Life in North Georgia, Real Estate in the Mountains

Good News from the Wall Street Journal this morning. They report that home affordability has finally returned to its” pre-bubble” levels. The cloud on this good news is that we did not get there through jobs growth or earnings increases. Instead we arrived at equilibrium through falling home prices. Never-the-less, if we are at equilibrium at least we can look forward to an improvement in the market and be certain that when jobs recover it will get even better.

Hello from the Pro Shop,

The warm weekend had us out playing and enjoying the weather for a change. It is amazing what a little sun and fun can do for our attitudes. This weekend was a great reminder that spring will come again.

Thank you all for the positive feedback regarding the “greens” letter. It is our goal to continue this type of communication. We will strive to address issues that are voiced, and answer any questions concerning our golf community.

There have been questions regarding use of private carts on our course.
When discussing ways to increase cash flow, the idea to use only Bent Tree Golf Carts on our course was suggested. Private carts are a valuable asset to our golf course; the Board recognizes the freedom this gives our members. There is no serious discussion at Bent Tree about Private Carts not being allowed.

Golf Members
In saying Thank You, each Membership will receive Two Guest Passes and Two Ten Dollar Lunch Coupons. Coupons will be available at Bent Tree Golf Shop in early spring.
