wilmington: CNN: First price drop on homes
- 01/24/08 04:24 AM
In an article by David Goldman on CNN.com, a report has come out stating that "the median price for a home dropped 1.3 percent to $219,000 in 2007, while total home sales plunged by 13 percent for the year". This article appears just days after Merrill Lynch report that predicted that home sale prices would drop by 15% in 2008.

He calls the Merrill Lynch figures "way too pessimistic" and predicts that the current … (0 comments)
wilmington: Support the NC Coastal Federation and the Cape Fear Coast!
- 10/30/07 09:05 AM
Yesterday I was at my favorite place, the NCDMV, to renew my license plate and I discovered an opportunity to support the NC Coastal Federation both financially and publicly. Yes Indeed...

However, I believe in protecting our beaches before Real Estate! Having grown up on and around the coast my entire life I believe preservation is essential for our personal enjoyment of the ocean and our children. For more than 25 years, the … (0 comments)
