With the 2nd Quarter 2009 recently ending, I have come up with the following comparisons from our local Glynn County MLS system for single family home sales on St. Simons Island, GA as follows: For the 2nd Quarter, there were 35 sold transactions recorded in our local MLS system with an average asking price of $499,312.  The average sold price for those 35 sales was $452,712 or approximately 91% to list. At the end of 1st Quarter 2009, there were only 12 recorded single family sold transactions with an average asking price of $493,082 and average sales price of $432,825.   To compare the 2nd Quarter 2009 sales statistics to 2nd Quarter 2008, the numbers show a marked decline in the number of transactions closed.  At the 2nd Quarter 2008, our MLS recorded a total 56 single family sales (...

I obviously love the village area of St. Simons Island as our real estate office, the buggie rental store and also our Beachcomber Snow company are all found there.  Now there is even more reason to make the Village and Pier area of St. Simons Island a must see to visitors to Glynn County.  The newly enhanced oceanside pool, mini putt-putt golf course and playground area are now open for business in Neptune Park. The St. Simons Island Casino is a popular gathering place for visitors to take a break in one of the rockers and watch the boats and ocean traffic go by or visit the island library and gather brochures and area info from the Visitors Information Center.  Many weddings and receptions   choose this lovely venue to enjoy the breathtaking ocean view and balmy breezes.  This island ...
