People ask me not only why I blog but why I blog about New Bern!
All you need to do is look at this picture to see how beautiful this area truly is. It is only March and you can see flowers and trees blooming everywhere. The temperature today was in the 50’s, which is typical for this time of year. On the other hand, temperatures reached in the 70’s for a few days last week. We have mostly mild winters but did get a few Artic blasts resulting in snow last month. Besides mild temperatures, New Bern is a great place to raise a family, I am speaking personally now. I have never lived in one area for as long as I have here in NC. I never have felt that I was in danger at any point, that there was way too much traffic, or that there were just too many people in general. Come see why I blog about New Bern almost every day.
I took this picture today while on a break from class at the New Bern Convention Center. It is such a nice place to hold any kind of function. It is located on South Front Street.
I heard something interesting while in class today. The instructor stated that since Feb. of last year, real estate sales in the United States were 5.1% higher and saw a 6.5% increase over the entire last year.
New Bern is behind this statistic as are other areas:
During Feb 2008, 78 homes sold in New Bern compared to 57 homes being sold this past February.
The good news is that we are still selling home in New Bern, Havelock and Craven County.
According to an interview on CBS this morning, interest rates should take another turn for the best this next week. As part of the stimulus plan to heal our ailing housing market, dropping the interest rates to all time lows is one of the strategies.
I know that this will help me save quite a bit of money in my monthly mortgage therefore it should only make sense that this will help others too. Why not buy something that if kept for a long period of time will benefit you in the long run. What other asset increase in value the way real estate does?
Do you get lost when your real estate agent in New Bern NC starts to talk about areas in which homes can be found?
We as agents that practice in an area for as long as some of us do, tend to forget that the outside world does not know what we are talking about. Let me help you figure out where your dream home is located.
