spanish fort: I saved big bucks on homeowner's insurance, but at what risk? - 05/09/14 02:37 AM


Give me 2 minutes of your time and I may save you money -- or heartache.
 
I saved $1,100 on my homeowner’s insurance. Interested?
 
I also incurred more financial risk should catastrophe strike. That’s what I learned when I talked to two of my favorite go-to guys who sell insurance in Fairhope, Daphne and Spanish Fort … and beyond.
 
But first, let’s talk about my last insurance carrier, Wilshire. The policy was written by a Mobile insurance company in 2011 for $2,556. When my renewal notice arrived in April, the cost was $3,499, roughly a $1,000 … (0 comments)

spanish fort: Sales, pendings up in March in Spanish Fort, Daphne & Fairhope - 04/04/12 05:53 AM
 
It’s the beginning of the high home-buying season on the Eastern Shore of the Mobile, Alabama, metro area.
Sales are up and pending sales are up. But a curious thing is happening: Inventory is falling. Does it signal a change in the housing market in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope? Are sellers so leery of the market that they’re staying put? Are they too upside down on their mortgages to sell? Will the foreclosure shadow inventory start to trickle back into the market?
All things to watch, but only time will tell.
Here’s what’s going on.

spanish fort: Pending sales up in January 2012 in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope - 02/09/12 06:26 AM
 
January 2012 home sales were typically down from December 2011 sales, but pending sales are improved over last month and January of last year.
 
Homes going under contract in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope stood at 170, while only 140 were under contract after the first week in December and only 146 this time last year.
 
Who are these buyers? My experience is that it’s a good mix of tranferees and renters who have been sitting on the fence for quite some time.
 
The average sales price remained largely unchanged. All good news for the real estate … (1 comments)

spanish fort: Eastern Shore home sales surge ahead of tax credit expiration - 04/14/10 11:19 AM
Gosh, it's been grim.
  But I'm here to tell you that this month - April 2010 - feels like it might as well be 2005, considering the volume of house sales going on.
  Sure, the homebuyer tax credit expires April 30. Sure, some people moved up their time frames to capture as much as $8,000 in tax credits.
  But I'm hoping that the effort to get the housing market chugging again like a great locomotive will have staying power. It just takes some time to get the big wheels on the Real Estate Express moving. And maybe, just … (0 comments)

spanish fort: December 2009 home sales in Daphne, Spanish Fort and Fairhope - 01/07/10 11:31 AM
            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)
