Where are we now?

Everybody sees what they want to see.

I was made to feel recently that I simply see things through rose coloured glasses because of what I feel can happen in Grand Bahama. 

But I remember that Freeport itself became an entity though the vision of a man who stood in the midst of pine trees. That roads and buildings and the homes we presently occupy would not have come about if it were not for an idea that got it all started.

There are many naysayers, but even when Freeport began others didn't quite catch the vision but thought we will see about it anyway.

From a real estate point of view people are beginning to buy again. The banks have not been very forthcoming with loans so a lot of people are looking for lease to own. Just means people are beginning to think of other ways in which to get what they want.

Not many people are allowing their properties to be leased to own but ... funds will be acquired for the purchase of a lifetime.

It is still a buyers market but slowing shifting for those wanting to sell.

There is still a lot of talk about various expansions going on and people from Nassau have been calling for places to rent/purchase. A shift is in the air and more to come.

But like in the days of Noah there are some who could not believe which will not stop the flood of good set to come to Grand Bahama.
