I’m Often Asked “How’s the Real Estate Market?”

Posted in General Real Estate Market, Huntersville, Iredell County, Lake Norman, Lincoln County, Mecklenburg County, Real Estate, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on January 14, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

Having gone through the recent holiday season and the social gatherings the holidays bring, I once again got asked a particular question very frequently.  Fortunately for me, lots of folks know I’m a Realtor, so they ask me how’s the market.  Of course, most don’t plan to move anytime soon, but like lots of people, [...]

A Pretty Good Day- Again!

Posted in Iredell County, Lake Norman, Mooresville, tagged , , , , , , , on August 11, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Yesterday was one of those days that stick in my mind as a Realtor.  That’s because I closed on a Lake Norman property and got a verbal agreement on another Mooresville property on the same day.  That’s the kind of day I really like.  The funny thing is that the same thing happened last month.  I mean, what [...]

Listening to the radio while driving to my Mooresville office this morning, I heard a news report on the just released S&P/ Case-Shiller Housing Price Report.  The reporter was upbeat and stated that in the latest report of 20 American metropolitan areas the average sale price went up 1% in May.  Mr. Case was quoted as [...]

She Quoted Me!

Several weeks ago I was driving to Raleigh to attend a meeting of the Board of Directors of the NC Association of Realtors.  About an hour into my drive, I got a call from a reporter from The Statesville Record & Landmark, Donna Swicegood (I know, but I was using my “Bluetooth” earpiece).  I knew Donna [...]

There’s No “Normal” Yet in Due Diligence

I’ve written about some of the changes in our new offer to purchase contract that went into use in North Carolina on January 1 (see HERE), and Realtors® in our area are still grappling with how to best represent their clients given the new rules.  Recently, Charlotte Observer columnist Allen Norwood wrote about this and included some [...]

New Real Estate Construction Putting Pressure on Resales

Posted in General Real Estate Market, Iredell County, Lake Norman, Mooresville, tagged , , , , , , on February 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

A recent post from this blog discussed the need for sellers to be realistic and aware of the market in which they’re selling and the nature of their competition.  Today, I visited a couple of new home sellers at their models and came away with some competitive information that real estate property re-sellers should keep in mind.

Can Honesty Cause You to Lose Business?

In the real estate business, buyers rely on their agents to provide lots of information to help them with their choices.  When they finally choose a property on which to make an offer, they particularly want two important pieces of information.  One is knowing what their alternatives are.  In other words, what properties are in competition with [...]

Posted in Finance, General Real Estate Market, tagged , , , , on October 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

The Housing Opportunity Foundation, the charitable arm of the Charlotte Regional Realtors Association, recently held a workshop for Realtors on foreclosure prevention.  Many might think that is an odd thing for Realtors to pursue, but it really isn’t. It’s true that we won’t have a chance to sell a property that avoids foreclosure, but we Realtors [...]

Perhaps you’ve read all the gloom and doom reports in the news (or on TV, internet, smoke signals, etc.) about how the housing market is still in the tank and heaven only knows when it will come back.  I just wanted to put a little perspective on all these reports showing statistics that indicate that [...]

I recently spent several sweltering days showing houses to a great young family moving to the Lake Norman area as a result of a job change.  We had started the housing search several weeks ago and hoped to have a selection and negotiate a contract before they left to go back to their out-of-state home.  [...]
