homes: Cars, Houses.... they're all the same types of client. - 08/14/08 12:54 PM
Well, it's finally happened. After 10 years and 200,000 miles, my husband decided he neeeded a new car. Not that he doesn't love his 1998 Honda Civic, it just came to a point as to whether to put some money into a new clutch, or buy a new car.
Now, I've been married to Jeff for over 30 years, and I love him dearly, but making big decsions quckly is not his strong point.
When he got the bad news about the work needed on his car last Friday, I knew how my weekend was going to be spent. First he had to … (0 comments)

homes: North Carolina & Nationwide Appreciation, + find your area! - 08/11/08 12:45 PM
Wwe all know the 3 magic words in real estate are location location and location. Lately "all real estate is local" is the newest slogan.
However, what affects the rest of the country and the world affects everyone eventually, even the local real estate market. While some parts of the country were expericiencing double digit appreciation, we in North Carolina benefited because of increased migration from those areas, and the people bringing their equity in their homes to buy here. We were a little slower to catch on to the "bubble bursting" effect of the last 2 years in homes depreciation, but now … (1 comments)

homes: Rent Vs Own ratio - One List Cary North Carolina isn't on! - 08/05/08 02:22 PM
In thier latest article titled America's Most Overpriced Zip Codes, Yahoo.com reported on Saturday that Forbes.com has come out with an interesting way to look at investing in real estate.
In a report for Forbes.com, Hotpads.com produced a price-to-earnings spread for each ZIP code in the nation's 40 largest cities by comparing rental costs with buying costs for similar properties, based on number of bedrooms, location and price per square foot.
Price-to-earnings, or P/E, expresses how much one has to pay for each dollar of return. A neighborhood with a high P/E is overvalued because a buyer is getting a low return based … (4 comments)

homes: Former San Diegan missing the beach. - 07/11/08 11:21 AM
I'm becoming an Active Rain addict and recently found the AR groups for the San Diego area . As a former resident of 16 years in Lemon Grove, I'm missing the beach most of all this summer.

homes: Never miss an opportunity to learn & network - 07/08/08 05:12 PM
Just came back from our summer vacation, this time to Northern California in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. Even though we had lived in Southern California in San Diego for many years, raising children and working never gave us time to visit the northern part of the state.
We were visiting at the time of the brush fires throughout the state, but the scenery at Yosemite was still magnificent.
Luckily my friends and family are interested in real estate and houses as well as I am, because whereever we travel, I have to look at model homes, ads in the windows … (5 comments)
