raleigh: Cary, NC Real Estate, The battle for Affordable homes in Cary
- 05/11/07 04:40 PM
Averge new homes in Cary, NC cost about $500,000. That is not good enough for some Cary or Wake County or North Carolina lawmakers. One way to raise the average cost of housing is to make the entry level cost of housing higher, raising the average from the bottom up with unnecessary additional fees. Three current proposals and movements are coming together to make this less than lofty goal a reality. 1. Cary is now proposing to design home facades. Having been criticized in the past for being "Cookiecutterville," Cary leaders now are dabbling with proposals to meddle with what they see as overly repetitive design in new … (2 comments)
raleigh: "Foreclosures are for Rich People."
- 05/04/07 07:24 AM
I get the question routinely. The exchange goes something like this: "Can you help us find a foreclosure home?" The answer is, "Yes. I can. Why do you want one?" Most of the time I hear, "Well, we want to save money." Hoping to get a deal, or similar motivation. Most often it is a young couple looking for a first home. And I have to tell them the grim truth about our Wake County foreclosure market. "O.K. Do you have your mortgage lined up?" No point in shopping for a home if you haven't shopped for the money. If not, they need to backtrack and take … (11 comments)

raleigh: Buyer asks, "What's the black stains on the roof of so many homes?"
- 03/02/07 11:38 AM
One of the first things a Cary Buyer relocating from the North notices is the black stain that develops on many roof surfaces in the Triangle area. And they want to know if it is a problem, or if the roof is degrading. The stain is cosmetically unsightly, but harmless to the shingles. It is caused by an algae, and actually is the algae's waste. You will see it in areas of a roof that stay damp a little longer than areas that quickly dry. It is prevalent on the north side of a home, shaded areas, and valleys that hold water just … (6 comments)
