Public Input Meeting

9 a.m., Saturday, July 26

North Charleston Convention Center

If you care about the quality of life in the Lowcountry, the chance to make your voice heard is Saturday, July 26 at the North Charleston Convention Center. We know it?s not first thing you?d like to do on a Saturday in July, but the Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments (COG) will kick-off a region-wide effort to create a vision for the future of our tri-county area and this plan will be a multi-year process to providing a first of its kind blueprint to regional planning.

The development of a regional land use, transportation and infrastructure plan and a vision for how we as region want to grow is one of the most important aspects to REALTORS® having a secure future. As a first step in the process, the COG and their consulting team are conducting a survey to have citizens communicate on what is important to be included in a regional plan to protect the area's quality of life. To take the survey, or to learn more about the regional plan, visit HYPERLINK "http://takeaction.realtoractioncenter.com/ct/4pXwy6E1oY5U/"www.ourregionour plan.org.

If you choose to attend, please take the time to email your thoughts on the day to Ryan Castle at HYPERLINK "mailto:ryan@charlestonrealtors.com"ryan@charlestonrealtors.com. Your feedback is important.

According to the National Association of Realtors, the market is projected to have a recovery of sales during the second half of this year. Though the real estate market is not out of the woods yet, the pending housing stimulus bill being considered by US Congress is critical in assuring the healthy recovery of the market.

Did you know that you can easily offset your rising Energy expenses with a few affordable Energy Star applications? Well, Energy Star recognises two main problems in regards to home and business comfort and efficiency... Heat gain + air loss = higher electric bills and less comfort. Unfortunately, homes these days are built to meet a standard code. This code calls for the bare minimum in overall structural efficiency and many times, it seems that the bare minimum is all the builder intended to achieve. Energy Star services that easily retro fit to any home can not only solve "Hot & Cold" rooms such as a F.R.O.G., but these services also increase the efficiency of a home by 40%.. This means less energy consumption and less money spent on utilities... If you could by a software chip for your car to increase it's mileage by 40%, then I bet you would. However, we easily look over the fact that residential structures account for 45% of all carbon pollutants. One average american home has the same annual carbon footprint as nearly 300 mid sized cars. Even worse, there is no offswitch on your home and it runs all day and night... You'll be amazed at what a free Energy Star home evaluation can teach you about adding comfort and saving money on your homes utility costs.

When you are selling your home, you talk to several different realtors, interviewing each one to find the best one for you. You want someone that will represent you well and create an effective marketing campaign for your home.

Most experts agree that a good rule of thumb is that homes appreciate about four to five percent per year. This number varies a little depending on the year, location, etc.

Another hotel has entered the competition in Brevard County for the traveler's dollar. The first Fairfield Inn & Suites on State Road 192 in West Melbourne will cater to the business traveler and leisure visitors driving down I-95. The Fairfield's 83 rooms join about 12,000 hotel rooms across the Space Coast. "It's not an easy market," said Clancy Cipkala, general manager of the Fairfield Inn & Suites. "Anyone can go down in rates, but the key thing in this economy is to take extra care of the customer." While the northern part of Brevard County finds its strength in leisure tourism, hotels in the south part of the county tend to cater to the business traveler. Many hotels, like the Crowne Plaza Oceanfront, the Hilton Oceanfront and the Radisson on the beach north of Indialantic, use business travelers as a base for their sales. On the mainland, hotels like the Hilton Rialto, Residence Inn by Marriott and Courtyard by Marriott go head-to-head with Fairfield Inn & Suites for the corporate business, such as the employees of one of many defense companies in Brevard County. Cipkala said the four-floor hotel cost about $7 million to build and targets the mid-priced business traveler. Each of the rooms have a wireless Internet connection, a 32-inch flat panel TV and other amenities. "You have to have the latest technology," Cipkala said. "That's what the customers ask for." The hotel, with rooms featuring a retro look, is owned by West Melbourne Hotel Associates LLC.
