Latest newsletter goes deep into the pockets of golf communities

        Golf community developers and real estate agencies have to give the people what they want.  Back in their heyday, what potential buyers wanted were amenities.  A perfectly fine golf community selling $500,000 homes but lacking a fitness center, for example, could lose its edge to another $500K community with a few up-market treadmills and plasma TV screens.  The irony, of course, was that the same developers who touted those amenities were living on borrowed money –- and on borrowed time when the market collapsed.

        Today’s marketing battle among golf communities is not being fought over whose amenities list is longer but rather whose pockets are deeper.  The financial security of planned developments is uppermost on the minds of those couples with the resources to purchase a second or retirement home in a golf community.  But which types of communities are the most secure?

        We address the topic in the September issue of Home On The Course, our free monthly newsletter, which has just been emailed to a growing list of subscribers (about 1,000 strong).  We also include an overview of how relatively inexpensive it is to live in Myrtle Beach, SC, arguably the golf capital of America.

        If you are not a subscriber, it isn’t too late to receive your copy of the September issue.  Just scroll to the top of this column and provide your name and email address.  Please note that we will never make your information available to any third party unless you ask us to put you in touch with one of the experienced and professional real estate specialists in our network.  But that is entirely your call.

        Please sign up today and I will personally send you a copy of the September issue in the next day.  Thanks.
