INQUIRER REAL ESTATE WRITER
Just 45 days into Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Orleans Homebuilders Inc., of Bensalem, said Wednesday that it had executed an agreement valued at $170 million with NVR Inc., of Reston, Va., for the purchase of what the company called "substantially all" of Orleans' assets.
The agreement is meant to establish a floor price that Orleans chief financial officer Garry P. Herdler said the company hoped would lead to "other, better, and higher bids."
Orleans, in a motion filed Wednesday in Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, asked for bids to be due June 16.

cary: basement: below ground and above ground - 03/24/10 12:47 PM

From: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-are-the-different-kinds-of-basements.htm One design element available to houses built on sloped lots is known as a walk-out or daylight basement. A walk-out basement features a doorway which leads directly to a ground level patio or backyard.  Not all house plans can incorporate a walk-out or daylight basement, however. Much depends on the degree of slope and the preferred direction a house should face.  A walk-out basement works best when the house is built on top of a sloping lot which falls away at the back end.  The ground level and higher floors can be located on the top of the slope and the walk-out garage should face a … (0 comments)

cary: RTP, NC 北卡科研金三角房屋投资概况 - 03/09/09 07:47 PM
美国北卡罗莱纳州目前是全美科研实力最强的地区之一，其中以"科研金三角"闻名于世，区域内平均每千人中就有3位博士, 是世界上每平方公里拥有博士、硕士人数最多的地区。
三所毗邻高等学府为顶点形成的"研究三角"
·杜克大学（排名第8）·北卡大学教堂山分校（排名第28）•北卡州立大学（排名第86） 
研究三角区是全美合同性研究机构密度最高的地区，每年联邦政府投入的资金高达20亿美元。在面积约30平方公里的"研究三角园"内，就有145家公司，其中包括有IBM、葛兰素史克、思科、北方电信和联想等设立的分公司或研究机构，他们雇有3.9万名高技术人员，其中82％的雇员为园区内的跨国公司工作。联想总部也设于此。
政府积极给予企业税收优惠政策，很多企业搬入金三角。仅Fidelity一家公司未来五年会搬入5000员工。政府预算到2020年金三角人口会由现在80万增加到110万。州政府正在兴修17个新学校。

这里气候宜人、环境优美、价廉物美、交通便利，是一处极具吸引力的、适合人们投资，工作和创业的好地方。
目标小区(27519)：该小区离三所高校开车均低于半小时。 由于外籍人士贷款于08年8月底终止，外籍人士必须一次付清。以下是好区内最低价位房产： •$139,000 精装修连体别墅，两房两个半浴室， 1456square feet, 135平方米，外加一车库，前院后院，阳台，离新区小学初中高中3分钟，走路到购物中心，30亩公园。周边房价有高到$1,200,000。出租估算$1100。
受这次危机影响,北卡房价有10%下调。但由于本身价位低廉，接近成本价位，出租迅速，租金颇高。正是投资好时机。

以下摘自新浪网：
　　"目前对国内的房地产投资者来讲比较方便的投资项目是美国的独立屋(Single Family House)，俗称别墅。从升值潜力以及出租角度考虑，加州，德克萨斯州和北卡罗来纳州比较有价值。投资的收益主要包括房地产升值及租金收入。投入包括购房款，每年的地产税(大概是购房价格的1%左右，各州稍有不同)，物业费(大约每个月100美元以内)，以及租房中介费用(10%以内)。      北卡州的发展潜力,首先是人口增长与农田开发，根据福布思报导，2005年从外地移入北卡的人口为264,000人，使北卡州上升为美国前10个人口最多的州(889万)之一，预计到了2011至2013年，人口将会增长一倍，达到2000万人。美国农业部也报导，2006年北卡洲是全美农田减少最多的州，当地官员透露，2007年州政府将拟定限制农田开发的相关政策，保护绿色植被，这将会使现有的开发土地更加宝贵。　　第二是市场经济与杠杆作用。过去七、八年来，北卡的房市没有太大变化，包括科技金三角的地区也是如此，到了2006年初，北卡房价开始微幅上升，目前为止，当美国大陆48州所有地区房价下跌的同时，却唯独此处的房市还在持续看涨，并且上升的情况相当好。根据CNNMoney.com的报导，2006年第4季度北卡中等房价平均上涨14.5%，"
