Dear , September is a busy month of school and sports. The kids return to school and between college football and golf there is nothing else on television. We're enjoying the heat relief but I must tell you that I prefer the heat over the cold and I'm already not looking forward to winter.
 I'll be writing about the second home and vacation home markets during the next few months so if you've been toying with the idea of purchasing a second home you'll want to learn more about why it might be the right time to buy.
I hope you enjoy this month's newsletter and I hope you will forward it to your friends, family, and colleagues who may be thinking about buying a home in the Upstate.
Best regards, Keith (420-0262)

September Market Update and MLS Data
The number of transactions in August increased forty two per cent! (42%) I don't think anyone expected that large of an increase but it remains to be seen if the current environment in Washington will continue to dampen the real estate recovery.

If you've been thinking about a vacation home or a second home you're not alone. Prices have retreated in many luxury and vaction home markets to a point where many of us are considering getting in the game. My colleague Jim who lives in Vero Beach, FL emailed me an article by Jessica Greenberg from The Wall Street Journal who writes: "Five years after the housing peak, markets that once were out of sight even for well-heeled buyers are now in range. On Hilton Head Island, S.C., a three-bedroom home nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Calibogue Sound changed hands in April for $750,000, after having sold for $1.2 million in June 2006. In Vail, Colo., a three-bedroom home that fetched $3.3 million in 2008 sold in February for $2.5 million."
