TOPIC: Beach areas work is up?

Do you inspectors in the resort areas fine inspections picking up. The beach inspections are picking up a little in NC and SC. How is it in your area.

I would be interested in hearing any info on Ocean City Maryland beaches as well?  anyone in that area?

We have some beach front property off Lake Erie, water is gettting a little cold.

Makes no differance here, but I dont think you here that people are moving Cleveland to be by the beach

Did one about 2 months ago, the seawall had major damage, the walk to the lake was unsafe and so was the deck. You could walk down to a large slippery rock then be battered around by the waves and displaced seawall. House had a upper level built just to look at at the lake. Was kinda cool, spiral staircase and balcony all around top level.

Now December in Minnesota, Staying relatively busy, but would always like more... The problem here is cold winter and everyone stays in and does not move unless they have too or are relocating here (my wife wants to move somewhere warm all year round). But, the market I think will be pretty much the same this year as last year here. One difference, I am now showing at the top of GOOGLE this time in the spring. Looking forward to a great year in 2011...My questions to all is are you guys getting the calls from people wanting to get into home inspections in your areas like I am here. I see more people trying to jump into this with the poor economy and construction jobs...

Have to agree with Rob; I've been busier than I was last year at this time.  Not really sure why, but not complaining.  Yes, I have fielded several calls about folks wanting to get into inspections.  There were more this summer.  I see the problem here being the lowballers.  They're dragging prices way down; it's made me take a serious look at my marketing.  The last few inspections haven't been concerned with price, and they've all been happy with what I've done, so I suppose it's going well on that end! 

That's all good news Prices on homes and interest are cheap right now. The longer these prices last, the safer people will feel. Most homes are very affordable right now, people are just afraid to take the leap (which is understandable!).
