I keep telling everyone how lucky we have been that we are not experiencing the real estate trouble that every news channel and newspaper has been reporting for years. This is still true! However, we have had some slow down. Lots of reasons for this: lots of people selling and buyers want to look at EVERYTHING available before making a decision, interest rates have been volatile so it might get better, outsiders are looking for deals and our community hasn't had to "deal" in most markets, financing keeps getting a little harder to get especially for imperfect credit, the growth we experienced the last few years was not the extreme growth experienced in the areas now experiencing the serious drops in values. But, when is the last time we saw 5.5% interest? And I have never heard of the government giving such an incentive to buy --$7500 tax credit to buy a house. It's crazy.
What's happening today? WOW! Buyers and sellers keeping me so busy the last two weeks that I can hardly keep up. I am not complaining for sure! Oconee County is a great place to be always. We have a great group of people, beautiful lakes and mountains, great value-based families.
Last night I went to the Walhalla Civic Auditorium and saw James Gregory live. The last time I saw him I had to drive to Greenville. He is the "funniest man in America" and I had to drive 10 minutes to see him. Keith Alberstadt opened for him. I had never heard of him but he was very funny and appeared on the David Letterman show last week. I think its fabulous that we are now attracting these great activities to our area. The house was packed! My side heard when I left. It hurt oh so good.

So, what does all this jibberish mean. Oconee County has it all!!!!!!!!! Great people, lots of things to do, national entertainment, and the real estate is moving. Don't wait, get it on it now before it's just a memory.
