These stats are for the 5 counties served by our Multiple Listing Service and are for residential properties only, not including condo's, lots/land.

Inventory is lower in part due to many properties not renewing their listing contracts and waiting until the Spring to do so.

The strong buyers market continues. Buyers still have a great selection to choose from including short sales and foreclosures which generally take some patience as they are slow moving. Low interest rates continue and I can't imagine a better time for buyers/investors in a position to purchase than now. Come see what all gorgeous Western NC has to offer.

A Bone Of Contention For This Pup

Ms. Winnie and Bone In Mouth

A Bone Of Contention For This Pup! Both she and Mr. Willy were given these bones for a treat by a neighbor and they love them and chew on them each day. It's hard to find anything they will play with as all stuffed things get chewed up and eaten instantly so I'm very pleased they enjoy these bones. Willie has one ball he hasn't been able to destroy and protects it kinda like Winnie is trying to do with this bone.

It doesn't matter that there are 2 bones so each would have one. They desire to have the bone the other is coveting. That brings me to this picture. Winnie would not put this bone down for almost a half hour as she tried to hide it in the sofa, in her bed and other numerous places that she must have felt weren't secure enough. What a hoot. She finally put it down at eating time. Now, when one of them is chewing on a bone the other will try to distract them and than make a grab for it!

After pondering this, the only relationship to real estate I can make re Winnie and the bone are the Sellers who want to over price their properties in these market conditions and refuse to "put them down" to a real life figure.

Professional Photographers Needed For This Christmas Project!

Searching the Web for something else I came across this worthy project for our military families with a member deployed overseas.

The Photo Imaging Manufacturers and Distributors Association (PMDA) joined with the Soldiers' Angels which is a volunteer group. They created this project called "Portraits of Love Project."

They hope to provide 10,000 deployed soldiers with a family portrait.
