Debbie in Raleigh Your Real Estate Advantage

Hedingham Raleigh NC


Recently I was in Hedingham with a buyer and her comment was " I love this neighborhood, I feel so at home here". She is not the only buyer to feel that way. Hedingham is the Top re-selling development in Wake County. According to the Register of Deeds in Wake County in Sept. along Hedingham had 25 sales with $100.47 being the average price per square feet and the average ratio between sales price and assessed value is 97%. Why is Hedingham so popular? Because of the amenities they offer their residents, for example they recently held their fall festival which offered a BBQ lunch and events. Hedingham also has a golf club and course which winds through the community and also an exciting athletic center. There is also a sense of home, community as you drive through the community. Visit the Hedingham website at http://www.hedingham.org and check out what they have to offer. Interested in learning more on properties for sale email me at debbiekomlo@gmail.com

Raleigh in the top three places to start a Small Business

Raleigh is in the news again. According to CNNMoney.com Raleigh has been named #3 in large metro areas to launch a small business. We always knew it was a great place to live and work. I hope a lot of small business owners and their families begin to call us home. Link to the article: http://money.cnn.com/smallbusiness/best_places_launch/2009/snapshot/271.html

Don't let the good houses get away! The Market is picking up

I am working with the Thayers and we have been looking at house for a month. They have found 2 houses that they really liked- the first went under contract before they could make an offer and the second had three offers on it, one of which was ours. I really felt it was a strong offer and that they had a really good chance at going under contract. Got an email today and we did not get it! The Thayers are very disappointed. We continue our home search but next time our offer may be stronger and made quicker.

This year I had the Lynches home listed in Deacons Ridge in Wake Forest, we had so many showings that I was very confident that the house would sell fast, and indeed it did! The sellers were happy with the fast, easy sale for the price they wanted. The buyers were happy because they loved the house and were happy with the price also
The housing market is really picking up in the $150,000.00- $225,000.00 range and in turn with those houses selling the sellers are in a position to buy also. My advice don't wait to make a strong offer on a good house, with a good price.

Our Next Flip

Painting

Its official we are under contract with our next flip property.

We are thrilled with our new property. As we go through all the steps I will update and supply pictures of the property. Last Sunday Tom and I made our final visit to the property before writing an offer to measure it, doing a inspection in the attic and in the crawl space. We also visited Home Depot to price the items that we will need to replace or repair. We wrote a competitive offer and submitted it to the listing agent. On Wednesday we got the good news- They accepted our offer!!

This coming week we will be requesting that the electricity be turned on we will be having our Well and Septic inspections. We will be finding out whether we will be using the Lenders Attorney or our own choice for an Attorney. And making our time line for repairs.

My next update will be on the results of the inspections.
