raleigh: "Make" the Market? Or Serve in the Marketplace? - 09/30/09 07:57 AM
The frenzy I see at the looming expiration of the $8,000 1st time Buyers' Tax Credit has me revisiting some thoughts I have had for a few years.
While the Cary/Raleigh area has fared better than many other market areas, we are not immune to the forces affecting the real estate industry.

raleigh: Raleigh's Flagship Newspaper, The News and Observer, has a new website. - 09/24/09 05:52 AM
The Raleigh News and Observer has unveiled their new site.
It has a cleaner look.

"I just want to see foreclosures." Whoops. Someone may have been watching a little too much TV, TV from outside our local Cary/Raleigh real estate market at that. When someone is asking for foreclosures, it rapidly becomes clear that one of two likelihoods is certain.
Either, they are an experienced investor … (5 comments)
raleigh: Little things matter in a house: The Potty Location - 09/20/09 08:07 PM

It happened again last night. Nice folks who were surprised that the home they found on my web site is not my listing. How can that be? How can a home be on MY site, and not be MY listing?
Easy. Behold: The magic of IDX. IDX is one of the functions of … (7 comments)
