Hello From Plett - September 2012

Spring is upon us, at last.  Let's all say a resounding goodbye to winter.  Everything is green and flourishing and is starting to bud.  Hopefully, this is a sign of good things to come and a prosperous year ahead.

August has been a sad month in Plett, with our Lagoon's new mouth claiming six lives in a tragic, family fishing trip gone horribly wrong.  Members of the Wildeman, Waits and Figland families, including an eight year old boy, drowned when their small boat capsized in the river mouth.  Extensive searches by NSRI, AMS Helicopters and police divers resulted in the recovery of four bodies, two men are still missing.  The whole community mourned these deaths involving three old Plett families.

On a lighter note, we are very proud of our RE/MAX Sales Associate, Bruce Noble, who has stirred, fried and grilled his way into the final of Plett's "So You Think That You Can Cook" competition, with a prize of a family trip to Mozambique.  Good Luck Bruce!!

We have seen a definite increase in interest in property over the past couple of months.  Volumes of sales have increased but prices remain low, with many bargains to be had.  Buyers still have plenty of choice.
