Debbie in Raleigh Your Real Estate Advantage

Walking through Wake Forest

I love going for walks. I walk for exercise but the added benefit is being outdoors and getting to know my community. I walk through different neighborhoods in town and get to know a lot of things that you wouldn't normally observe when just driving through. For example which home has the steepest driveway. Which home owners look like they are preparing for a sale. I also walk through the the Wake Forest Parks, Greenways ( my favorite is in Heritage) or through our the town of Wake Forest. I love seeing the new businesses going in, the changes in the downtown windows. I suggest you go for a walk too learn about your neighbors, neighborhoods or town, or join me for a walk.

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.
