Buyers getting off the fence...

Lately, I've had a lot of calls from folks wanting to make a move to our beautiful state of North Carolina... from Maine, from New Jersey and from New York.  Most are looking for acreage first, 30 + acres and then a home if possible - at least while they build.  Our listings of premier properties has also taken off - so I am enthused about the state of real estate today! When shopping for land, try to work with someone who sells land, ask about easements, underground storage tanks, cemeterys, etc and walk every inch of it... get a current survey - yes it costs money - but it is the best money you'll ever spend - it's like buying a house and getting a home inspection. The surveyor can plot buildings, creeks, power lines, etc - discuss what the survey will show in detail.
