This is a continuation of information on the towns of Western North Carolina and their location. I will continue with Henderson County in the next installment. I want to give you an update on real estate in our area.
January saw more showings and more under contracts in our office. I heard the same thing from several other agents in different offices. It won't show up in the statistics probably until March, and we can't guarantee it will be sustained, but it is looking encouraging. Interest rates are great and we have mortgage companies with money. Your interest rate is pegged to your credit score. The highest scores are getting interest rates in the low 4's
At this point we don't know what will happen with the Stimulus Bill, but if it is signed as now proposed, it will be a nice tax saving if you have the money to buy a new home. Personal residences only. No investment properties.
The high dollar properties are still struggling. 80% of the homes selling for the last few months are under $300,000.
Enough of the money stuff! Everybody needs a little fun and there are lots of places to have fun in Asheville. Here are a few suggestions. Definitely not a complete list.
Great Music Venues:
The Grey Eagle The Orange Peel
The Asheville Symphony The Asheville Bravo Concerts
WNC Jazz Society The Diana Wortham Theatre
Great Theatre:
The Asheville Community Theatre The Flat Rock Playhouse
The North Carolina State Stage The Brevard Little Theatre
Summer Theatre:
Montford Park Players Southern Appalachian Repertory Theatre
If you want to get outside there are many place to bike, hike, kayak, fish, golf, raft, rock climb or mine for gems. Go to the the NC Arboretum to walk, enjoy flowers, see their Bonsai Garden or take a class. There are many parks for walking, picnicking, playing soccer or dog walking. Or check out hiking in the whole Smokey Mountain Park, just a short drive away.
Have Fun!
