highcroft: New Storage Facility to Open in Early April.
- 03/26/10 02:07 AM
Highway 55 Self Storage is on final inspections and should be open in early April. I visited the facilities this morning to check into wine storage. The facility is amazing, the rates are very reasonable and to have wine storage so close to the office and house is great. Wine storage is climate controlled with redundancy on the cooling units and power supply, the "bins" range in size from 2x3x6 to 6x6x8. My biggest concern is access and it looks like that will be very favorable. I love the fact I can reduce our consumption by unplugging coolers at home, and … (1 comments)

Ok this one has been on the market a while but with some serious cost cuttings this home now stands up and screams "buy me"!

highcroft: Snow Day!

Nothing like snow to shut down a town! I love the south! My trusty sidekick Rosie and I woke up to discover SNOW! In Cary, North Carolina?! So we put our coats on to investigate, word is a little snow in Cary shuts down the town...Rosie and I were about to find out! We got dressed in out toughest winter gear to brave these very dangerous conditions, frigid temperatures (hovering around 28* with a wind chill at a mind numbing 24*)deep snow (at least 2.5"). I know you are thinking, "what are they thinking, they may not make it!" but for … (1 comments)
highcroft: Highcroft Village Activity
- 11/10/08 05:00 AM
I just noticed a couple of things happening in Highcroft Village. 1. Homes are selling! Seven Pending! Priced from $440,000 to $709,000 and all above the $140 per sq ft price point. (The majority were priced in the high fours low fives). 2. It appears they reduced the price for the Parade of Homes and that special is OVER! the prices have gone back up on seven listings. Knowing this can't hurt! Highcroft Village is located in West Cary. West Cary is a pocket of mostly new homes between 751 and 55 between Green Level Church and 540. Only minutes from RTP, 540 and RDU … (0 comments)
highcroft: Growing Strong...an Update.
- 09/16/08 01:54 PM
Two months ago I wrote a blog about training for my first Triathlon. I indeed tried, scared to death of the 750 meter lake swim with 300 of my very competitive friends but I tried. The swim was great, after getting kicked in the face and poked in many other places I made it out of the water and four short minutes later brutally crashed on my bike!!! It was horrible, I came to upon hearing the burning sound of hydrogen peroxide on my raw flesh. Broken helmet, but no broken spirit. A great experience, I got into the game. Luckily there is no … (1 comments)
highcroft: All American Night in an All American Town
- 08/04/08 07:19 AM
Father, son, hot dogs, baseball and fire works. Does it get better than that on an August evening? Not for me, not last Friday. My eight year old son, Jack, myself and two neighbors and their sons went to USA National Training Center atThomas Brookes park to watch Team USA play Team Canada. It was very cool to see the field with the Olympic Rings and the Town of Cary logo, seriously how many towns have a picture like that one! Everything about the night was perfect, except the final score, but the game was very exciting. Team USA hit … (2 comments)

- 07/25/08 05:39 AM
These words are from the offical toast of North Carolina. If you are admitted to the Order of the the Long Leaf Pine you have "The special privilege to propose" this toast any where in the world. I am not in the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, and I doubt they will evey invite my Yankee behind. I do love that line. And reading it for the first time three months ago changed my existence in North Carolina. I started training for my first Triathlon with my neighbors. My first race is tomorrow! I am stoked, the goal is to finish, because … (2 comments)
highcroft: Highcroft Village in West Cary, Great Living!
- 07/25/08 03:48 AM
Impact design hit a homerun with the original Highcroft Subdivision and seems to be following it up with another consumer favorite, Highcroft Village. Located "next door" to the original on Green Hope School Road in 55 the location is amazing only minutes from the new 540/55 interchange you can get to RTP, Brier Creek or North Raleigh very quickly. The layout of the development was outstanding with higher density in the front and larger cul de sac lots in the back. With the home designs being built even the higher density homes live very well, and you do not fell as though … (0 comments)

highcroft: Update on My Favorite Active Listing..
- 07/09/08 03:12 AM
I really like this house it was a great buy when I wrote the blog a couple of weeks ago. 502 Millsfield Dr, Cary NC. Located in Highcroft Subdivision in Cary and backs up to Highcroft Drive Elementary School. A four bedroom, three bath, 3600 sq ft plus home for sale in the New Cary area of Cary North Carolina for way under market value. With a $25,000 price reduction, it is a screaming deal at $130.60 a sq ft (the average sold price per sq foot in the subdivision is over $142.00). The home needs some paint, but the "bones" are … (0 comments)
highcroft: Highcroft Market Update, Cary NC
- 06/23/08 08:31 AM
Highcroft Subdivision continues to show strength, even in todays market. With less than a six months supply and only one builder home left (the home is great, the pictures do not do it justice), Highcroft is finding itself. The interesting part is of the 14 active listings for sale in Highcroft ten have had price reductions in the last 30 days bringing some of them into the outstanding deal range, while others are still "just a bit outside". There is a foreclosure in Highcroft, but the good news for current residents is that it is fairly priced; for now. I really find this foreclosure interesting, because my … (0 comments)
highcroft: My Favorite Active Listing. 502 Millsfield Dr, Cary NC 27519
- 06/11/08 02:22 AM
I like to post active listings that I think are outstanding, they are not listed by me or even my company. They are just great buys that I have found doing market research. These are homes I would buy or let my freinds and clients buy based on value, location, outstanding features and the lifestyle the home provides. This listing is 502 Millsfield Drive, Cary NC 27519. There are way too many great things about this location... The Subdivision is Highcroft, one of the very few developments in Wake County that surrounds a brand new elementary school and according to wcpss.com … (0 comments)
highcroft: Cary / Morrisville North Carolina Market Report for April 2008
- 05/23/08 04:06 AM
The real estate market for Cary / Morrisville North Carolina continues to out-perform the national market. There were actually more homes put under contract in April 2008 than in April 2007. As these charts show the average price per square foot for homes sold is very positive as well, up $3 from April of 2007. The number of homes for sale in Cary is way up from last year but current pendings have brought the months supply to a very solid 6, a great number compared to the 9-24 months we are seeing in other parts of the country. A big reason for the … (1 comments)
