north carolina: Home Inspections - A time for Buyer Access
- 07/22/08 01:16 AM
In North Carolina as in most states, the "Offer to Purchase" gives the buyer the right to conduct home inspections, termite inspections, etc. This is a time for the buyers to have total access to the property to determine its condition.

north carolina: Buyers, it's time to get off the fence!
- 04/02/08 01:30 AM
Despite lower prices and historically low interest rates, existing single family home sales remain weak. Locally, we have plenty of good homes to choose from in all price ranges, and interest rates remain low thanks to the Federal Reserve's rate cuts. So, why are so many buyers sitting on the fence? It's a fair guess that consumers are waiting for home prices and even interest rates to fall even further. Click Here to read the rest of this article. About the AuthorDavid C.

north carolina: To Rent or Buy, That is the question
- 02/05/08 09:41 PM
Should You Rent or Should You Buy? Things being equal it's almost always better to own your home rather than to rent. After all, you build equity and get to write off your mortgage interest. And if you meet the guidelines, when you sell you'll be eligible for one of the best tax breaks around. There are many issues that influence whether buying or renting is right for you. That said, home ownership has a significant tax advantage. When you sell married couples can earn up to $500,000 in gains on home sales tax-free, while singles get $250,000.
