Dauphin Island

2013 Begins With Events & Winter Weary Vacationers

This week is the beginning of our traditional Spring Break season on Dauphin Island.  Our many Snow Bird friends are leaving and beginning next week we will see a huge influx of Spring Break families and couples.  Rentals have remained brisk and the number of phone and email inquiries promises to generate quite a tight rental housing market.  Of course, the best part of our piece of paradise is that even full up we are never crowded!
Prices for homes have stabilized and begun the traditional march upward.  Every economic downturn sees resort/vacation areas being hit first and recovering first so nothing new with this current progression.  Rental rates have remained high and new housing inventory has stagnated so the demand squeeze is coming on quickly.
Whether looking for a single family beach cottage, beach condo, townhouse with boat dockage or just a lot for the future, NOW is certainly the time to act before pricing pressures become much stronger.

Summer 2012 on Dauphin Island and the Alabama Coast was record breaking!

Spring Break families and students streamed onto our famous shores and chowed down on our great Gulf of Mexico seafood.
The summer was VERY busy (record breaking from independent analysis), but if you love the slower pace of Dauphin Island we still retain a laidback island style.

Why Dauphin Island, NOW?

-------------------------------------------------

 

 

All along the Gulf coast, there is a normal realignment of value and wealth.   Where others are floundering Mobile is rising to new heights from past glories.

Over the last few years I have seen an increase in national and international awareness of our unique Mobile county region.  This has led to multi-billion dollar investments in our job market by multinational companies.  Through a strong and knowledgeable State Economic Development group the Mobile, Alabama and Dauphin Island region are at the forefront of development efforts for high quality companies and employment opportunities.

Exceptional property values in Mobile county and Dauphin Island offer many varied opportunities to define your own vision of home.

Mobile's city and suburban settings boast established neighborhoods that can trace their history back for generations and rivaling Charleston for historic significance. . New Orleans style creole neighborhoods in the city center offer a more urban feel with vibrant nightlife.

If your choice is a more laid back style of home then Cottage Hill and Springhill offer great bargains.  New neighborhoods are being refined everyday so there is always a new opportunity to find your unique home.

Our Gulf of Mexico, is a fantastic resource for building family memories and generational wealth. For the purchaser seeking golf course, water front or water view properties as well as those with dreams of docking your boat at your door, the time is ripe for coastal real estate. For a short period you can capture the option to employ federal GO Zone incentives. The window to qualify for new construction has ended for Alabama but existing homes and condos, such as Holiday Isle, may still qualify.
When you are ready to leap into this amazing time along the Gulf give me a call or email. Now is the time to become a Mobilian or Dauphin Islander.

 

When you are ready for more information on buying or selling your  home/businesses I am here for you.
