Selling Your House

Kids

Despite all your best plans to have your home ready to show, unexpected events occur. Go With the Flow and Show It Anyway. My home in New Jersey sold to a couple that looked at the home as we were preparing for a party for my sister’s birthday. The house was a pre-party disaster, and we were stuffing 40 chicken breasts, etc.

Thanks for listening and be good to your self!

Beachcombing of a Different Sort

Peter and I spent a spectacular weekend in Charleston -- which is only a short three hour drive from here -- with some friends. We walked all over this gracious Southern city to sample shopping, restaurants, art galleries, and museums. We grew up in beach towns on the Jersey Shore, so there is an attraction to all things beach. On our way back to Southport, we detoured to visit Sullivan’s Island and the Isle of Palms. Even when we are "off,"  we still think real estate.

The homes were magnificent. Public beach access. . .  not so much. Our point of comparison, with 76 public, free beach access points (with parking) is Oak Island. Frankly, it's hard to find any other coastal town that offers so much for so little to so many.

Why Oak Island?

Want to know a secret?   Oak Island, NC. 

Oak Island is the best option for investors, beach lovers, families, empty nesters, fishing fans and just about everyone.  Here's why. . .  at the current rate of construction, The Island will be completely built out in just ten years.

That's no undeveloped land left. 

This projection is available right on the town's website under Executive Summary 201 Facilities Plan Update.  That is right out of the textbook on Supply and Demand.  This affects the price of both land and homes. Tick Tock.

Happy Birthday to Over 2.9 Million Americans

Today, 8,000 Americans are turning 60, and apparently every day in 2008 will see the same number celebrating their birthday. For many, this will be the best time of their lives. Re-storing. Re-directing. Re-defining. Re-energizing. Just plain starting over.

Become the person you never had time to be. Come to the warm, welcoming coast of North Carolina and this time. . .  you will write the next chapter of your life.
