First to Feel it...First to Recover

OK- the world is in a panic right now. Consumer confidence is at an ALL TIME LOW. I can tell you the most successful person I have every worked with once told me "You make the best of times in the worst of times". What does this mean? Well it means, in a specialty market like Highlands and Cashiers where the average home price is $750k, now is the best time to buy. You get out there and invest in things that would normally be out of your reach, but because of the economic slump, these things are now at your finger tips at a fraction of the cost. Highlands and Cashiers is like being in a time machine. Image if you had the cash and knowledge 10 years ago when things in here where booming? Well guess what? You can have them now. Get out there, look online to MLS, Realtor.com and meadowsmtnrealty.com. You'll see that the mountain home you have always wanted can now be yours for less than you ever dreamed of. Be aware- these prices will NOT last long. Art Williams and Arthur Ashe (Home Depot) said there is more wealth between Highlands and Lake Toxaway than ANYWHERE else on the eastern seaboard with the exception of Martha's Vineyard. We felt the effects of this economy last and we will feel the recovery first. Highlands and Cashiers had always been a 2nd, 3rd and 4th home community. Most people here don't have to "tighten their belts" when times get tough. So my best advice to you is this- if you got it, INVEST IT! Call me, I know what's out there and what's a winner every time!
