homes in hubert nc: Bloggers - Take Heart, I Think We're Making Progress! - 04/08/09 06:53 AM
I received an email from Zillow this week saying a Consumer had posted a question on one of my listing.  Here is the question the reader asked:
"We just wondered if they were in grave need to sell this and if they would accept the zestimate"    
The listed asking price for this house is $299,500.  Zillow's zestimate is $204,000 to $211,00! 
Where do they get their comparables for my area?   I've done my homework (CMA) and have the figures to support the listing price. 
Is there some wiggle room?  Of course there is..... but not $95,000! 
House prices have fallen … (15 comments)

You have heard it said time and time again but it can never be said too many times or in too many ways "Real estate is local".  In other words what you hear from the news media about the housing market may not be true for your area.  What is true for one state, county, town or community may or may not apply to its neighbor.  That is why it is so very important that when you are ready to buy or sell real estate that you work with an experienced, local agent who knows your area.Onslow County North Carolina is … (9 comments)

homes in hubert nc: Onslow County NC Real Estate Truths - 11/01/08 10:14 AM
There seems to be some misinformation here in the Hubert, Swansboro, Jacksonville area of Onslow County, North Carolina concerning building costs.
It appears consumers assume that the cost of building a new home has fallen and that they can have a new home built as cheaply as an existing home.   WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! 
I have spent some time talking with local builders about this and contrary to what would seem logical-- the cost of building has increased quite dramatically.
Why, with home sales down nationwide?  The answer is not simple and it is multi-faceted.
Building supply prices have risen sharply.  … (12 comments)
