@@NickOlindeNick I realize this is not an economics channel but how do you see shotgun shacks 500 feet from $$$$ mansions on Harbour Island? How do regular people afford to exist on the Island? Thanks
@@jimlarkin7859 it is outrageous. Because of the popularity of that place the locals are literally getting priced out of their own market. It is crazy. In the last 4-5 years the prices have really shot through the roof, much like all other luxury goods.
@@NickOlindeNick based on your family’s decades of experience In Bahamas would you expect real estate downturn there if we see one in USA? Ie Does Bakers Bay, Harbour Island take a hit or just stay same.. Thanks
@@jimlarkin7859 For the most part their real estate market pretty much mirrors ours with the exception of those super high end islands that you mentioned. The people who buy on Bakers or Harbour Island will always have their money and will always want their getaway. As whole a lot of the land/house buyers in the islands can afford it with whatever happens, within reason, but it definitely does tick with the US market excluding the islands mentioned.
Nick. Will be at Bahama Beach club resort from June 14-19 with my two teenage sons. Hope to see you. Been following your videos. Any pointers or tips would be appreciated.
I wish I was there to meet yall! I am sadly heading back to Florida to pick up our boat as I write this and it looks like the weather is going to prevent me from crossing anytime in three next couple days.
Hi Nick & Mellie, LOVE your videos, and appreciated the lifeline you provided to us in the aftermath of Dorian when we were desperate to find ANY info about Treasure, the people on the island and recovery. Treasure holds a special place in my heart, since 1974 when my father flew our family down in our little Cessna. Fell in love and have since brought my husband, and several couples to stay over the years. Is there a way to message you to ask a villa recommendation question. 😊
Hey Karen! I do my best to be a resource so I really appreciate the kind words! Send me an email and I’ll give you my phone number and we can talk on the phone! My email is nickolinde@me.com I try to refrain from giving out my number in the comments for obvious reasons haha
I’m sorry for the late reply! Couldn’t find the vid where I made this comment until just now. 😅 Thanks so much for your reply! I’ll def give you a buzz to chat. We are supposed to come next month with another couple (been showing them your videos). Last night we all watched some together at dinner. We thought it would be really fun if we bumped into y’all while we were there. 😊
I have to ask, do ya'll know someone who owns one of the BBC condos and lets you stay in them for a reasonable price? lol I've been going down to Treasure Cay with my family since the 90's and they've always been insanely priced. I'm in my 30's now and when we head down we just stay in the villas or another house that's a good 1/3rd of the price of BBC.
Haha I have to admit that my grandmother owns a unit there that she is gracious enough to let Meli and I use when we want. It definitely is pricey there though.
Thanks, Nick! You always put in a great mood when I see your videos.
I do my best to keep it positive and make videos that do that for people!
Amazing lifestyle hope to make it there someday
You need to make it a point to come here!
Looking forward to Harbor Island..
The first coming on Wednesday!

Love the videos.
I appreciate it!
crossing haulover to Marsh H, would you go via west end or hole in the wall in July?
Ehhh from Haulover going around Hole in the Wall is probably a little closer
