Branson will soon have three wineries! Construction of a new winery in the Branson area is set to begin in November, while another is slated to open early next year. Branson already is home to Stone Hill Winery, which draws over 450,000 visitors a year. Now under construction, the $2 million Mount Pleasant Winery is set to open in February and the $8 million Branson Ridge Winery is scheduled to open early 2009. Branson Ridge Winery sits on 18 acres just north of Branson on U.S. Highway 465. The 35,000-square-foot complex includes a 1890s-era stone barn and banquet hall, a 1918-era Americana barn and bistro, a 1930s-era specialty foods market, and a modern glass and steel-covered foyer for special events.

I get these upadates from my friend Chris Every couple of weeks, which I have enjoyed and found to be informative. I thought I'd start passing them along to everyone out there so you can let me know what you think about Chris' take on the market. I hope it will spur many buyers to forget the Real Estate market doom and gloom hype so you can go get those pre-approval letters. When you do come see me you will receive representation you can count on. I will be with you every step of the way helping you with the purchase of your vacation home or investment property. Now is the time people get out there and buy some real estate. If it is your first home or your 100th now is the time to purchase while you have the upper hand as the buyer. I hope you enjoy this info from Chris. Week of: Monday...
