Rocky Mount, NC

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.

Nash County, NC has been in a drought for a year now. Last summer and fall were extremely tough as we were in the highest possible category of drought. Our water sources were very low, he had restrictions, and everybody was conscious about our water usage.

I am glad to discover that in checking http://www.ncdrought.org/index.php Nash County is now at the lowest level of drought identified as abnormally dry.

We have enjoyed long soaking rains this winter and spring bringing our available water back to safe levels. I hope we continue to have good rains throughout this summer.

The supply of homes available for sale in the Rocky Mount Area MLS has held steady for the last five months.

Total listing of homes for sale increased 1.1 percent in April compared to March, according to figures compiled from the Rocky Mount Area Association of Realtors Multiple Listing service (RMAAR MLS).

When comparing April 2008 to April 2007 you discover a 3.2% decrease in available residential inventory.

Is this the beginning of a local recovery? I don't know. The factors behind these numbers are that new listings are down as sales continue to slow.

Big inventories are persuading sellers to accept less. "Sellers are becoming a little more flexible in negotiating prices," says Dave Recker, Realtor with RE/MAX Classic Realty.
