Good Morning! Fall travel is in the air and we present to you three more travel options to Florida, South Carolina and Georgia.
And if you’re paying attention, the real estate bottom is here. The result has been rising prices, more sales and just recently–mortgage rates are rising. Prices at communities, though, are still very attractive. We spotlight two South Carolina homes this issue, plus homes in Idaho and Florida. See below for details. –David Lott, Founder/Publisher
