Home prices hit the skids in 2009 in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope - 01/19/10 04:00 PM
  Statistics can be manipulated. But the evidence shows a 17.5% decline in house values on the Eastern Shore in 2009. Coupled with our deceptive and behind-the-rest-of-the-nation 1% decline in 2008, housing prices are almost back to pre-Hurricane Ivan levels of 2003-04.
            The picture is a bit brighter in terms of the number of homes sold. Low interest rates, the first-time homebuyer tax credit and an abundance of inventory and incentives helped check the decline in the total sales to only 3.5% compared to 2008.
            For the year, 803 homes sold between Spanish Fort and Point Clear, compared with … (1 comments)

December 2009 home sales in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope - 01/07/10 07:33 PM
            Home sales on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay proved to be weak in December, as sales declined to 56 compared to 65 in November.
            A poll of Realtors by the National Association of Realtors predicted a lull during the holidays and that was borne out in the statistics. Locally, however, the end-of-year season is usually second only to the April-May rush in sales in the area between Spanish Fort and Point Clear.
            However, local Realtors report an uptick in buyer inquiries and showings in the last weeks of 2008. Hopefully, that will result in transactions in 2010. … (0 comments)

Today was so nuts I wore mismatched shoes - 01/05/10 07:53 PM
I overslept. But sometimes the Good Lord Above gives you just what you need for the day.
The first indicator was an email referenced: "Trouble in River City." A commercial deal on a lot I have listed was crashing because the buyer wasn't getting terms that suited him.
And so it began. To recap this somewhat typical but crazy day.
Lot deal: Calls to 3 commercial lenders to try to find someone to talk to another agent's buyer and salvage deal. Calls and emails to seller, who is none too pleased. Email closing agent with update.
Pending house deal: Call to seller … (6 comments)
