I just received this article from real estate writer Steve Bergman via Inman News, a service to which I subscribe. He equates the second-home markets of Fredericksburg, Texas to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, and the relative strength of those markets for San Antonio, Texas and Chicago, Illinois.
It's an interesting article and I think Anna Maria Island may have some parallels, particularly considering our Central Florida cities of Tampa and Orlando, and, perhaps most especially, Lakeland, from which beach-lovers have been coming to AMI for more than half a century.
Let me know what you think. Here's the link:
