The Soaring Appeal of Pickleball in the South
Posted by The Cobb Group on
How many of you are pickleball players? Did you recently get into it? Many existing communities are furiously modifying tennis courts to add pickleball courts and newer communities are including these in their amenity design. It has certainly picked up in popularity over the past few years. It is not hard to find a friend or neighbor who's playing. We've even had requests from clients who are looking for homes in an active pickleball community. No problem there! Port Royal just newly resurfaced 6 new courts for player use and Palmetto Dunes is one of the most active pickleball communities around. Even vacationers can get in on the fun!

Lowcountry Real Estate Market Report - July 2021
This morning I found a snake waiting for me at my back door while I was making coffee! I instantly started looking up articles on snakes to find out what kind it was and learned that May is snake season. I mean...I'm a little ahead of the curve since it's only April! They must know that I am a safe house because I would never hurt them ????.
There is magic in those early morning hours before the rest of your house wakes up. I love to sit in the stillness of the dawn light while the world slowly wakes up; when the birds begin to chirp, animals begin to stir, and the light is a magical thick yellow-y orange. There isn’t a better time to rein in your day than before it starts. It’s the perfect time to center yourself and set up how you want the day to play out. There will always be surprises, but this way you start with ownership. Don’t turn on the computer or focus on what happened yesterday. Take the time to begin with something fresh. Journal, blog, read, or sit in the stillness. Fill up your tank. The surprises that do flow in throughout your day will be more manageable. Sleep is still #1…
The market is tight as inventory is low, and there are many buyers circling to get into the game. Right now it's fair to say that we are knee deep a “Seller’s Market” in the South Carolina Lowcountry and that one needs to be very savvy in order to have their offer accepted.
A key. A perfect fit. Without a key, the door will not open.
How do you start your morning? Do you wake up in rush or do you take your time? Most of us start running a reel in our mind of all the things we need to do. However, if you changed your reel and made a list of all things you were grateful for and told yourself positive affirmations, your day may look differently. The more positivity that you encounter throughout the day, the more positive you’ll stay. It’s actually a proven fact!
Pork bellies, oil, corn and soybeans are all commodities just like the real estate market. The market fluctuates and is controlled by supply and demand, as well as weather and the financial state of the world among many other issues. The difference with real estate is that there is also heightened emotions surrounding each transaction. Shame, guilt, anxiety, anger, frustration and pride are just some of the feelings connected to a real estate transaction. People seem to attach personalities to homes and give them much more weight than is necessary. Your job is to help your Seller manage the emotion.
Don’t let anyone fool you by “selling” to you that you need to be the best. The key is not being the best. The key is to be better than you were yesterday. To me that means you are always learning. You are always striving to do the next best thing. We can’t know everything, but we can always find the people and resources that know what we don’t. Working with me, or any type of career/life coach, is broadening your scope of knowledge. You will have direct access to someone who you can ask all your questions to and help you make your path a little smoother. Why make learning harder?! Let’s talk and see how working with me can help your business.
