If you do not want direct bayfront you price point is realistic. There are condos available in that range. If you would like you can e-mail me at http://www.mpompa.com and I will send you some listings that will meet your needs.

Russ,

As you are aware, there are an abundance of condos on the market in OCMD. So what distinguishes a great deal from a good one? PRICE and LOCATION! Of course!

Well there is this condo complex on 28th st. on the bay. I have bought one myself and sold another to friend! They are a small one bedroom, one bath and some have balcony’s others have finished them into an extended living room. They are quite sufficient and great economy units that can rent quick if you ever need quick cash or are in a bind. More importantly they have gorgeous views of the canal! Most have boat docks which are included in the price. The condo fee is about $190 a month but includes isurance, water and sewer, and even the electric it takes to heat those long showers! Now i must warn you - these are not directly on the bay - but they are in the $140,000 range and well worth it!!!!

Sound like a winner?

PS…Monica brings up a good point but don’t be discouraged. There are a few smaller local banks I can introduce you to who are looking for qualified buyers and are willing to wheel and deal more than ever!

Russ,
I think since you live in Rockville, Maryland, you are probably inquiring about Ocean City, Md.

We can find you something for $175K or less, it's the direct bay front that maybe tough. One of the more moderately priced bayfront communities is Bayspot Condominiums located on 52nd Street (which is a mid town location). However, they start in the low $200's. It's close.

Very important in today's market is understanding condominium financing if you are planning on gettting a loan. I attached a web reference to an article I wrote relating to obtaining condo mortgages. Check it out.

Also, go to http://www.Ocean-CitySales.com and you can see all properties currently for sale in Ocean City.

I remain available to help.

My best from the Beach.

Hello Russ,

If you were referring to Ocean City, MD, there are just a few properties on the water under $200,000. Most were smaller than the 800 SF you mentioned. However, I did find a few which indicated sellers may consider offers that were priced higher. I would be happy to share some of these possibilities with you. Feel free to contact me for available properties.

Kind regards,
