Just ask me why you should buy a home in New Bern NC and I will tell you. Do you remember better interest rates? When was the last time you saw prices of homes at the levels where they are now?

Would you like to have a bigger home and thought you could not afford it? Think again!

These are just a few thoughts that I have and that are backed by a buying guide that Keller Williams Realty has put together for buyers.

Here is a taste of what you will find;

“Home affordability is at an all-time high. The
median mortgage payment on the median priced
home as a percentage of the median household
income is lower than it’s been in a generation.”

Foreclosures are not over running our local real estate market here in New Bern NC but they are popping up even more these days. In fact there is one in my neighborhood that would be a great buy for someone.

This house has about 1 acre of usable flat land, a swimming pool that is in ground, 3/4 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, open bonus room, 2 car garage and more.

Contact me for more information on this and other homes in foreclosure.

DON’T put your home on Craig’s list

People from foreign countries are taking my information from my website and are posting it on Craig’s list. These people claim to be the owners of the property in the ad but they are not. In fact these scamers are out of the country so they are unable to show the home to the potential renter. I now have had 3 homes fall prey to this scam. Below is an example of their ad.

Here is an example taken from CRAIGSLIST
