Durham, North Carolina...The City of Medicine...is a great place to live!
BusinessWeek recently named Durham, NC the third best city in the USA to ride out the recession. Durham, which is part of the Research Triangle area, is home to Duke University and Duke University Medical Center. It is also home to North Carolina Central University. The world-famous Research Triangle Park is located on the southern side of Durham County...between Chapel Hill and Raleigh...forming the Triangle area.
While the national real estate market is continuing to suffer, the Durham market is holding strong. The following charts show important statistics regarding the third quarter real estate sales for Durham County.
This first chart indicates the average closed prices for Durham County homes through October of 2008...as compared to the same time period in 2007. For the second consecutive month, the average closed price is significantly higher than 2007. I believe this is a clear indicator that the market is beginning to recover.
The following chart represents the total number of listings in Durham County through October 2008. Please note that the available inventory is still great, but homes are selling! This is a great time to buy a home in Durham County, NC!
This next chart shows the total number of homes sold in Durham County through October 2008. October 2008 sales were just over 42% below October 2007. That is not an encouraging number, but I do believe that things are looking better every day.
The following chart shows the average days on market for Durham County through October of 2008...as compared to 2007. As you can see, there is a slight increase (11%) for average days on market in October 2008 verses October 2007.
The final chart indicates the months of supply (based on the total number of available listings and number of closed sales) for Durham County. As of October 2008, there is a 12.7 month supply of homes available for sale. That is a significant increase (41%) over the same time last year. There has never been a better time to become a home owner than now. There is plenty of homes from which to choose, and the price is RIGHT!

If you are looking for a fun-yet-different family event to jumpstart the holiday season, I’ve got just the thing for you. On December 5th, come enjoy the fourth annual Tower Lighting on the American Tobacco Campus.
One of Durham’s most recognizable landmarks, the 134 year-old Lucky Strike Tower, will be decorated with thousands of feet of lights and garland. Although this celebration is a relatively new one, the organizers hope that it will become a much-anticipated, family tradition for Durham residents and visitors.
Attendees to this holiday ‘LIGHT’ event will enjoy Christmas music by local churches and schools…including a performance by a special brass ensemble from Durham School of the Arts. The first 500 people on the lawn will receive a FREE light wand, and the evening will end with a spectacular display of fireworks.
Mark your calendars today!
Come help us
LIGHT UP DURHAM!

Titles and credentials are nice to have...I have a few of which I am quite proud. However, I do not want to be defined by the titles and credentials I have earned. I wish to be defined by the difference I make in the lives of my family, friends and clients.
For the past five years, I've been involved in the real estate industry. I was blessed to have learned the 'ins and outs' of this business by managing a small real estate office in Raleigh, N.C. While I was earning my real estate license, I worked as a closing coordinator for a top producing agent in Chapel Hill, N.C.
During my years in the real estate business, I've learned many things. I've learned that...whether it is their first or fifth real estate transaction...ALL buyers and sellers are INTIMIDATED!!! They are filled with fear and trepidation...terrified of making a wrong decision with life-changing consequences. Fortunately, I've also learned that almost ALL of the stress and fear can be avoided by giving my clients the information necessary to make the RIGHT DECISION with CONFIDENCE!
Throughout the buying or selling process...from the first point of contact...to closing...and beyond...I am absolutely committed to providing my clients the highest level of customer service. INTEGRITY...EXCELLENCE...CARE...
DILIGENCE...THESE ARE THE VALUES BY WHICH I CHOOSE TO BE DEFINED.
If you are thinking about buying or selling your home, please allow us, The Elizabeth Nieves Realty Group, to join you on your journey. We truly look forward to working with you to make your real estate experience as easy and pleasant as possible.

YOU HAVE A CHOICE!
WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE TO WORK WITH ME?
As my client, I give you my personal commitment that WHAT MATTERS TO YOU MATTERS TO ME! I recognize that YOU want to do business with someone you can trust. I will work diligently to earn your trust.

I FEEL THE RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE YOUR DREAM A REALITY!!!
Elizabeth is great!
Khaled and I moved out from California to attend Duke Medical School in the summer of 2004. We had just gotten married three days before our trip to NC. We arrived in NC with only our checked luggage and a phone number for Elizabeth Nieves.
Right from the start, Elizabeth used her business connections to get us a discount at a nice hotel...which was great because it saved us a ton of money. We also had our cats with us...and, she welcomed them also.
From that point, Elizabeth spent 3 or 4 full days with us...as if we were her only customers. Even though she was incredibly busy, she cleared her schedule because she knew that we had very little time and no home. We felt really special...that we were her highest priority. We told Elizabeth what we wanted, and she prepared a list of available homes. She was honest, thorough and knowledgeable...pointing out things to us that we would have never thought about. Being a native of NC, she knew everything about the area and shared her knowledge and experience with us. She led us every step of the way.
Once we found the perfect home, she handled everything on our behalf...helping us to find a loan officer, home inspector and other professionals. She even arranged it so that we were able to move into our new home two weeks before our closing. From the day we arrived in NC to the day we closed, the whole process took three weeks.
Even after the sale, we have called Elizabeth for copies of our documents or for answers to other questions. She always helps us and always gives us the information we need. We know that we can rely on her for anything. We will definitely call Elizabeth Nieves when we are ready to sell our current home and purchase our next home. We recommend Elizabeth Nieves to all of our friends and family. It is our pleasure to recommend Elizabeth Nieves to you, as well. Khaled and Lizette Hassan - Duke MS II
I was recently involved with selling my townhome and purchasing a new home using The Elizabeth Nieves Realty Group. I was able to sell my townhome within days of placing it on the MLS. She actually told me she had an interested buyer days before we placed my home on the MLS. I also used Elizabeth in finding and purchasing a new home in Knightdale. I realize that my experience is an exception, but I was able to find a house and sell my townhome on the same day! I closed both homes on the same day in the same office. I will have no hesitation in recommending Elizabeth Nieves to anyone who can make use of her services.
Sincerely, Robert Armstrong
