My house at the beach will cost at least $50-75K to Fix - Should I?

I'd go inland

I will buy it from you for 50K.

Blow it up and film it for our entertainment. Seriously though....I would just move to a safer location.

No, take this as a hint from mother nature, and move off the coast. The oceans are rising, and this one storm is proof in itself that another storm can and will come. Buy a house in the middle of the US, good land for a garden, and secluded enough from neighbors that they won't be a nuisance. Not in any city.

I am suprised everyone here wants doom so bad and I have it and no real ideas? in nj - i can rebuild but should i - nj is already in debt huge and there is so much destruction - it will be billions to repair the area

A Buckminster Fuller dome...on stilts.

thanks - i am just thinking people will be looking for a bargain and not sure they will be of the same caliber of current residents and that alone reduces the value tremendously. everyone around here says rebuild - but have been watching for doom for some years now and though this isn't great - it won't break my bank so if this is a 100 year storm not much chance of happening again.

stop making the rest of the taxpayers pay for your in the idiocracy.. you are the idiot who built a house on the ocean

it's not on the ocean and i didn't build it and you aren't paying for it - if you read the post - no fema money

i guess people don't realize the doom in nj

looks like good time to sell. sinking money into any real estate since 2008 has been a bad move. depends on the flood damage. no wind damage insurance for you?

with that money you can invest in PM silver (when it drops below $30/oz) and see a profit. put it into the house and probably not. rentals work just as good for vacation in this market.

More like a Walter Gropius bunker
