Snippit For those who know I am involved in various businesses besides Real Estate, here is link to my most recent project. The full series airs in September. Enjoy! A little preview of the style of the series. Each Sunday in September. Posted from my home base on Dauphin Island, Alabama. Cheers, Marion The power of one photo. Dauphin Island makes it onto Webshots!
This morning I checked email and saw a BUNCH of emails from WebShots commenting on a photo of "Dune House" I had posted. At first I thought it was bogus as my account showed no comments. Then the emails kept coming so I figured out that a photo of the sleeping porch at "Dune House" was the featured shot in the Home and Garden section. No forewarning from WebShots, I was pleased about the recognition but a note to notify me would have been good. The moral is the old law of unintended consequences. I placed this photo on Webshots to ease the chore of imbedding it in multiple sites and in response to renter inquiries. Certainly never expected it to be chosen as a featured photo with all they have to choose from. Anyway enjoy looking around all the beautiful photos. Marion This has been a great summer for us on coastal Dauphin Island. Although sales continue to be slow, the home and residential lot market has stabilized with several new closed and pending transactions of homes and lots.
With such a good vacation rental market and a growing residential market in Mobile the prognosis is for continued strengthening and a return to appreciation in the mid-term. Publicity over our towns new West End public beach on Dauphin Island increases profile among nearby buyers who remain our principal source of home sales. The press about the billions ThyssenKrump and Northup Grmana/Airbus/EADS are now or plan to invest in our area also generates inquiries. Even the protest by Boeing generates headlines aound the world directing eyeballs to our little Gulf Coast jewel. How are the coastal markets in your areas?
MOBILE AND DAUPHIN SHARE THE SPOTLIGHT WITH AMERICA"S JUNIOR MISS CONTESTANTS Mobile has had the first dance but today was Dauphin Island's turn to host the beautiful ladies of America's Junior Miss Pageant. These smart, poised and attractive young ladies, escorted by their Mobile Alabama host families took the short drive to the beaches of Dauphin Island's West End. The venue was the just opened West End Beach public beach. The setting was gorgeous with plenty of sun, sand, salt water and palms. Unfortunately, the clouds threatened but quickly let the sun shine for the days events of the host family & their contestants building sand castles in the power white sands. America's Junior Miss on Dauphin Island.
Mobile, Alabama: Where home prices/values continue to rise. We in Mobile, Alabama are just very lucky to live here during this turmoil in the real estate industry. We are in one of the few places where buying a home does not mean loosing value the day after you close on ownership. The recent Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight report continues to show Mobile and this narrow section of the Gulf Coast as a bright spot in home value appreciation. All the good news from industry and technology entering our area is driving these positive trends.
