Asheville Area Second Vacation Homes - The Preserve at Wolf Laurel - 07:55 PM
Heading north from Asheville, NC today, we look forward to stepping, even if only briefly, on the Appalachian Trail  when we visit Second and Vacation Homes  at The Preserve at Wolf Laurel .   Here golfing, skiing, hiking and equestrian pursuits are on the agenda for second and vacation home owners.
Keeping these points in mind,a) proximity to Asheville,  b) the exterior and/or interior allure for a second or vacation home,  and c) zoning/deed restrictions, we travel about 25 minutes on I-26 to Exit 3. Another 20 minutes takes us to the gates of this eco-friendly development touted as a "a private, gated … (1 comments)

PRICING and our Crystal Balls! - 09:25 AM
I have been seeing a lot of articles regarding price reductions lately, but 1 I read recently stood out....it wasn't geared towards the listing agents but rather, the sellers. What a great thought! I am going to include something like this in my pre-listing packets (I will work on that in a future blog). We all know how very difficult it is to bring up the conversation of reduction's when dealing with our sellers---especially when we priced the home, we priced it to sell, and we missed that 'magic number'! When sitting with sellers discussing pricing, potential reductions, and market reaction, I … (9 comments)

makert stats thu March 2010 - 07:51 AM
Below are the preliminary numbers for March in Yellowstone County. Lots to be positive about, yet cautious about. When you look at the single family permits a huge increase from 2009 which is positive but needs a little perspective through March 2010 70 permits, 2008 71 permits 2007 98 permits. So if the trend continues my friends in the home construction business will breathe a lot easier. I would bet a dollar to a donut the huge push is the tax credits available for buyers in all the number s below. April will trend along the same lines due the tax … (0 comments)

Why Now IS the best time. - 08:36 AM
The $8,000 tax credit is for first-time home buyers only. For the tax credit program, the IRS defines a first-time home buyer as someone who has not owned a principal residence during the three-year period prior to the purchase. The tax credit does not have to be repaid unless the home is sold or ceases to be used as the buyer's principal residence within three years after the initial purchase. The tax credit is equal to 10 percent of the home's purchase price up to a maximum of $8,000. The tax credit applies only to homes priced at $800,000 or less. … (0 comments)

Listing right away at the right price? - 08:13 PM
" I'll start higher and see how the response goes?" This is not a good idea When the price is finally lowered it will attract fewer potential buyers.That may be the strongest negative. Often buyers will browse with their realtor at at a certain
price range and of course that listing will not show up. Because it is overpriced.
  Potential buyers and agents may wonder "why does this home have 142 days on the market?" Give it your best shot at first. What also happens is that the agent may loose that listing and guess what? the next agent … (4 comments)

Fort Myers Beach receives another National Award - 08:49 PM
structure
The resident and the government of Fort Myers Beach can pat themselves on the back. For the 5 the year in a row Fort Myers Beach has been recognized as a tree city. This national recognition is sponsored by the Arbor Day Foundation in cooperation with the National Association of State foresters and the USDA forest Services. It is a big deal as leaves filter the air and improves the air we and our fellow animal breath. We have long known that landscaping improves the value of a property and trees such as our dozen of palms and Floridian trees … (1 comments)

National Flood Insurance left in limbo needs a quick fix! - 09:34 PM
   What is wrong with these congressmen? After the US Congress allowed the National Flood Insurance to expire, thousands of homeowners with purchases in flood areas  are left on hold  and cannot close on their property. Was  it the result of badly inspired political tactics? 
In a statement to Local 10, Sen. Bill Nelson said, "Letting flood insurance expire was a result of more political games. I am asking the Senate to take it up and fix it as one of the first orders of business after Easter."
I do think that when it comes to the American People, politics … (3 comments)
