Fall is Just Around the Corner
August 27, 2010
Take a few minutes to read up on what’s happening in Real Estate at the Coast, tidbits on Jim’s English vacation, and upcoming events here in Rockport-Fulton!
ADV:
Dateline Paradise: Folks, don’t you pay too much attention to all the “doom and gloom” in the media about how terrible things are in the real estate market. In some parts of the country (including Rockport-Fulton!), things are doing fairly well, thank you. And the overall really good news in our Rockport-Fulton Coastal market is that year-to-date, meaning comparing the first seven months of this year to the first seven of 2009, our sales here are actually up 3%!! That’s positive news, and reflects what we have been saying all along…
This is an excellent time to buy property in Rockport-Fulton
• Our pricing is attractive (especially in relation to other coastal communities!).
• Interest rates are just about the lowest they have ever been.
• There’s a wonderful variety of homes, condos and lots to choose from.
• Our waterfront properties (on canals, bays) are spectacular!!
Investing is wise, and property can yield financial growth and the joys that a beautiful home provides. If you are in a position to do so, I suggest investing in…
Rockport-Fulton, named one of the top ten US coastal communities by Coastal Living Magazine for its
1. natural beauty
2. our healthy environment
3. cooling summer breezes
4. internationally famous art community
5. birding beyond belief
6. some of the finest salt water fishing in the nation
7. fresh sea food
8. great restaurants
9. clean beaches
10. tons of outdoor activities

12. And, of course, yours truly on the scene to help you!

Glorious England in August
Kadi and I just returned from three weeks in England…visiting family in London (daughter, son-in-law, and three British grandsons!!)…incredible trip…museums, parks, train rides, exploring Ripley castle, witnessing firsthand the nightly Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London, reveling in the beauty of an ancient fishing village on the cliffs of Runswick Bay, hiking on the Yorkshire moors at the edge of the North Sea, and, get this, we had to actually wear sweaters some days!! In August!!
