Last week I woke up one morning to about an inch of fresh snow. Most of what had been on the ground since December had melted, but winter was not yet done.

That afternoon, I ran in a tee shirt and shorts.

Yesterday morning, it was 32.

This afternoon: short sleeves……

Finally…….. Spring is showing that, yes indeed yet again, all is right with the world. I love winter…but I love spring too.

NOTE: I know of two business opportunities in Highlands. I can’t be very specific at this time, but I’ll glad work on your behalf to learn more if you’re interested.

One is technology based: sales, service, installation, etc.

The other is wine and gifts.

If you’ve been looking for an excuse to move to Highlands, but kept asking the question: what will I do?

Now, you may have your answer.

As far as the rest of the market goes: who knows?

We had a busy fall, but as is always the case, things slow down during the winter. Now, as we head through April and into May, we’ll see what sort of season we’ll have real-estate wise.

Prices are low–and some coming down even further. As has always been the case, lots of sellers don’t have to sell and aren’t going to “give it away.” But even so, they’re aware of the overall market conditions and are willing to listen to offers. In fact, some sellers are very aware of what the money will buy them elsewhere and are taking steps to insure they can take advantage of good opportunities.

If you’ve wanted to buy in this area, it’s a great time to come up, look around, and put some numbers on paper to see what happens……

We are not overwhelmed with short sales and foreclosures up here as is the case in many other area, but click the link to take you to a selection of those opportunities in Highlands and the Cashiers/Sapphire area.
