About Cary's Preston

A new restaurant is coming to Cary, NC in two weeks. Brought to you by theowners of Rocky Top Hospitality, Rockwell's American Grill will be opening soon in the building that was previously occupied by Stonewood Tavern.

The concept was inspired by old time diners and delis, and will feature a menu of home style comfort food ranging from $5 to $24. Features will include "family style" offerings, fresh fish, steaks, pasta, and chicken dishes. The most interesting aspect of the menu will be the all day breakfast menu. If there's one culinary desire in Cary, NC, it's breakfast food, especially when you can get it at any time between 11am and 10pm.

Rockwell's American Grill will have a full service bar, a private dining room for special events and parties, and a 100 seat outdoor patio. Hours of operation will be 11am-10pm, Monday through Saturday, with the bar remaining open until midnight. Sunday's, the restaurant will have the same operating hours, with the bar closing earlier.

On a consistent basis I hear the following questions from my clients:

· What’s going on in the Preston neighborhood?

· What’s selling? What’s not?

· How do sales compare this year compared to last?

· Is the market improving?

It’s the time of year when we reflect upon the Cary NC Real Estate market, how our sales have fared, and to look forward to the New Year. There is no doubt about it – the Cary NC Real Estate Market saw a sharp decline in home sales from the peak in 2006. Surprisingly, or not, Preston home sales are recovering . Preston is still it is still the #1 shown neighborhood in Cary and has the lowest supply of Luxury Homes in the Triangle.

For the sake of this homes sold analysis I’ve broken them down by price point so you can get a better idea of the homes sold in the Preston neighborhood in Cary.

Here are a few observations that relate back to my comments above:

· Many homebuyers are looking for established neighborhoods with larger lots which are one reason for Preston’s consistent home sales.

· Homes sales in Preston are up 17% which is the first time since 2007!

· Currently the Preston Neighborhood(35 homes sold) has surpassed the new construction community of Weycroft(30 homes sold) to be the #1 Selling Luxury Home neighborhood in the Triangle. Copperleaf in Cary came in 3rd at 23 homes sold.

· Luxury home inventory in Cary(Avg 10 months) is substantially lower than in the N. Raleigh area (15 months), partially due to the fact that N. Raleigh has a number of Luxury Home communities.

If you are looking for the Country Club lifestyle Preston might be the neighborhood you’re your family is looking for – the renovated and expanded clubhouse is 2nd to no other in the Triangle, the championship 54 hole golf course provides plenty of golf and entertainment, 2 sets of tennis courts(hard courts & clay courts), along with two-swimming pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and Kids Club

Looking forward to 2012 it is apparent that the Preston Neighborhood in Cary will continue to prosper. Luxury homebuyers are looking for excellent schools, nearby shopping & restaurants, proximity to RTP, and given that home prices have declined now is a great time to buy!

NetApp - Network Appliance relocation.

I bought Marie & Steve for $30 before they moved to Cary NC for a job transfer with Network Appliance .

I was purchasing "leads" from an online company. They would send me basic information about home buyers and/or sellers, I would respond in a timely manner, I would pay the $30, and then I would receive the potential home buyer's or seller's contact information.

It was a LOT of work and time. It was a frustrating experience many times. It was conversations like: "oh, sorry it was my teenager playing around"; "I was just checking things out in your area, I'm NOT moving from Wyoming to NC"; "I did not realize someone would actually call me", etc.

There were so many fake email address and phone numbers. BUT then there was Marie! I called her AND she answered her phone! She was a real person. And her husband was being transferred by Network Appliance to work Research Triangle Park NC .

NetApp is a great company. They continue to be on the upswing. They seem to take care of their employees...even in the down times. NetApp is growing and continuing to be consistently high quality!
So...over the last couple of years...Marie has become the younger sister I never had. And Steve is a rock. Both are so very kind, giving and caring people. They bought a home in Preston subdivision of the Cary/Morrisville area.

They are the best $30 bucks I've EVER spent! Wonderful friends!
