Oconee is "popping".........

All this about down markets and recessions....doom and gloom!!!! Mary and I have visited and taken reservations for homesites/homes in three of Oconee's big new communities, all in the last couple of weeks. I think its all a matter of timing....these buyers felt that the time was perfect for their needs...so they have secured themselves places in Del Webb, Galingayle and Kingston on Lake Oconee, all on the ground floor.

This kind of activity tells me that buyers are "willing and able"....we just have to get them "ready"! What did Warren Buffett say when interviewed at the College World Series recently..."you can stand at the plate with the bat on your shoulder until eternity....but until you swing, you won't get a hit!" (I kinda' paraphrased that a little.)

We have the inventory, homeprices are off a little (they certainly have not gone up in the last year), there are some good bargains out there...especially in the small 3/2 lakefront home market.......its time to swing the bat folks!!! Jim
