Wilson, NC

What is keeping you from buying your new home? Is it pricing? It shouldn't be! Pricing, even in our area, is down. Is it available properties to choose from? It shouldn't be! We have many more homes on the market than we have had at any point in a long time. Is it the prospect of financing problems? It shouldn't be! If you have good credit and verifiable income and down payment and closing costs that should not be an issue either. In some of the rural areas we can still get 100% financing for qualified buyers!

So what is it? Fear of the unknown? Fear of being turned down for a loan? Whatever it is, just remember that we have a great inventory and great pricing and great rates. It is rare for all these things to be available at once but that is the market we are in today. That may not be the market tomorrow. If inventory goes down pricing will go up and rates will probably follow. So get off the fence and get out there and find your new home! Let's get this economy rolling again!

As always you can go to our web site at www.nchousehunt.com to see our listings. Let us know what you think!

We all know that gas continues to go up straining our budgets. In the real estate business we put a lot of miles on our vehicles showing buyers around, checking on listings, and delivering paperwork.

I have been spending somewhere between $400 and $600 per month this year on gas and I'm tired of paying that much for gas. The reality is that 90% of the time I'm in the vehicle by myself, not with clients.

Therefore, I have purchased a 2006 KIA to use in my business. I of course still have the huge realtor vehicle for when I need to drive around clients. But for the other 90% of the time I will be consuming a lot less gas.

With lower interest rates and plenty of homes to choose from, now may be the right time for you to purchase real estate. Today's lower interest rates may not be around when prices flatten out, so trying to time the market rarely works to your advantage. Another problem with trying to time the market is that it requires a rising market to know just where the bottom was ... hindsight is always 20-20, isn't it?

In many cases, purchasing a home may be cheaper than renting. Click Here to read the entire article.

On this day, please join me in remembering our fallen military personnel and reach out to a veteran and thank them for their service to our country.

Traditional observance of Memorial Day has diminished over the years. Many Americans nowadays have forgotten the meaning and traditions. I am a retired U.S. Army Infantry Sergeant Major and I WILL NOT forget.

It is in no small part through the sacrifice of our military men and women that we have the freedom to enjoy life's simple pleasures.

Hey everyone! I hope everyone has enjoyed this week of almost beautiful weather! This has been a great week for real estate in the Wilson area. I have had potential clients and clients from as far away as California and Mexico! All coming to Wilson for a variety of different reasons. We still have the retirees and the halfbacks but our locals are also starting to get back into the picture a little bit more. I am seeing many more sign calls and internet inquiries than the past few months. This is encouraging!

Interest rates in our area are still running around 5.5% for someone with good credit and 5% down. Some ARMs are coming back into the market and even the occasional 100% loan and an interest only loan or two can also be found. The key has always been, if you want the best rate and terms, you need the best credit. That has not changed!

For those of you who have not been to my website, go to www.nchousehunt.com to see all of our listings. You can also click on the "Search Wilson MLS" tab and see everything on the market in our local Wilson MLS.
