28443: "Water Peep" Views - Appraisers Count on Truth in Marketing! - 10/28/11 11:09 AM
 “Water Peep” was my mother-in-laws term for broken views available from homes across the street from waterfront properties.

  Several years ago, we listed a second row property in Hampstead, NC 28443, across the street from the Intracoastal Waterway.  The home, a 40 year old brick ranch, was never built for views.  To make it worse, the waterway home on the ICWW side had a leafy privacy screen.  Yet, my client’s home was on higher ground and, in leafless seasons, permitted “water-peep” from outside.

28443: Are You Ready for your “bight of the apple?” - 10/05/11 05:53 AM
Are you ready for your “bight of the apple” otherwise called an offer on your home ?  When that offer comes, you’ll want to be ready because offers, unlike apples, don’t grow on trees today.
And, it’s normal for Buyers making offers today to already have a back-up plan.  That meaning, they’re already prepared to go in another direction if agreement cannot be reached regarding pricing and terms for your home.  Often today, that other direction is new construction and there is more of it in Hampstead with every passing day!
If buyers are thinking ahead, it behooves you to think … (0 comments)
