No one ever made a great real estate buying or selling decision with too much information. On Siesta Key, there are many canal front choices. Access to the broad market is a great way to get a handle on pricing and market direction. The next step is to zero in on the area or style of the home for a more concise pricing model.
Anyone in the market for a waterfront or canal front understands that water has widely different qualities. For example, a bay-front home would have a higher land value than a canal-front home with no bridges or shallow water. A house on surface water or behind a low bridge will have a lower land value than one without bridges to the bay. Older homes on canals will have a significant portion (upwards of 80% to 90% or more) of their value attributed to the land. Newer homes with modern construction will add value to the property and, thereby, will become a more significant percentage of the total value. These are all variables to consider.
