The Power Of Two

Monday, January 22, 2007
by The Hat Team

The Montgomery Advertiser has an article this morning recognizing Blake and Bettie Field for their work in revitalizing neighborhoods in Camden and Montgomery. Blake and Bettie have rehabbed eight homes in Camden and one in Montgomery, helping both communities preserve their history.

Too often, little is done to preserve deteriorating buildings. As a result, once vibrant neighborhoods often become slums or low-rent districts. Many times it only takes one person, or in the case two, to go into a neighborhood and start to turn it around. One house is rehabbed, then another and another. Before you know it, the entire neighborhood has a new lease on life.

Older homes in older neighborhoods are wonderful investments, especially if you can get in on the ground floor of a neighborhood revitalization. If investing in older homes is something you are interested in, give us a call. We are glad to assist you in investing wisely.

A new report released by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta shows Alabama's economy in 2006 brought the state's per capita income to 86 percent of the national average...the highest reading on record.

Other good news for 2006 was a 3.6 percent unemployment rate which is the lowest in thirty years, an expanded employment base of 1.5 percent and a bright outlook for 2007 with Kia Motors building a new plant in western Georgia.

A strong economy correlates to a strong real estate market, making 2007 a great time to buy or sell a home in Montgomery! Contact us for all your Montgomery real estate needs in 2007.
