So what does that mean to you?

Let me connect the dots for you….

The index is up, but even more telling than that, the index has broken 100.

The only time since the housing boom collapsed that the index has broken 100 is when the home owner tax credit was in effect.

SO THAT MEANS  that the index has returned to that level a year since the credit has been in effect means the housing market is strengthening completely on its own, without any stimulus.  NICE.

And that’s not all…

Not only are home sales up, but housing starts are up.

Even home prices are stabilizing in many markets and even heading up in some.

Fantastic news!  If you are interested in more information on our Myrtle Beach Real Estate market, contact BRG at 843-424-6900 today!

We headed out in hopes of some entertainment.
What we found was a pleasant surprise….and a whole lot of fun.
The Conway Riverfest delivered exactly what we were looking for.
Live music, tons of people, and vendors selling yummy deliciousness from chicken bog
to cotton candy were set up all along the river front as we watched the boat parade.

The kids L.O.V.E.D the boats…..

And apparently Drew loves Riley.

Once Drew and Riley were separated and then sufficiently jacked up on sugary grape and cherry shaved ices,
we strolled past the marina and the super quaint Bed & Breakfast.
How cute, right?

We found a Kids Zone complete with a petting zoo, which Drew found just as…ahem….stimulating as the boats!
(I swear that Camel sucked him right out of his seat!)

All in all, we give the City of Conway and the Conway Chamber of Commerce big props,
and an even bigger thank you.
We all enjoyed Riverfest and will be coming back for more next year.
Even though we’ve been here for years,
we love to keep discovering all that the Myrtle Beach area has in it’s bag of tricks.
If you’d like to discover more about the Grand Strand and the communities that surround us, give us a call!

Patio homes typically offer small lots which means less lawn maintenance for homeowners and a majority of the homes are vinyl exterior which also calls for very little upkeep.

There is a flurry of behind-the-scenes work going on (as well as the day-to-day work of selling homes)
and the Team is working, working, working to get this launch underway.
So forgive them, and bear with ME – just for a little bit.
They’ll be posting like mad soon.  VERY SOON.

For now, let’s talk about the obvious.
The Spring Fever that began as a tiny itch for all of us may now be classified as full epidemic status
since the calendar flipped to March 1.
Windows were thrown open, shorts were pulled from the drawer, mass cleaning ensued,
and Riley even walked around barefoot in the backyard.
(You should have seen her face as she discovered the feel of cold grass under her bare little feet – priceless.)
But I digress.

Myrtle Beach is the BEST place for Spring.  Not only is the weather totally sublime,
but there is just so much to do here.
And to really kick off Spring comes Saint Patrick’s Day, and all the events that go with it!

Big things are happening around here…..BIG THINGS.  I’ve been crazy busy networking, diligently researching, and feverishly exploring amazing and incredible new possibilities for Elite Realty Group.  I’ve got BIG news to announce!  But be patient…..

I’m.not.quite.ready.yet.

So stay tuned my friends!  STAY.TUNED.

Take a 200 foot ferris wheel, add a Jimmy Buffet’s Landshark Bar & Grill, toss in a retail shop, and then situate them side-by-side on the new Ocean Boulevard Boardwalk.  What do you get you ask?  You get AWESOME.  Can you feel me people?  I AM EXCITED.  If you know me at all, you know I love music, I love food, and I love fun.

I remember many many evenings spent at the Margarittaville at Broadway at the Beach.  Even my surprise 30th birthday was there!

As soon as the new Ocean Boulevard Boardwalk opened, off we went with the then brand new-ish Baby Girl Bean to check it out!

A friend told us about the new open-air oceanfront rooftop restaurant and bar at the 2nd Avenue Pier last summer, and we all spent evenings there together until the weather turned cool.

AND NOW…..it seems the food, fun, and libations guru’s of Jimmy Buffett’s Landshark Bar & Grill are teaming up with the Skywheel people to create a wonderful attraction to add to the Boardwalk.

I will certainly have the family and friends in tow and be one of the very first patrons when they open up in May.  I’ll keep you posted!
