I also agree with the other responses. This is a tough market if you need to sell now. What may help is obtaining three apraisals from three licensed appraisers. Basically, you throw out the high and the low appraisals and keep the middle for a basis. Ask the lender if this would be acceptable. This is the practice used by some corporate relo programs for establishing the value of employee homes of employees being transferred at company expense. I personally experienced this practice during my relo's when I worked for a large corporation (AT&T). It sets a fair market value based on current market conditions. This is worth the price of the appraisals when there is a large gap in price and value, and you need to make a financial decision as you are doing. It was alway my luck to be moved in a declining market. Another option is to sub-divide the 22 acres and sell off the parcels. That may require a rezone for density, but could be worth it. Sub-dividing and re-zoning may actually increse the value of the 22 acres on paper. Consult with a local commercial realtor who specializes in deveopment. - Wed Jul 2 2008, 09:31

Hi Marion & Jean,
Sarasota is absolutely the best choice in Florida. (I actually stayed in every town on the east coast and west coast of Florida upgrading the fiber optic network while I was with AT&T/Bell Labs a few years ago. I think Sarasota has the best of all to offer.) I live and work on Siesta Key because I like the gorgeous white quartz-crystal sand beach, rated in the top 10 beaches. Hyatt is building a $100MM "fractional ownership" 44-unit "Cabana Club" resort directly on the beach, so they must agree. There are great buys in Sarasota, especially with REO's (i.e. bank owned real estate). A 3000 square foot unit just sold at the "Vista Bay Point" condominium on Golden Gate Point (across from the Ritz Carlton) for US$950,000. It previously sold for US$1.35 million in 2004. There are many deals like this in Sarasota. Please check out my website http://www.ronaldflynn.com for information about Sarasota and Siesta Key. Feel free to e-mail or call. (By the way, I lived in Orleans for a year and miss touring the chateaus' on weekends.)
