maggie valley nc: Toxic Assets... The Government... and the Fairy Tale - 04/03/09 02:28 AM
(Maggie Valley, NC) Would the foreclosures, short sales and other toxic assets be getting cleared out if the lenders did not expect the US government to pay more for them? I only really know 'my market'. Every short sale and foreclosure has more than one offer on it. So why aren't they getting sold to the private sector; to buyers in the community?
Are they waiting because they think the Federal Government will pay more? Is this promise of government intervention enough to slow down the process of Private sector Capital flowing in to purchase the toxic assets?

maggie valley nc: Sellers need to know they are Behind the Curve - 02/15/09 05:19 PM
Market Analysis: Are you Behind the Curve?
As we have been hearing on the news; prices are falling in real estate. Appraisals are coming in lower. The market is different than it has ever been before. What does that really mean? It is shocking. It means that the value/price/sales price/list price of a house or property for sale is actually going down each month it is for sale.
This means that if you have real estate for sale and the price is too high; then you are behind the curve and losing ground daily. Every month (or year) that goes by … (6 comments)

maggie valley nc: Have you noticed Business is Picking Up? - 02/13/09 04:38 PM
It is too soon for the Stimulus Package to be working. There for - what could it be?
Business is picking up. More buyers are looking, more offers, more activity.
Is it just me or is it happening in other areas as well?
I do not think it is any new strategy on my part - I have been hanging in there. It is our 'slow time of year'. So, is it just a feeling or is it a trend?
I tried pulling statistics; but what should I compare it to - the good years of 2007, 2006, or what?

maggie valley nc: Capitalism in Real Estate - Free Enterprise is Alive and Working - 01/29/09 11:18 AM
I have been reading some articles that make me think.
Real Estate is one of the great success stories of Free Enterprise and Capitalism.
Real Estate is the basic Free Enterprise with individuals making decisions - taking the risks and gaining the benefits. The benefits may not be as explosive as they were in previous years; but the risks will be less also. Sometimes that is comforting to investors.

I am not ready to give up on the Free Enterprise system. There … (4 comments)

Maggie Valley, NC celebrates Bicentennial with Storytelling
Maggie Valley neighbors and visitors enjoyed a special day with regional and local storytellers and crafts people on July 12, 2008. As Maggie Valley celebrates its bicentennial, the storytellers told of country store politics, mountain preachers, hound dogs, and even the dumb blonde.
 
As one local storyteller stated," I learned to laugh at myself early on; cuz I realized I would miss out on half the fun in life if I didn't".
