Time to Buy a Vacation Home?

Okay. This has been an ongoing question for two years, and the verdict is still out. The economy is in severe flux, and most of us haven’t experienced these types of ups and downs combined with no clear indicators of the future. Right now, the market is rebounding or is at the top of a bear rally. Who knows? But, with nearly 2,000 auto dealerships closing and GM about to close down for the summer, that could bring the unemployment figures well beyond the expected 10% by year’s end. In turn, many more foreclosures could be in the pipeline.

Alternative Energy is Essential to Moving the Economy Forward

Have you noticed how oil prices are constantly one step ahead of the stock markets whenever they go up. You can take that as a warning that every time the market/economy improves, the cost of gas, food, and energy will go up, and drag things right back down again. You can watch the value of crude oil go up with every twitch in the market. That’s why it’s imperative that we change our energy sources immediately.

Vacation Homes Are For Fun!



Most vacation home sites are about rentals or real estate sales. While you can post your vacation properties for free on this site, either to rent or to sell, the focus is really about living in your vacation home. Here, you can find information about buying a home or condo, building your vacation home, or buying land. And, you'll have access to thousands of products and ideas to help you get the most out of your vacation home.

It doesn't matter if you have a parcel of land for camping, a seasonal cabin, or a luxurious vacation mansion. It's all about your lifestyle and enjoyment. We all need our escapes to live an enjoyable life and pursue our interests. This site is about your vacation property.

Summer Barbecues


There are tons of things to do on vacations and around the vacation home. But the one thing that brings everything together is a good old-fashioned barbecue. That's where the secret recipes don't stay secret for too long. And, it's usually the focal point of summer fun.






Hiking Season's Here!


Hiking is one of the most popular activities near a vacation home. Views like this one are usually just a short distance away.

Most vacation properties are within a short distance of great views like this one. They generally require a short hike to get to them, and you can often spend the entire day, or even a week hiking in the mountains. All you need are some sturdy hiking boots and a daypack for short hikes. For longer hikes you may want to get a backpack and a tent. And, don't forget your camera! You never know what you'll see.






Time For Spring Training

You've been on the treadmill, the stationary bicycle, lifting weights... all fairly boring, and you've probably had enough of this. It's time to change the scenery, actually have fun, and get your daily exercise in at the same time. Bicycles provide excellent excercise for building your wind, strength, and toning your body.

Hiking is another terrific excercise for building endurance, balance and strength. It's time to get off the treadmills and get out into the real world. You'll be amazed at the difference in your workout when you're constantly on uneven ground, climbing hills and mountains, walking over boulders near a stream. All of these build strength and the kind of dexterity you remember as a teenager (or still enjoy).

Building Off The Grid Could Pay
For Your Renewable Energy System!

alternative energy for vacation homesThose backroads that surround your vacation destination are often overlooked by developers simply because they have no access to electricity. Land for sale in such locations is often substantially reduced (often as much as 50%) for that same reason. That could easily be more than enough to cover the expense of a solar or wind-powered system. And, you often get a more private lot, greater acreage, mountain views and many other features that can be more appealing than suburban style vacation home developments. Green vacation homes make solar and wind power viable options.

A lot of islands have no central grid, but they make perfect getaways for vacation homes. With solar or wind power, satellite TV, cellphones, and dozens of gadgets to add to your freedom, you could become more independent than ever.
