REAL ESTATE TRENDS 
BallenIsles Sales
The past six months have seen an amazing 52 closings! Inventory remains exceeding low at 53 properties for sale. Buyers continue to struggle to find the right membership and property combination. The rental market for next year for those wishing to enjoy a full golf membership is essentially closed. We continue to get lots of calls for a 2016 seasonal rental and regret to pass on the disappointing news. Let us know if you would consider renting your property for a few winter months, perhaps to travel or to bring in income. We can promise you top rental fees.
