janet english realtor at remax by the bay: Home prices up 8% in Spanish Fort, Daphne, Fairhope
- 01/20/16 12:06 AM
Average home sales prices rose 8% in 2015 and the number of sales jumped 21%.
That means we are nearing the market highs of 2007-08, before the Big Tumble clipped 29.5% off home prices on the Eastern Shore.
What to make of things then, and now? The big takeaway, for me, is that our communities have remained so persistently popular
Home prices have increased nearly 27% in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope in the past few years. And, when you look around, you see lots of new construction.
In fact, new construction represents 27% of all the houses out there for … (1 comments)

janet english realtor at remax by the bay: 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)

janet english realtor at remax by the bay: February 2011 home sales show nice rebound in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope
- 03/10/11 09:20 AM
February may be a short month, but a lot was packed into it for housing on the Eastern Shore of the Mobile, Ala., metro area.

janet english realtor at remax by the bay: Housing absorption rate at 11 months in Daphne, Spanish Fort and Fairhope
- 12/06/10 09:05 AM
"Is it getting any better?"
I get this question about as often as "How ya doin'?"
The answer to the local housing market question is: Not really.
Home sales and pending sales were virtually unchanged on the Eastern Shore of Mobile, AL from October to November.
And the bigger picture shows that the market absorption rate is still seriously out of whack. Industry experts agree that a six-month inventory of homes for sale is the sign of a healthy, stable market. If the absorption rate surpasses that, then it's a buyers' market.
Locally, if not one more house was listed for … (0 comments)

janet english realtor at remax by the bay: August 2010 home sale statistics for Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope
- 09/14/10 07:22 AM
August showed signs of improvement in the Eastern Shore home market with inventory down and pending sales up.
The number of homes for sale in Fairhope, Daphne and Spanish Fort fell 5.5 percent and pending sales increased 17 percent.
Remember the End-Of-The-World-As-We-Know-It report in late August about existing home sales falling 27.2 percent in July? With economists and journalists taking a minute-by-minute pulse on the real estate market, the patient was almost declared critical. I could - and did - predict that the patient would recover. In fact, Realtors as troops on the ground, sensed that this was yet another trough, … (0 comments)

janet english realtor at remax by the bay: Gulf Shores today: The Coast is clear
- 08/08/10 08:52 AM
Hot sand. Cool, clear water and sparse crowds at the Gulf Shores Public Beach this morning. After much searching finally found a dreaded tarball -- a rust-colored rock bout the size of a quarter that crumbled under pressure with a very faint residue that easily washed off. This is not to be feared. Take advantage of the low traffic, vacancies and discounts.

janet english realtor at remax by the bay: I saved my son's life
- 08/01/10 12:39 PM
Somehow, I missed this in the don't-run-with-scissors lecture.
On the eve of my son's 20th birthday, we gave him an Ipod Touch. He hot-footed it down to Best Buy to get an adapter so he could play it in his car.
Around 9 p.m., as I was watching TV, I noticed through the half-glassed door to the garage that he was in my SUV fiddling with the adapter ... with the car running, the AC on, and THE GARAGE DOOR SHUT.
So, parents you may want to add this to:
Don't throw lighter fluid on a fire ... don't mix cleaning chemicals ... don't ... don't … (4 comments)
