Beaufort is full of rich seaport history. Incorporated in 1723 and occupied by Union force, Soldiers from the Revolutionary War, War of 1812 and Civil War are buried within this community. Beaufort is the 3rd oldest town in North Carolina.

Beaufort matured into a close knit community with ties to the sea and commercial fishing fleet generations deep.

In 1997, just two miles off the Beaufort Inlet , history was made in the finding of Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenege wreckage in 20 feet of water. Artifact recovery and preservation has become a popular attraction for the NC Maritime Museum .

Over the recent years Downtown Beaufort has been a place of restoration and beautification. The quaint shoppes and restaurants welcome you and the boardwalk offers a breathtaking view of Galliants Channel, stunning sunsets and aif you are lucky a glimpse of wild ponies on Carrot Island.

The homes are rich with charm and character. Pride is beaming as you walk down the side streets and sidewalks to reminisce of years gone by. Rocking chair porches, American flags, and coastal colors sprinkle the streetscape and many restored homes wear a historical plaque to note authenticity of eras gone by .

So, if you don't have plans this coming weekend--- how about a trip to Beaufort NC ?

The weather is expected to be mild- and the Christmas Walk and Candlelight Tour are sure to be a fun way to peek into the historic cottages of Downtown Beaufort.

As you walk the district and tour these beauties take note that there are coastal cottages for sale within the downtown area ranging from mid 300's to million + depending on size, proximity to the waterfront and the level of restoration.


Give me a call if you would like to see any of the homes currently for sale. I can show you any of the homes with for sale signs is in the yard and work to represent you and your best interest as your Buyers Agent. Let me know you are coming to town- We can discuss your options and make plans.

2008 Morehead City NC Christmas Flotilla....

Well, after a nice afternoon watching ECU beat Tulsa for the C-USA championship , my husband loaded our folding chairs and we packed up a cooler of hot cocoa and marshmallows and headed to the waterfront to watch the annual Christmas Flotilla ! (boat parade on water)

The season feels official now and it prompted me to get busy today getting my Charlie Brown Christmas tree up and making home feel a bit more like Winter is upon us and Christmas is near.

We are a football family (Univ. North Carolina Football- My husband is a Tarheel coach) and anxiously awaiting our bowl selection so we can get organized and plan our trip....

Christmas carols are playing and I just saw the fantastic video of Martina McBride with Elvis singing "Blue Christmas "! Wow, she looks alot like Priscilla!

heres a peek of last nights "Southern"2008 Morehead City Flotilla-- as I encourage all procrastinators (like myself) to jump in and get into the spirit !

Want to consider buying a piece of paradise here along the Crystal Coast ???
Give me a call- vacation rates are very low this time of year ....schedule a get away for the holidays!

With interest rates low & inventory high--timing is right to find a deal with me as your Realtor!

Mad Money with Jim Cramer Hit the Nail on the Head !

I was flipping channels and landed on Mad Money with Jim Cramer last night ....

I love his energy--thats real passion!


Anyway, I had to cheer him on when he started discussing our current "Depression"

and the stops in place vs. the "real Depression".

heres a quote from Mr. Cramer:

"There's no 33% unemployment nor are we in danger of massive bank failures. Housing prices have fallen far enough to, in addition to the decline in building permits, signal a bottom by June 30 of next year," .... which is what Cramer's been saying all along.

Buyers:

Now is the time to get off the fence, when the bottom hits (by June) it will be too late to get current deals.... interest rates are provoking as well- the economy is rebuilding. That means opportunity!

Buy Now or Kick Yourself Later !

Realtors:

Encourage and educate the consumers. Certainly there are areas of the country that are truly depressed BUT the majority is just needing a little wind in the sails to get back on course. Positive, factual information in our profession translates to consumer confidence.

so to finish Mr Cramers quote: "ENOUGH WITH THE HYSTERIA! "
