http://www.cartergroupland.com/site/news News from Carter Group Real Estate about many different topics. http://www.cartergroupland.com/site/show_news/41 The sun is finally shining after the rain...at least that’s how it appears in the real estate world. Land seems to be _moving_ again. The media sells us somber stories, but we want to sell some good news. With first hand experience, our agents are beginning to see a change in the market. From small timber acreage to large recreation acreage, investors are purchasing. Make note that investors can range from the average “Joe” taking advantage of a good deal, to the “heavy hitter” looking for somewhere to sink investment money. http://www.cartergroupland.com/site/show_news/41 http://www.cartergroupland.com/site/show_news/40 _Reduction, reduction, reduction!_ We are starting the new year off right by reducing one of our prime properties. This super nice hunting tract is perfect for an investment, hobby, or home sweet home. It’s 130.75 acres of hunting paradise with turkey galore and deer by the dozen that congregate at the back door area of the two-story cypress cabin. With a rustic decor, this cabin is super classy showcasing a stone fireplace, hand-carved wood work, open loft, antler chandeliers, ceramic lavatory bowl-sink, tile and wood flooring, and more. http://www.cartergroupland.com/site/show_news/40 http://www.cartergroupland.com/site/show_news/39 Known as the Peach state, Georgia has much to offer its investors and residents. In addition to it’s abundance of fruit, this beautifully landscaped state is one that has been recognized for its many characteristics including farmland. In addition to offering cultivation, there are numerous attributes that Georgia Land provides. Owning southern real estate can have benefits that include transferrable conservation programs and the tax breaks that go along with them. If the food and financial gain doesn’t sell the state’s qualities, surely the breathtaking landscape will. http://www.cartergroupland.com/site/show_news/39 http://www.cartergroupland.com/site/show_news/38 As 2011 comes to a close and 2012 rolls in, the newest trends are surfacing. The progression of buying farmland remains steady as crop prices reach a prime and timber prices continue to be on an upward climb in Southeast Georgia, when other parts of the country are still low, securing the investment of timberland in the southern region. However, the most recent shift in attention seems to be on investment properties. Ranging from Wyoming to Florida, Developers to Professional Athletes, we are receiving interest from all sorts. http://www.cartergroupland.com/site/show_news/38 http://www.cartergroupland.com/site/show_news/37 According to numerous sources as well as our personal business experience, investors still have a hardy appetite for investing. The tastebuds have just changed a bit. We are finding that buyers are being lured by recreational properties and “good deals”. They appear to be more cautious and even more educated, as the stock market has left its mark of fear, but the high class properties are still attracting quality investors. The waterfront tracts, hunting preserves, and large timber parcels are simply selling themselves. http://www.cartergroupland.com/site/show_news/37
