One of the best hotels in the Triad is the O'Henry Hotel in Greensboro, North Carolina. Can you even remember when the best hotels were not chains but family owned and operated. Well I can tell you that time has returned in the best of style where luxury is defined.
My out of town client's regularly stay at the O'Henry Hotel and can never stop saying enough about the service, elegance and just the all around quality of the experience.
From the lobby to the wonderful new king size bed rooms the hotel pays close attention to every detail and shows that the "family run" era or as the Quaintence Weaver Group states "Locally Owned, Passionately Run" luxury hotels has returned in Grand Style. The grand style and the elegance that they have put into every detail that surround you upon entering their establishments is evident from the Magi bedding in the rooms, to the Arts and Crafts style that surround you show the attention that this family has put into every detail in this fabulous establishment. 
I will leave you with a brief glimpse of an outdoor garden patio and to also thank Mark File of the Quaintence Weaver Group for the photo's and permission brag about a company I am proud is here in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Yes everyone is trying to go green at what better way then to take advantage of a basically FREE energy source. So SunEdison is getting ready to immediately break ground on one of the largest photoelectric power farms (solar power) on the east coast. They will be building this site in Davidson County here in the Triad of North Carolina. Here is a picture of a much smaller project in conjunction with Progress Energy in Wilmington, NC.
Now this site produces 1.2 Kilowatts and is much smaller then the new upcoming site for Davidson County here in the Triad. SunEdison was kind enough to furnish this photo so as to give a good frame of reference for a solar farm. They will be selling the energy to our Duke Energy company here in North Carolina to further our efforts to become green and to help ease our dependence on imported oil.

While many of the leading market indicators have been showing more and more signs of promise here in Greensboro, North Carolina the last month of July all three numbers are positive! The Triad of North Carolina as a whole is turning the corner. I have been tracking the numbers and while the number of residential units sold have been climbing all spring as they normally would they actually dipped a little in July. The positive about this is that the average sale price of those units sold jumped significantly! To refer back to my previous blog about a Trickle Up economy as all those first time home buyers jump in they free up those homeowners to buy their second or third more expensive home!
Now the other exciting indicator is that the inventory of homes for sale across the Triad is actual going downward! This is even during the peak season which of course means if the trend continues you will actually start to see a shift in the Supply & Demand curve. I know you remember this from your Economics class once the supply for a product (in our case home inventory) goes down the demand will increase which will lead to higher prices. In other words the market values for homes in areas with limited supply will increase if the demand for those areas stays constant. I mean this is exciting from the standpoint that I have many listings that of course as soon as my sellers sell that home they are going to turn right around and buy their next home with me. Those clients I do not even put in the same grouping with the many buyers I am working with. Of course some of those buyers are clients that have homes in other areas that they need to sell first. So I am really hoping this trend is across our great country and not just here in the Triad. Of course the excitement is just getting ready to get interesting as we start a count down of days to the deadline for the First Time Home Buyers tax credit. November 30th is approaching rapidly and I am preaching to all my First Time Home Buyers that if they plan on taking advantage of that $8,000 tax credit they need to keep their eye on the calendar. I am telling everyone to plan on being under contract before the end of October. So as August rushes by the numbers are showing a real economic turnaround for the real estate market here in Greensboro, North Carolina and the rest of the Triad.

OK just wanting to verify that anyone else is noticing what is happening here in the Triad of North Carolina. I have been tracking the real estate sales numbers this year and while the volume of sales have fluctuated and actually been climbing the most interesting part is that the average sales price has been moving upward. Our trickle up has been that the First Time Home Buyers tax credit is actually doing its job. For those that have the foresight to look ahead there are of course all those sellers out there that have put their first home up for sale. Well thanks to all the first time home buyers out there buying that home.
Now the Trickle Up begins here in Greensboro, North Carolina. You see those sellers selling their first time home now are free to move UP and buy their second home!
So as we see the upcoming rush of First Time Home Buyers getting their first home that makes it possible for all of those sellers of resale homes to move up and buy their next home which will most likely be more expensive then their last. So that is explaining the upward movement of the average price of the homes sold here in the Triad of North Carolina.
As I am sure all of my fellow realtor's are seeing in their perspective boards more and more First Time Home Buyers are trying to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit. They have only till November 30th to be closed and in that home. So since we are down to basically about 10 weeks to get a home under contract and hope that you can get closed within 30 days.

Some of you might remember an earlier blog last year about the Horse Park of the South. This is going to be one of the premier equestrian centers in the Southeast. If you can imagine 150 acres of everything equestrian; 6 indoor riding rings, 4 barns with 400 stalls and room for more, two of the rings are indoor arenas, and administration building, dining facilities, and anything else you could think of. Reidsville, North Carolina is about to become the center of the southeast for equestrian events.
I am going to be chronologically taking pictures of the progress so that I can share with you how we are progressing. I went up and took some shots today since they are close to breaking ground so I wanted to shoot the land untouched. The water tower is going to be the marker for the southern most point of the park.
Now shooting from north of the water tower out toward the acreage for the Horse Park.
Now this is an old access road that will probably be used once they start.
So now we have a beginning for the story. I will update you as we progress this will do exciting things to the property values (most certainly the horse farms of which I have three listed) soon.
