Gulf Shores today: The Coast is clear

08-08-10

Gulf Shores Public

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.

Home prices on the Eastern Shore continue to erode but at a much slower pace than last year's 17.5% depreciation.

The average sales price of homes in Spanish Fort, Daphne and Fairhope fell 4.5% since the end of 2009. Generally, we were behind the rest of the country when The Great Recession hit, impacting the housing market. So I expect we'll be behind the rest of the country in hitting bottom.

I saved my son's life

Janet English Realtor Mobile Alabama's Eastern Shore Suburbs

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 ... don't

Homes for sale in Daphne, Spanish Fort, Fairhope

Moving is hell! And I think that sometimes Realtors forget that it's as tough as it is.

In one 6-year period, my family found itself in four homes (we bought and sold each of them) and one apartment. I'll never forget those experiences and the confusion, upheaval and stress it brought.

Buyers and sellers don't need their real estate transaction to be anything but smooth and that is my goal. Yet, I still manage to keep people informed of the process in a candid, professional way. My clients know when it's time to make plans and when it's time to execute those plans (often involving an outlay of cash).

My goal: No surprises. And that, I believe, is the way to a smooth transaction.
