southern pines nc real estate: Single Family Home Inventory Now Below 1,050 in Pinehurst MLS - 07/20/10 12:04 AM
As of today, the inventory of homes for sale in the Pinehurst-Southern Pines MLS has dropped to 1,048.  That means that we are inching our way back to normal levels.  Normal would be 900 - 950 units for sale at this time of year; and under normal conditions supply and demand would be roughly equal.  A high inventory basically means that supply exceeds demand.  The good news is we are moving toward a situation of supply/demand equilibrium.  The Pinehurst - Southern Pines MLS includes all of Moore County, NC.  Pinehrust is the home of the world renowned Pinehurst golf resort, while Southern … (1 comments)

southern pines nc real estate: The Sly Fox - New Restaurant in Southern Pines - 06/18/10 01:43 AM
Mark Elliott of Elliott's on Linden has opened a quintessential British Pub in Southern Pines at the intersection of Morganton & Broad.  Or at least it's about to open.  We were lucky enough to attend the "soft opening" last night.  The only thing about The Sly Fox that's not 100% authentic is that the FOOD IS AWESOME.  Mark has been perfecting gourmet pub food for years at his Pinehurst restaurant, and now you can enjoy the payoff.  Last night, the waitstaff served guests samples of a lot of the new menu items.  Everything was delicious - and The Sly Fox has … (0 comments)

southern pines nc real estate: Pinehurst Area MLS Inventory Getting Closer to Normal Levels - 12/01/09 03:46 PM
The inventory of single family homes in the Pinehurst area MLS is dropping weekly and is about to go below the 1,000 mark for the first time in 2 years.  The Pinehurst MLS includes Southern Pines, Whispering Pines, Aberdeen and all of Moore County, NC.  The decline represents improved home sales since Sept; and some sellers simply withdraw their listings from the market as the holidays approach.  But at this time last year, the single family home inventory was well over 1,000.  As of today (Dec. 1 2009), there are 1,002 homes on the market.  In a normal market at this … (0 comments)

southern pines nc real estate: Southern Pines Country Club, Southern Pines NC - Pinehurst Area Golf Course Review - 08/10/08 04:31 PM
Southern Pines Country Club in Southern Pines NC is a Donald Ross Course that is a great place to play golf.  It's open to the public so anyone can have the experience of playing a Ross course that has been there for over 100 years.  The course is kind of short, but it has typical Ross greens that can be very difficult even when you hit a good shot to get on the green.  The course is always in decent shape despite the fact that the maintenance budget is a fraction of many other area courses.  The rates are very fair … (0 comments)

southern pines nc real estate: Mid Pines Golf & Country Club - Southern Pines, NC Golf Course Review - 07/30/08 09:47 AM
Mid Pines Golf & Country Club - Southern Pines, NC
Mid Pines is a Donald Ross golf course that is part of the Pine Needles/Mid Pines Resort.  The course is open to the public year round.  It is located in Southern Pines, just 5 miles from Pinehurst and right across the road from its more famous sibling Pine Needles.  The Mid Pines course reminds you a lot of Augusta National.  Obviously, it is not as long or quite as scenic, but the topography, the pine trees and the azaleas sure do make you miss those rare visits to the Masters.  The … (0 comments)

southern pines nc real estate: Longleaf CC Golf Course Review - Southern Pines NC Golf Community & Perfect Location - 07/16/08 10:45 AM
Longleaf Country Club
Longleaf is located between Pinehurst and Southern Pines on the site of former horse racing track, and the course actually weaves its way through remnants of the original fence around the track.  The 18 hole course is on the easy end of the scale as far as Pinehurst Area courses go.  Pro Tees - 6,600 yards (70.9/124).  Men's Tees - 5,400 yards (65.3/112).  I'm a very average golfer and I played from the Pro Tees - and it actually kept a few of the fairway bunkers out of my reach!  The front and back are totally different, with … (2 comments)

southern pines nc real estate: Hyland Hills Golf Course Review - Southern Pines, NC - 06/15/08 05:18 AM
Yesterday, I decided to go out and get in a round of golf at nearby Hyland Hills.  Hyland Hills is an 18 hole course in Southern Pines, NC - one of over 40 courses within about 10 minutes of Pinehurst. There are golf front homes and condos right on the course. I showed up at about 4 thinking I would play 9 holes to get back in time to catch live coverage of the US Open.  In the Pro Shop, they told me the "after 1 pm rate" was only $29 for 18 holes (cart fee included).  GREAT deal for a decent course in the heart … (0 comments)
