Vacation Homes making a comeback!

I just read an interesting article about the comeback of vacation homes, and have noticed similar things happening in DeBordieu and Pawleys Island. While I realize it was talking mostly about the lower end of the price spectrum, I really liked what it said about consumer confidence coming back. Here’s the link if you’re interested: http://ow.ly/1tYu6.
That same consumer confidence has been showing itself in the DeBordieu Sales Office lately as well. I’m delighted to report that I’ve noticed a big increase in traffic in the past couple of weeks, walk-ins and internet hits, and am really excited about the two appointments I have tomorrow! Get this….the first one is at 7:30 a.m. You know what they say about that early bird!

I’ve also noticed a little trend in what people are looking for. While some DeBordieu buyers are looking for that mega-beach house that can sleep a small army, (we have some doozies available in that department), some are looking for more living space, less bedrooms, and high quality appointments. If you are one of those buyers, take a look at the oceanfront Kossove Home we just listed. It was designed as a primary residence, but also works perfectly for a second home. It’s offered furnished, and it’s furnished in a spectacular way. Check it out by clicking on the link above.

There has never been a better time to consider a purchase at DeBordieu.

He Who Hesitates…..

My momma used to always say, “he who hesitates is lost.” Now, I don’t necessarily agree with that ALL the time, but if you are thinking of a real estate purchase, that little pearl of wisdom is right on!
Particularly if you are considering DeBordieu.
I’ve been involved with DeBordieu Colony since 1986, and I can tell you, there has never been a better selection and wide variety of properties available. And some of the values are incredible!
Wise folks are positioning themselves right now to make their purchases this spring.
Think about it….why wait and let someone else get your first choice? Why wait and have to settle for your second, third or fourth?
Interest rates are great.
Selection is great.
The opportunity is now.
Don’t hesitate….unless you’re waiting to turn left onto Highway 17 in Pawleys Island without a light….THAT’S when I gotta disagree with my momma.

Today’s featured property is the Adderholt Home, oceanfront with a pool, just reduced to $1,995,000. (Clickthe link for details.)

DeBordieu Colony is an oceanfront community located just south of Pawleys Island, South Carolina featuring private golf and tennis, saltwater creek access to the ocean, a manned security gate, and luxury homes and villas surrounded by hundreds of acres of wildlife and nature preserves.
There’s no place like home…..and there’s no place like DeBordieu.

 

Pricing Strategies

Chase the Market? Or Cut to the Chase?
There are two schools of thought on pricing strategies in today’s real estate market.
(1) Price the property attractively, but with some wiggle room to negotiate, and “chase the market.”OR, (2) “Cut to the chase” – Price the property at the price at which you think it will sell, and if you get a low-ball offer, HOLD.

Which is better? Well, better is in the eye of the beholder…in this case, the buyer. It all depends on the buyer’s attitude. Some buyers enjoy the “thrill of the chase.” Others prefer not to play that game, and are attracted to a low sticker price.

If you are a “cut to the chase” buyer………I have some attractive stickers for you.

Social Networking – Fun and Rewarding!

I have been so blessed to have been givin the opportunity to represent so many DeBordieu owners and their beautiful properties. Currently I represent the owners of 5 homes, 13 lots, and one very special villa. Today I got them all loaded up in a FACEBOOK photo album, so my friends and clients can look at all of my personal DeBordieu listings in one place.
They say that social networking is “where it’s at” these days. I’ve been having loads of fun connecting with people on FACEBOOK, but I’m beginning to get many business contacts from social networking, as well as the generation of some actual leads from potential buyers!
So please visit my FACEBOOK photo album by clicking on FACEBOOK, and to see all of the great properties available at DeBordieu, visit the website at www.DeBordieu.com.
There’s no place like home. And there’s NO place like DeBordieu.

A Room with a View!

There is just NOTHING like being right on the oceanfront!

Particularly if you’re at DeBordieu. I was reminded of this

 just yesterday while showing some oceanfront villas at Pioneer Place, DeBordieu’s first, and still very popular beachfront enclave. Incredible values on the north end, within walking distance to the DeBordieu Beach Club!
There are two types….the original Pioneer Place Villas

are right on the beach….sitting sort of on top of a huge, grassy dune. If you’re on the bottom, you can walk right out to the beach. If you’re on the top, you’ll have a few stairs, but you can see all the way to Pawleys Island and beyond! There are a couple of these villas available starting at $750,000.
The newer Pioneer Place Villas are townhomes, with covered parking, wonderful porches, and great views across the private pool to the ocean. These villas start at $985,000.
So for under $1Million, you have your choice of two excellent oceanfront properties that allow easy access to the beach, spectacular views, and a special place to create those very special kodak moments with your family.
Oh….by the way, we have a few Pioneer Place Villas on the rental market as well. If you are planning to vacation at Pawleys Island this Spring or Summer, and would like to consider DeBordieu, give me a call or hit the website and click on rentals.
There’s no place like home. And there’s NO place like DeBordieu!
