Just had my property appraised: land value went from 10k to 40k and acre and the house we bought 3 years ago DOUBLED in value. The homeless appraiser told us to have it done again after the 1st house is built and sold, she estimated our value would go up another 25 to 50%. It's great for existing homeowners. For anyone else, it's horrible. I live near the new subdivision. Just had my property appraised: land value went from 10k to 40k and acre and the house we bought 3 years ago DOUBLED in value.

It’s great for existing homeowners. For anyone else, it’s horrible.

The population in metro Pensacola continues to grow. Escambia County is mostly built out south of I-10, Santa Rosa County is built out in Pace, Milton, Gulf Breeze, and Navarre. The only places left to go are north and west. Builders can't go to the east because Eglin AFB takes up a huge swath of eastern SR County. SR County also lacks a major 4-laned north-south route for ease of access, ditto to the west into Baldwin County. That leaves the looming northward push into rural Escambia County with its easy access to US-29 and its 4 travel lanes and access to I-10 on the south and I-65 on the north (via Atmore or Flomaton).
