Prickett Properties LLC had our first guests at Turquoise Place over the New Years, and although hectic, it was a success!

The guests absolutely loved Turquoise Place, the amenities, and our condos in particular. Here is one of our responses :

"Yes very nice trip and we will definitely look to rent here again. This place is beautiful—glad we did this."

Turquoise Place definitely has set the mark for luxury, beachfront rentals in Orange Beach Alabama. While the beach is still the main amenity, the resort has so many things to offer for guests vacationing during cooler months.

Each one of the Turquoise Place condos have a beachfront hot tub overlooking the ocean. Also, there is a gas fireplace in the living areas. The indoor pool and two hot tubs are also nice amenities to have during the off-season.

I teach Sunday School at my neighborhood chapel and had lunch this afternoon at the clubhouse afterwards.

Everyone knows that Daniel and I are in real estate. We often get those "I am so sorry" looks when the subject of the local real estate market becomes the topic of conversation.

As is often, the subject of real estate came up between our table and the one next to us. Interestingly, people don't even bother to ask how condos and beach homes are selling in and around Orange Beach Alabama. If you open up the Mobile Press Register, you know! The headline of the real estate section today was..."A dismal outlook for 2009" or something along those lines.

In place of questioning real estate, everyone seems interested in whether vacation rentals are up or down. I am one of those "honest to a fault" people so I am not going to candy coat it for people. However, the truth is that vacation rentals are up. I cannot explain it and I know that we are in a recession (*according to CNN), but the honest to goodness truth is that Vacation Rentals are jamming.

The fact that the rentals are doing well tells me that people will shortly start buying again. I disagree with the Mobile Press Register and I am going to go out on a limb and say that 2009 will be better than 2008.

So there it is, I have made a prediction. 2009 will be better than 2008. My logic is as follows. The sales prices are at an all time low. Banks are dumping properties in foreclosure (*which is another point I will blog on shortly), yet the rentals of the same properties are up. It does not take too terribly long for the word to get out and the public to decide that it is a good time to buy. Next thing you now, we will be on our way out of this mess.

I can't wait to the end of 2009 to see if I am right! I predicted the downturn in late 2005 when everyone was still living on cloud nine so we will see. I may just be on to something :)
