hampstead nc real estate: BUY OR SELL NOW!!! Fed backing out of purchasing mortgage backed securities.
- 02/13/10 02:01 AM
BUY OR SELL NOW!!! If there's not enough urgency there, I don't know how else to say it! I recently read this article in the Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/01/24/AR2010012402996.html?hpid%3Dtopnews&sub=AR. This is another article about the Federal Reserve backing out of purchasing mortgage backed securities in March. Simply put, the Fed put up about $1 TRILLION to keep interest rates artificially low to help the housing market get back on track when the economy was tanking. In many ways it worked. It got interest rates back at historic lows and helped people refinance, buy, and sell homes. As everyone knows, you can buy … (2 comments)
hampstead nc real estate: A Study of Coastal NC Real Estate Market Trends
- 02/12/10 10:52 PM
We are beginning a brand new year in our real estate market that we're really excited about! In January, we completed our business plan for 2010 and studied our market "seasonality" to find out how much business is done in each quarter of the year. Here is what we found for our Southeast Coastal NC Market: 18 % of the year's business is done in the 1st Quarter (January-March). 28% was done in the 2nd Quarter (April-June). 31% was done in the 3rd Quarter (July- Sept.). 13% was done in the 4th Quarter (Oct.-Dec.). Since our market (Wilmington, Hampstead, Topsail Island … (1 comments)
hampstead nc real estate: New Year; New Outlook on Coastal NC Real Estate
- 12/21/09 01:38 AM
We're wrapping up 2009. Despite all the doom and gloom national news about real estate, we had a great year in our real estate market (Hampstead, Wilmington, Jacksonville, Topsail Island NC). Our team and all our agents are in the process of finishing up our 2010 production goals. We're shooting high, and I continue to be very optimistic about our local real estate market. The truth is, we live in a wonderful place that has so many attractions. We have the various beaches, downtown Wilmington, the aquarium, and a growing movie industry. The bottom line is that people love to come … (1 comments)
hampstead nc real estate: In the spirit of Black Friday and the holiday just passed, enjoy discounted prices in Hampstead, Wilmington and NC Beach Real Estate!
- 11/29/09 11:52 PM
With the Thanksgiving holiday now fleeting, we will remember being bombarded with Black Friday sales pitches and we'll hear all the stories of crazy lines and pushy customers. And hopefully we won't hear of any more stampedes this year! In our real estate market, if there were a Black Friday-a time to buy property at discount-it would be right now. There are two main factors that in my estimation support this: First, prices in our Hampstead and NC Beaches markets have really dropped. It's about supply and demand, and there is a huge supply, which drives the prices down. Second, economic … (0 comments)

hampstead nc real estate: "Short Sale" is the Buzz Word in Today's Real Estate Market, especially Surf City & Topsail Beach NC
- 11/02/09 11:02 AM
"Short Sale" is definitely a buzz word in today's market. There are many short sales in our local market of Hampstead, Wilmington, Jacksonville, and especially on the beaches- Surf City, Topsail, and Wrightsville Beach. We understand what it takes to represent a seller in a short sale and help them navigate the short sale with their lender and try to get the property sold-and approved by the lender-before the property goes to foreclosure. But short sales are very tough, and they don't always work out. Here is an article that explains in detail why short sales are so tough. http://rismedia.com/2009-10-22/are-short-sales-anything-but-short/ Many … (3 comments)
hampstead nc real estate: EXIT Realty at the Forefront of Environmental Issues
- 10/27/09 02:11 PM
It's great to see so many people gaining interest in "green things" and the environment. From buying and living in an energy efficient house, to recycling, to buying and eating organic foods, I do what I can every day to support as many green initiatives as I can. The great thing about going green in real estate is that not only is it the right thing to do socially and environmentally, but it also can save you some green-money-over the long run. Energy Star rated appliances, windows, and ceiling fans are becoming the norm these days new constructions. So are tank-less … (0 comments)

hampstead nc real estate: ATTN Wilmington NC Area Buyers: Must hurry to get the $8,000 Tax Credit!
- 10/19/09 07:05 AM
Must Hurry to get the $8,000 Tax Credit!!- Most of you know about the $8,000 tax credit for "First Time Homebuyers." This certainly provided a boost to our local markets in Hampstead, Wilmington, and Jacksonville NC. A couple things many people don't know: (1) It's not limited to just first time homebuyers. You can qualify for this credit if you haven't owned a home in the last 3 years; (2) This credit ends November 30, 2009. This means if you don't close on the property before that date, you don't get the $8,000! That only leaves about 45 days, and … (0 comments)
hampstead nc real estate: New Home Appraisal Rules Stir Backlash in Hampstead NC
- 08/19/09 02:45 PM
The Real Estate industry nationwide has been feeling the effects of the new home appraisal rules. In many instances the new rules have resulted in appraisals coming in too low, and have been delaying closings and undermining sales. The article provided here by Alex Veiga in the Charlotte Observer focuses on the rising backlash of Realtors, mortgage lenders, and homebuilders, against the new rules. We have already witnessed this taking place in our Hampstead NC Real Estate market, especially in some of our new construction Hampstead communities. We recently had a new construction home not appraise because of these exact issues. I do … (2 comments)
