hour drive from the Gulf Coast—perfect for a weekend getaway.
• Become Part of the Community: With your own property, you can discover authentic areas of the beach while staying away from the tourist-y areas.
• Earn Passive Income: With a beach property, you can take a quick trip to the beach whenever you’d like, plus earn passive income by renting the property out in the meantime.

According to LAH Real Estate, now is the perfect time to consider a beach property. Interest rates for housing loans are the lowest we’ve seen in years, and on top of that, rental prices are trending higher year over year. 

“It’s a great time to buy. Right now, mortgage rates are staying steadily low while rental prices are increasing. Developers are still building, especially in the Destin and 30A areas, which is a sign that people really want to live there.”
