October 2006 Real Estate News - visit http://www.michellebeckham.com/october/

Hello, everyone!

In addition to other monthly announcements for October & items I think may interest you as it pertains to Real Estate in our area, you may have seen my 'Special Announcement' about a new development being released, Churchill Downs on Hwy 31 . I would like to share a little pricing information with you on how these new homes (fantastic architecture plan!) compare to other AVERAGE home pricing in our Spanish Fort & Daphne 'Eastern Shore' areas (see column to the right with picture titled 'Special Offer'). I think you will agree this pricing is extraordinary & please note, only available on the first 30 sold in this development.

Sincerely,      
Michelle

Baldwin County Commission's Affordable Housing Task Force, a group charged with studying the issue in the county

There is a shortage of housing priced below $150,000, said Bob Higgins, co-chairman of the task force and vice president of the Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance. There are 4,000 unfilled jobs in the county, along with more than 15,000 retail and hospitality positions that are expected to be available in the next two years, Higgins said.

"Some of the reason we don't have the jobs filled is because we don't have the housing," said Higgins, adding that there is also a shortage of rental units priced below $700 a month.
