Turn off the T.V. and Radio when it comes to Greensboro Real Estate.......

You hear all the time on the news, on the radio, in the papers how housing market falls again.  This may be true on a national level, but what you must be aware of is that Real Estate is local by it’s nature, don’t allow the hype to scare you. North Carolina is the 6th     fastest growing state in the country with more than 9  million people according to the census bureau. The average sales price of a home Greensboro continues to rise along with a modest rise in homes appreciation in the area.  Guilford County homes have an     average days on market of 85 days and homes listed at market value are still selling at 97% of their list price!  Interest rates are still unbelievable low.  Did you know that the triad sits within 650 miles of half of the U.S. population and Forbes recently ranked Greensboro and Winston-Salem among the top business sites in the nation?  With FedEx and Honda Jet just two example look how much we are growing and More Jobs = More People = Greater demand for Housing

Also I found this interesting.  Coldwell Banker prides itself on being new and innovative with technology.  Here is another first from CB that is helping buyers find a great home. 

Found this info on our company intranet.

Skybus is already shutting down operations, originally uploaded by ballance5702.

For those unaware Skybus has shut down. Our $10 flights are no longer. I find this very unfortunate for PTI. I think they had a good philosophy, as I had gone to hear the CEO speak and he was very excited and enthusiastic about the endeavor. Just possibly not implemented as well as could have been. I am disappointed in the aspect that they are not handling the refunds in a professional manner, as they say to consult your credit card company. Seems like a copout to me. I feel bad for all those that had trips planned and vacations scheduled around that budget and now will have to somehow make other arrangements. I know I was planning to take advantage of it this summer. Well such is life. Just means we will get creative and find a new plan.

I believe in helping people find not only a new house but a new home. My clients are not just someone I’m working for but new friends I’m working with. Originally from Lansing, Michigan I have lived in the triad for roughly 6 years now. I assist sellers with selling their home and buyers looking to purchase.
