For decades the link between attractive tourist destinations and real estate has been growing. It’s no secret that people tend to buy second homes or retire in places they’ve visited and loved on vacation. Entertainment is a main reason Southern California has grown into a population center, with film and television production driving so much of the economy there.
Consider Las Vegas, Nevada and Branson, Missouri. These two vacation destinations frequently share some of the same entertaining experiences. Want to see Donny and Marie Osmond? How about taking the family to an IMAX movie? The entertainment offerings are similar up until the availability of gaming.
Developers are building great master-planned communities in vacation destinations. Some have come up with rather innovative ideas like fractional ownership to woo vacationers who like to make repeat visits.
At Branson Creek, The Cliffs at the John Daly-designed Murder Rock are 1,400-square-foot fractional units located on the front nine of the golf course. Purchasing just 12 fractional shares gets buyers three full weeks per quarter in any available Registry Collection resort property. The first fractional units begin construction at John Daly’s Murder Rock this fall, with fractional shares now available for purchase.
