Pick'n Up Steam at Lake Oconee........

Over the last few weeks, and one reason I haven't (B)logged in lately, is that we've had lots of lookers on property. When the prospects for the market are bad, we'd call them "tire kickers".... but in my opinion, these folks are buyers just waiting to happen! Our real estate customers are very savvy...they have scoured the internet, picked up copies of the RE magazines, they know as much (or more I have found) about some of our properties as we do. One other recent occurrence too is radiating good vibrations......a lot of Realtors are out looking for themselves.

We've heard for months that our slow market was being represented by prospects(?) who were trying to time the turnaround. Of course, one problem with that concept....if you don't recognize the signals, the turnaround might leave you in the dust. Here's my take on that: 1) lake home prices have indeed come down a little; 2) many prospects, including professional real estate folk, are busy looking; 3) economic factors are being shown stronger than anyone would have forecast; and 4) for all the prognosticators who have chanted that "THE ELECTION" will be the benchmark for our real estate marketing future.....WELL, its upon us!

There is a point to this drivel.........if you want to buy something "RIGHT", particularly lake homes which historically (like in forever!) have never gone down in price, then you might want to get moving folks! And....bring your checkbook with you when you decide to: "lets ride down to the lake Sunday afternoon". OH, and one other thought....you might not want to wait until after NOV the 4th ! I'd like nothing better than to show our new President-Elect just what WE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE can do to motivate the economy.....so HE (whoever HE is) won't believe that HE had anything to do with it!!!!!

Mary and I have a goal to close one property per week for the remainder of this year. Wanna help us out? I promise you this: if you'll seriously come look, we will do you the best job you'll ever see!
