Pirates in Savannah


Ada and I spent a few days in Savannah & Charlotte to visit a few of our old haunts. The picture is a view from our hotel in Savannah. The ship was built for a couple in Brazil and then transported to Savannah for rigging, they didn't have the funds to finish it so the city bought it and is now open for tours. How cool would it be to have your own pirate ship.

Nothing much has happened in our complexes since the last post.

There is another new front unit in The Diplomat listed at $149,000. This is a little high for the comps but we wish them luck.

To the south of us in 2100 Towers, a foreclosure was sold for $172,000, listed at $179,900. This was a 2 bedroom 2 bath unit with 1400 sq ft. This unit sold after being on tleh market for 29 days.

A little advice on selling your property.

"Some things never change" Like the 3 most important aspects to selling property.

1. Price
2. Location
3. Ease of showing & condition of property

Now in today's internet market the most important thing is pictures. Even in rentals we are now doing visual tours. How can you put a rental on the market that has a beautiful ocean view and you don't even show it on the web. Talk to your agent and insist on a lot of pictures, now pictures of the shuttle and Mickey Mouse are not necessary since everyone has seen these and you are not selling or renting either one.

I hope eneryone enjoyed their turkey day!
