Appraisals must be done fairlySunday, September 02, 2007 By STEVE McMILLANSpecial to the Press-Register Given all the recent attention being paid to property taxes in Mobile and Baldwin counties, I think the public would benefit from some more information and background on property tax and appraisal issues. The Alabama constitution and state law make it very clear that all property must be appraised at fair market value. Property owners must be treated fairly and governments must comply with the law. Indeed, the constitution demands that "all taxes levied on property in this state shall be assessed in exact proportion to the value of each property." Furthermore, the Code of Alabama clearly mandates involvement of each county tax official, governing body, board of equalization and the St... 09/03/2007

Gulf condo projectsSunday, September 02, 2007 By KATHY JUMPERReal Estate Editor Larry Wireman won't build more condominium units at Caribe Resort in Orange Beach until the market heats up, but he does plan to construct the 14,000-square-foot Caribe Restaurant overlooking Perdido Pass, the Gulf of Mexico and Cotton Bayou. "It's something I promised the people that bought in here a long time ago," Wireman said. "I think it will enhance the property values. The owners can walk from their unit along the boardwalk to the restaurant." Almost two years of sluggish condominium sales have caused many developers to kill some new projects and put others on hold. It's difficult to get financing for new condo construction with almost 3,000 units -- about 1,350 of those Gulf-front -- already on the m... 09/03/2007

Coast condo industry pushes for action on rising insurance rates9/1/2007, 11:00 p.m. CDT By GARRY MITCHELL The Associated PressMOBILE, Ala. (AP) - As Labor Day tourists take an end-of-summer beach trip, owners of thousands of condominiums that line the Alabama Gulf Coast say they're getting burned by soaring insurance premiums. Insurance legislation aimed at making coverage available and affordable on the coast since rates spiked after Hurricane Katrina couldn't come soon enough for the resort real estate industry. "It's horrible. Rates have gone through the ceiling," said Fort Morgan builder Greg Miller. Miller said Friday he paid $22,000 in coverage on four condo units until Katrina struck two years ago. He said he now pays $108,000 on his units for less coverage. "That's all we could... 09/02/2007

Fort Morgan State Historic SiteLocated at the tip of Mobile Point, Fort Morgan was an important element of coastal defense for the U.S. from the Civil War through World War II. The construction of Fort Morgan began in 1819 and finished in 1834. Fort Morgan was the first line of Confederate defense during the Battle of Mobile Bay in 1864. The onsite history museum contains artillery pieces, military uniforms, small arms and original photographs from the 19th century through World War II. A living history encampment held the first weekend in August commemorates the Battle of Mobile Bay and the Siege of Fort Morgan in 1864. 08/28/2007

The May numbers are in and they are good. Of course with the start of the hurricane season and all of the media hype they are not as awesome as they could have been. But the core numbers show that we have had SIX MONTHS of declining inventory!  A decrease of 724 units since November. Sales are good too!  63 Units closed last month, I know that is not white hot but it is very solid for the month of May. The year to date numbers look very encouraging too. 2006 Closed YTD end of May was 175 and 2007 Closed YTD end of May was an awesome 346 Condos!  That is 198% of previous year! I do believe that we will continue to see a correction in supply and demand through June and July....The trend continues! 06/12/2007
