Have you been trying to decide when the best time to buy your first home? Waiting for the housing market to hit the bottom? Well, it's here. Economists indicate that the worst is over. Read more here.

Once you decide to jump off the fence, here are a few tips to consider when preparing your home search.
1. When is your lease up? When CAN you move? Are you allowed to sublet? It may take up to six months, to talk to a lender to get pre-approved, find your agent, view homes, let your agent negotiate the best price/terms for you, setup closing and get the KEYS to YOUR NEW HOME.
2. Think long term. Are you looking for a starter home for a few years or are you hoping to stay in this home for longer? This decision may dictate what type of home you will buy as well as the type of mortgage terms that suit you best.
3. Don't let yourself be house poor. If you max yourself out to buy the biggest home you can afford, you'll have no money left for maintenance or decoration or to save money for other financial goals.
4. Don't be naive. Insist on a home inspection and if possible get a warranty from the seller to cover defects within one year.
5. Get help. Consider hiring a REALTOR as a buyer's representative. He/She will help you buy your home at the best possible price and terms. And most often, buyer's reps are paid out of the seller's commission payment. You should also use your own representative when purchasing New Construction. Read more here. REALTORS are professionals. It's our job. Let us work for you.
Will you take advantage of the new Federal New Home Buyer Tax Credit.
What are you waiting for? The time is NOW!!!

Have you ever been stuck in traffic at the bottleneck at Morrisville Carpenter and HWY 54 in Morrisville? I know I have many times over the past 10 years. However, the long awaited $3.4 Million expansion has finally arrived. Beginning Saturday April 25th Morrisville Carpenter Road will be closed from Church Street to NC 54 from four to six weeks to finalize the expansion. It certainly will cause numerous traffic problems around the area until the expansion is complete. However, the expansion has been long overdue.
Even though these roads are owned by the State, the Town of Morrisville passed the bond due to the importance of this heavily traveled corridor.
Click here to see a map of the planned changes. Click here for a detour map. The road expansions throughout Cary and Morrisville have made a big change to the traffic flow and this expansion will also make a big difference.
