Why Corpus Christi Land Notes Are Desirable
Corpus Christi metro (Nueces + San Patricio + Aransas counties) has coastal advantages:
- Port of Corpus Christi — major export hub.
- Energy sector (oil, gas, wind).
- Naval Air Station and tourism (beaches, Padre Island).
- Growing suburban/retirement appeal.
Result: Steady buyer interest → competitive pricing (often lower discounts than inland rural).
Corpus Christi-Specific Valuation Factors
Beyond standard criteria:
- Coastal premium: Notes near Padre Island, Mustang Island, or bayfront price higher.
- Wind energy: Tracts in wind farm zones (Kenedy/Kleberg) attractive.
- Port/industrial proximity: Properties near refineries or port infrastructure valuable.
- Hurricane/flood risk: FEMA zones and windstorm insurance impact risk/discount.
Typical performing Corpus Christi note discount: 15-32% (coastal demand offsets some risk).
