5 Reasons Why New Bern is A Great Place To Call Home!

I have lived in New Bern for almost 14 years and I always get asked the question of why did I decide to live in New Bern?

Sunny day in New Bern NC

My Response is this,

1. I have never felt threatened or scared to go anywhere in New Bern, whether driving or walking, day or night.

2. I am not faced with 2 hours of traffic coming or going from work.

3. New Bern offers a wide variety of water sports since it is sitting at the mouth of two rivers, The Trent River and The Neuse River.

4. It is close to the Atlantic Ocean. You can get to the beaches in 40 to 45 minutes from New Bern. Here are the directions from Google maps.

5. The Southern Charm of this town speaks for itself. On every street corner you will see a smiling face looking back at you. A wave and a smile goes along way to make you feel at home when you are hundreds of miles away from your real home.

5 Places to Look For Used Furniture in New Bern and Havelock

As a Real Estate Agent who works with a lot of Military families going to Cherry Point, I get asked where can they buy furniture in this area.

Here is where to look:

1. Yard sales on base or the surrounding areas. The summer is a great time to catch people moving to different states or even out of the county. I have know people to pick up cheap appliances as well at these sales.

2. I found a great deal on a side by side refrigerator at a used furniture store in James City(New Bern) for $289.00 in great shape. There are many of these kind of stores all through out New Bern and Havelock area just off of HWY 70.

3. Discount Stores are plentiful and another good resource here in New Bern and Havelock.

4. Habitat For Humanity and Good Will do have their fair share of furniture as well.

5. If you want the upper end stuff, you will need to go to Ashley Furniture store in Clayton, about 1 1/2 hour drive or HighPoint NC where the furniture capital is located.

Don’t Sell Your Home in New Bern or Havelock Until You Do These 5 Things

 If you are about to sell you home in the New Bern or Havelock  Market then here are some deal saving tips to consider:

  1. Get estimates from a reliable repair person on items that look like they would need to be replaced. For example a roof or worn carpeting. This way, buyers will have a better sense of how much these needed repairs will effect their cost.                                                                                                  
  1. Have a termite inspection done  to make sure that this will not be the problem keeping your from selling your home.
  1. Get a pre-sale home inspection so that you’ll be able to make repairs before buyers become concerned and cancel a contract.
  1. Find and leave out warranties and guarantees on the furnace, appliances, and other items that will remain with the house. 
  2. Consult a Home Staging professional on ways to present your home in the best possible light.
