hoa: Cary, NC: Searching for Properties with No Home Owners Association
- 01/18/11 03:43 PM
Home Owner Associations are quite common in the Cary, NC, area, and nearly universal in neighborhoods of new construction. In the 1990's regulations were passed mandating that developers provide for maintenance of common areas in new subdivisions of over 20 homes. This provision almost always leads to creation of an entity to handle this maintenance. Ergo, the proliferation of neighborhood Home Owner Associations. "HOAs."Homeowners pay dues to the HOA for this management. In townhome and condo communities, the dues may also cover landscaping and exterior building maintenance. This will typically result in higher HOA dues in these communities.Generally, the Association will … (3 comments)
hoa: Chickens? In Cary, NC? Maybe one day!

Chickens? In Cary, NC? Maybe one day. We can hope. I was in Asheville, NC, a few weeks ago, and the folks next to my sister had these beautiful "free range" back yard flocksters. "Free range" meaning as far as they could wander in about 6,000 square foot impoundment. they were gorgeous, and my sister says the FRESH eggs are even better.
But, keeping chickens in the back yard is illegal in Cary. Raleigh folks have chickens. Durham folks have chickens. Chapel Hill folks have chickens. So what's up in Cary? Are our leaders so afraid of a few … (9 comments)
It seems that some Cary, NC, residents are considering asking the Town of Cary to intervene and to develop subjective appearance standards for homes in Cary. Cary subdivisions have historically utilized Home Owner Association structure to enforce individual architectural standards, and this has allowed residents to choose to buy in neighborhoods with or without HOA's. Without an HOA, or without architectural restrictions in loosely-restricted HOA neighborhoods, homeowners in older subdivisions have been free to express their tastes, within the … (8 comments)

hoa: Wake County, NC Real Estate, "Do I need an agent to buy a new construction home?"
- 05/29/07 03:46 PM
We hear it all the time: "Why do I need an agent to buy a new construction home?" It's a very appropriate question in Wake County, North Carolina. Half of our housing inventory is new construction. So, why should you use an agent when you can just go in and buy from the Builder's representative. The term "Builder's representative" should be one tip-off. That person is there to represent the Builder, to act in the Builder's interest, and to serve the Builder. Where do you fit into that picture? With the playing field favoring the Builder, you can level it by engaging a … (0 comments)
