Buyers seem to have a lot going for them right now:

* Home prices are still very low

* There are still desperate sellers out there, offering steep discounts for homes already priced below market

* Interest rates are at record lows

For those that have been sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the right moment, it really doesn't get any better than this.

Many of you are aware that a Stateside businessman is attempting to develop the entire Mandahl Pond area via the construction of a large marina, hundreds of condominium rooms, private homes, and a large commercial center with shops, grocery, restaurant/bar, and more.

What many of you do not know is that this land is owned by the Virgin Islands. It is one of the few remaining undeveloped beachfront and waterfront locations owned by the people and used by the people. The pond itself is a nursery that is vital for the environment. Birds flock to this area on a daily basis. Fishermen use it for bait fish, while others handfish off the jetty everyday. It is a popular area for walking and swimming dogs. Mangroves line the entire pond and serve as a filter for the runoff from the surrounding hillsides. This is a phenomenal ecosystem at work, and it is truly being threatened.

I used to live on a sailboat. Not briefly, I am talking about a period of nearly ten years. It sure is a different lifestyle, and at this point, I have grown very accustomed to being a land dweller. But I also admit a slight addiction to YACHTWORLD and dreams of owning a larger sailboat again at some point in my life.
