I wanted to take a moment a list a few of the things that I am personally seeing in the Wilmington NC Real Estate Market. I have attached a link to an article in today's Star News stating that homes sales were down almost 28% in Wilmington, NC in 2008. I feel most people are aware of this, but I would like people to also know that good things are happening, and real estate is selling.
There is activity in the market place. People are buying and selling homes. Wilmington NC is a desireable relocation destination. I believe staying positive, staying focused, and working hard, will continue to show positive results regardless of the overall market conditions.

I always get excited about Wilmington's Azalea Festival. The 62nd Annual North Carolina Azalea Festival is scheduled for April 1- 5, 2009
The North Carolina Azalea Festival is Wilmington's annual Spring celebration. Founded in 1948, the Azalea Festival has emerged as Wilmington's premier event. Each April, as the azales and dogwoods are a Springtime showcase, Wilmington displays its Southern hospitality. The Festival's concerts, street fair and special events are viewed by more than one million people each year, in person and through media coverage. More than 200,000 are estimated to attend the annual two-day street fair, while more than 100,000 gather to watch the Festival parade. Each event is a celebration, beginning with the traditional arrival of Queen Azalea at the official opening of the four-day event. Stars glitter throughout town as Southern belles and their escorts are at the homes on the annual garden tour and at the annual garden party. Everywhere the blooming azaleas offer a brillant display of color as to the rich heritage of coastal Carolina.

Hope to see you in Wilmington NC this April.

Coastal Southeastern NC offers great recreational fishing opportunities. Below are links for local fishing tournaments for 2009.
It is exciting to see more activity in the real estate market for the start of 2009. With lots of inventory to choose from, buyers are looking for the "best buy". Listed below are a few tips for improving your chance of receiving an offer.
1. Price it right. Be one of the best-priced homes in your neighborhood, by setting your price at the lower end of the realistic price range.
2. Prepare for showings. Get your house ready for the market before you start showing it. If you would like additional information, I will gladly send you a free "Home Enhancement Guide".
3. Be flexible about showing times. The more flexible you can be regarding showings, the more buyers you will have view your home. Many times those that need to offer several hours advanced notice, and definitely 24-hour notice, may move on to other available properties.
4. Don't refuse to drop the price. If your home has been on the market for more than 2 weeks with no showings, or 30 days without an offer, you should be prepared to at least consider lowering your asking price.
