spanish fort al homes: Ground zero for termite wars
- 06/12/19 12:50 PM
If you don’t have a termite bond, get one. If you have one and the renewal rate has skyrocketed, here’s why it happened and what you can do about it.
This spring has been a very active one for termites, those wood destroying insects that can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your home before you can even say “entomology.”
You may have had neighbors were shouting on social media to turn off your outside lights so you’d be protected from the zombie apocalypse swarms. What most of us didn’t know was the wheeling, dealing, litigation reeling had already set homeowners up … (0 comments)

What happens when the population of your former farm-country county soars by 26,298 over a six-year period? That’s 12 people a day, according to U.S. Census data reported by AL.com.

- 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

spanish fort al homes: Market hotter than ever in Spanish Fort, Daphne, Fairhope
- 07/08/15 05:53 AM
Home sales are blistering hot with 525 sales in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope in the 2nd Quarter of 2015.
This one quarter eclipses any records I have since I started this newsletter back in the early 2000s. It’s better than after Hurricane Ivan in 2004, when so many in south Baldwin County retreated to the Eastern Shore while they rebuilt at the beach. It’s better than 2005, when this area became a safe haven after the tragic diaspora from Hurricane Katrina.
In fact, the number of sales is up 30% for the first half of 2015, compared to the same time last … (2 comments)

spanish fort al homes: 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 al homes: New construction takes off in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope
- 03/08/12 06:18 AM
Do the builders know something we don’t?
When they stick their collective fingers in the air to judge which way the wind blows do they sense economic fair weather ahead or just more of the same?
Judging by what’s happening with the market, national and regional builders are betting that better times are immediately ahead by listing some 68 new homes in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope since January 1.
Sure, some of the homes are not built, but drive through the subdivisions and you will see an outlay of cash for engineering work and utilities. These … (0 comments)

spanish fort al homes: May 2011 home sales in Daphne, Spanish Fort and Fairhope
- 06/06/11 03:54 AM
We may have hit a new normal in home sales on the Eastern Shore of Mobile, Ala.
For the last three months around a hundred homes have sold, a slight increase over the same time in 2010. What’s significant is that this time last year the housing market was buoyed by the Home Buyer Tax Credit. Without this incentive, our market has fallen into a predictable yet still less than robust pattern.
In Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope, other statistics have become consistent:
n Inventory around 1,000 homes
n Market absorption rate of 10 months, meaning … (0 comments)

spanish fort al homes: Eastern Shore first quarter home sales best since 2007
- 04/24/11 11:15 AM
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.
— John F. Kennedy We’ve been taught that change is good, that fondly reminiscing about the old days is non-productive at best and un-hip at worst.
But gasoline for $2.49 a gallon and milk at even less still sounds appealing. How about homeowners’ insurance for under $2,000 a year? And that was just a couple of years ago.
Change is happening faster and faster. To illustrate: A high school counselor told me that our sons’ generation is projected … (0 comments)
