Deal Houses!!

Too bad....my favorite deal house was recently taken off the market and come to find out is was because the owner got a loan modification. Makes complete sense since the owner would want to keep it and not short sale it at the listed price because it was CHEAP for GREAT water. I almost had a deal on it but my buyer couldn't pull the trigger fast enough and now the deal is gone forever............for those wanting the deals sometimes you need to think and act fast or you lose and you may have to give something up if you have a house to sell.

I don't post some of my favorite deals because I keep them secret and share with my buyers, so if you want to know some of the deals out there use me as your buyers agent!

How do you find the best town to live?

The best and easiest way plain and simple........SAT Scores.........these numbers are available for every high school in the country so you can compare and contrast. For 2009 the mean score for the U.S. was 1016 and for North Carolina it was 1006. Mooresville City was 1010, Lake Norman High School was 1070 and the highest in the county. In Mecklenburg County Providence High takes first place with 1151. For all of NC if you are raising a future PhD, you may want to move to Durham and get them into NC School of Science and Math with an off the charts mean score of 1360. By the way the low 25th percentile SAT for Harvard students is a whopping 1400!!

Washington Post article........

There's a great article in the Washington Post (click here) about Lenders now pursuing borrowers that foreclosed or perhaps more appalling strategically defaulted on their loans. It's those strategic defaults that have hurt our real estate markets around the country and it's a ripple effect everywhere. For those who just walk away from the obligations that were once committed to hurts your neighbors values and in recourse states banks are now going after the deficiencies. This may help those who are thinking of strategic defaults think twice. It's sad for those that truly have life altering issues and lose their homes but it's the ones whose investments didn't go their way so they walk away have contributed immensely to why our home values have dropped.

Is this added proof of the "New Era of Frugality"?

Movie attendance over Memorial Day weekend was the lowest since 1993. Box office receipts for the following weekend dropped 24 percent compared with the same weekend a year earlier. Do you think this is the result of no blockbuster movies or the consumer retrenching?

I recently brought the kids to see Shrek and really liked it!

Still wondering if we made the right choice ; ) Anyway, the latest sale price was $185,000 for a 1304 sq foot home. This home also has a heated sunroom. Monthly HOA fees are $159
