Good Morning! Luxury homes are making a comeback with new offerings at Teton Springs, ID and Kiawah Island. There are fewer homes on the market these days and that makes the ones available more attractive and supports prices.

Travel opportunities to Texas and South Carolina are on tap today as well. See below for all the details, plus news about spring training (a sign of spring!) and more.—David Lott, Founder & Publisher
