chatham county: What County is Chapel Hill, NC in? - 08/19/10 07:24 PM

What County is Chapel Hill, NC in? You would think this question should have a simple answer! The short answer is that the Town of Chapel Hill is in Orange County, NC. The long answer goes like this...There are areas surrounding the Town of Chapel Hill ,with a Chapel Hill address, in both Chatham, Durham and Orange Counties. There are also areas with a Chapel Hill address that are in the Carrboro municipality. It is really a matter of postal areas determining the address. If the Chapel Hill address is in Chatham County the homes will have low Chatham County … (0 comments)

Governors Park, Chapel Hill, NC produced by Marianne Howell Wright on WellcomeMat Governors Park is one of the Governors community of neighborhoods in Chatham County with a Chapel Hill address.

chatham county: Chapel Hill Area Market Statistics for June - 08/02/10 10:12 AM
 
 
Happy Summer!

Here are the market statistics for June and comparasons with last year.
Chapel Hilland Carrboro
Chatham County
Orange County
Durham County
Hillsborough
Sales have been up mostly I think because of the rush to take advantage of the tax credit but with the incredably low rates and and some real deals available I expect the market here to be stable. The really desirable homes that are priced right still sell quickly and I would advise being careful that you don't buy a dog just to get a good deal because the homes with problems are … (0 comments)

chatham county: So You Want to Build~Part 2 - 02/08/10 02:51 PM
Mark, Robert and Laura all gave you advice about what to do about buying the lot. You asked your agent, Marianne, what she thinks you should do. Marianne said that it's a great time to buy a lot and build because prices are down for land, labor and materials. So she suggested that you go ahead and get the lot now and put your house on the market asap. You are excited about looking at lots and nervous about everything involved in getting your house ready to sell and also about the necessity of moving to an apartment.  Several weeks have … (0 comments)

chatham county: Chatham County NC Real Estate - 10/31/09 11:34 AM
Chatham County NC Real Estate
For years a visitor to the Triangle wouldn't hear much about Chatham County. It was missing from area maps and rarely mentioned in the local news and weather. I think that´s because it has been a rural county without a large center of population. Things are changing  fast now because of Chatham´s location surrounded by Orange, Durham and Wake Counties, completion of major roads, and the growing population of the Triangle.  Much of Chatham County is still very rural but North Chatham has seen quite a bit of growth in the past few years with the … (0 comments)

chatham county: Briar Chapel, again and again and again - 10/01/09 10:25 AM
Briar Chapel does a great job keeping in front of the public. Thursday night Vanguard Homes in Briar Chapel had a reception for those who have contributed to their success in the neighborhood.

I met several new homeowners who are really happy with the neighborhood and another couple who are just getting started with the building process.

chatham county: Fearrington Village, Chatham County~It's a date! - 08/03/09 02:03 PM
It's a date! One night while at dinner in a popular Chapel Hill restaurant I overhead  a 30's something guy at the next table (the tables are REALLY close there) telling a friend that his favorite place to take a date was McIntyre's books in Fearrington Village. 
I thought that was kind of surprising so I continued to listen, paying attention to my husband at the same time. It seems that a book store is free and  at McIntyre's there is always something going on.

 
 
After visiting the bookstore there are shops to explore, good food to … (0 comments)

One of the most exciting new neighborhoods in the Triangle is Briar Chapel located in Chatham County just outside of Chapel Hill. As one of the first of the Triangles first certified EcoBrokers I've had a special interest in neighborhoods that provide a true green built and designed environment.Briar Chapel is a green built mixed use neighborhood of 1589 acres with 900 of the acres dedicated to open space which will never be developed. Twenty four miles of interactive walking and biking trails wind through the rolling hills and woods of the neighborhood. There are parks, ponds, a winding creek … (1 comments)

chatham county: Around Town~Chatham County Orchids - 11/28/07 02:18 PM
 Use orchids when staging a home
When I'm staging a home for sale I love to use live orchids. The blooms last at least 30 days, (usually enough time to get the house sold!) and add simple, large structural interest without being fussy. Here is an orchid arrangement in the dining room of my new listing at 107 Buckeye Lane, Sunset Creek in Chapel Hill. 
 
Today I took a drive through beautiful country side to my orchid supplier and orchid babysitter in Chatham County, Orchids by Hanks Chapel.
They sell many orchid hybrids and species and will arrange them for you in one of their containers or … (0 comments)
