We are seeing an increase in numbers of home sales that are out of town of Franklin and out of Macon County due to the increase of Agents taking on foreclosures. Some are Agents out of the area who have joined our MLS board and list their properties that are in a area that is not in Macon County NC and some are Agents here that list home's that are out of Macon County Franklin, NC. Some Realtor's have a beef with this kind of activity and because this really obscures our numbers when it comes to local sales.

Whatever your thoughts are they are still in Western NC but just may not me in our county and there have been a few in North Ga. as well.

Reasons I love living in Franklin, NC| Waterfalls | Mountains | Peace & Serenity

Some of the reasons I love living in Franklin, NC are the beautiful Waterfalls, the Mountains and of course the Peace and Serenity.

I was traveling up Wayah Rd. in the Nantahala Mountains the last week and had to stop and take a picture of this waterfall. In Franklin’s tourist season months I wouldn’t have been able to see this or even stop to take a picture. Wayah Rd. is well traveled by Motor Vehicles as well as Motorcyclist. This is one of our favorite Motorcycle rides when we take the bikes out.

The Peace & Serenity I get is taking a few minutes to stop, look and listen to the water flowing down the Mountains is almost indescribable. It instantly puts me in a great mood and as I drive off I have a smile from ear to ear. You need to experience it by yourself and you’ll know what I am talking about.

When I am on a Mountain looking out it’s like meditation for me. All my thoughts about what is happening in my life, business and family are not clouding my gratitude for this wonderful life I have here in Franklin, NC.
