Sold! Villages go for $1.6 million

Posted on January 9, 2013 by Tom Scanlon

The Villages of Ocean Shores sells for $1.6 million, according to the county’s real estate sales site. Not bad, but . . . First Interstate Bank of Montana loaned some $10 million to developer Paul Pariser/Bar-JP for the project, then took the stalled project back after only one condo building (of a planned 15) was built, and Pariser failed to make payments on the gated condo community.

    I will be on pins and needles until I learn what plans the new owners have for the property. If they plan on continuing to pillage, plunder, burn, bulldoze and build, I will probably collapse into a pool of tears.
