How do we foresee market changes and trends? Certainly nobody has the definite bead on what's ahead and how variables can impact the final result, but trying to recognize growth and current dynamics in a given area is possible.

In our area, we are still experiencing so much development throughout the county even though the real estate sales are down somewhat from this time last year. With the recent dredging done to enhance our channel depth, the Port of Brunswick is deemed to be the fastest growing port in North America. New schools have opened to accommodate the student's growing numbers with even more school sites in the planning stages for the near future. The Jekyll Island Authority's plan to enhance amenities and lodging choices for our guests has everyone very excited about putting our lovely Jekyll back on the map as a convention choice and destination for more guests. If you care to read about the development plans on the table go to www.rediscoverjekyll.com to review. (Thanks to Brian Brodrick for providing that link!) New shopping and dining choices have sprung all over the county, particularly close to exits off I-95. New subdivision communities have given homeowners choices in starter home price points up to upscale areas with high-end features.

All in all, the outlook for Glynn County's future still looks bright. If you have any specific questions or interests regarding the Golden Isles of Georgia, I would be very pleased to attempt to help you.
