For those of you who wish you were here there is a way to check out what’s happening. Check out the St John Spice web cam at: http://www.stjohnspice.com/spicecam/It is usually pointed at the Cruz Bay beach and ferry dock. It is fun to watch your frinds arrive and depart. Some even leave messages in the sand.
Another webcam is at Villa Serendipity overlooking Chocolate Hole. See it at: http://www.caribbean-on-line.com/caribbean-web-cams/chocolate-hole-st-john.shtml

The up turn in the St. John real estate market seems to be continuing. Over the weekend three more properties contracted:
A home on Gift Hill listed for $995,000
A waterfront parcel on Ditleff Point listed at $1.3M
A home at Point Rendezvous listed at $1.55M
This is certainly good news for all and I think shows that the market has bottomed out and is well on its way to recovery.

The Wall Street Journal’s front page news last week was titled: Stunned Home Buyers Find the Bidding Wars Are Back.
Article
This may be a stretch for the St. John Real Estate Market but we have been seeing a decline in the residential inventory with a healthy number of contracted properties this past month.
We recently featured a wonderful ‘Pottery Barn’ inspired home on our Islandia Real Estate Blog, the home wasn’t yet on the Multiple Listing Service. There were numerous inquiries in regard to this home and it went under contract in record time. Both the buyer and seller were pleased! This was not a distress sale, this was a very well priced, great looking home.

For sellers wanting to sell in this recovering market we don’t want your property ignored by today’s extremely value-oriented buyers. We also want to be able to show all of our customers properties that may be of interest to them. I am working with cash customers that aren’t finding the home of their dreams at the present time. Because of this I have been making contact with owners that don’t have their homes on the market, checking to see if they have any thoughts of selling.
With 9 out of 10 potential purchasers starting their search on the internet we market your home to the world. For the buyer looking for Real Estate information and the sellers looking to sell, contact Jane Kelly 340.776.6666, 941.544.5855, or email me at jane@islandiarealestate.com
Remember, by selling now, you’ll still have enough time to enjoy similarly low prices on your next purchase.

Thoroughly enjoyed a day of relaxation and exploration at Lameshur Bay on Saturday. The Lameshur ruins and the Tektite Museum are worth the trek to one of the more remote spots on the island. The Tektite Underwater Habitat Museum is a step back in time, evolving from the cold war as the United States vied with the Soviet Union for supremacy in space. This is where four aquanauts spent 60 days in the habitat on the first Tektite mission.
Sunday started out with an early hike at the Leinster Bay Trail, beginning at the Annaberg ruins, following along an old road on the shore to Waterlemon Bay. We then hiked up Johnny Horn Trail at Leinster Point visiting the ruins of what was once the James Murphy Estate House, also called Windy Hill. One of the best views on the island, this site was also a boarding house, a Masonic Lodge, and a reform school in 1917.
These treasures are a part of the St. Johnian lifestyle, the simplicity, the beauty, the isolation, and better yet, no stoplights!
