There have been some great new listings added to the Wake Forest NC Real Estate Market this past week and just since mid February there have been 233 homes for sale added to the mix!  Competition is fierce this time of year so if you are thinking of selling your Wake Forest NC Home you have to get your home in the best possible condition.  Check out a few of the tips that I offer  - you HAVE to be competitive and on top of your game.    Here are some great tips to get you prepared!

There were 46 new listings added to the Homes for Sale inventory last week with just two of them being short sales!  Just an FYI - there have been indicators that a few mores short sales and foreclosures will be hitting the market this Spring making competition even more fierce!  The price range for new listings ranges from $89,900 - $979,000 with a variety that includes townhomes, starter homes and luxury homes.  The breakdown of the new listings last week is:

  • Fair Market Resales - 29
  • REOs - 6
  • New Construction - 9
  • Short Sales - 2

Seventeen (yes - 17) homes closed last week in Wake Forest NC.  The Sales Prices range from $62,000 - $420,000 with an average List Price to Sales Price ratio of .984%!  Lesson learned?  Price it properly to start and it will sell!  Here is the breakdown of Homes Sold in Wake Forest NC last week:

  • Fair Market Resales - 6
  • New Construction - 7
  • REOs - 2
  • Short Sales - 2

Seventeen home sellers in Wake Forest NC received contracts on their homes last week and it really is no surprise that ALL of them hit the mark for the most popular price point in Wake Forest NC.  Do you know what that sweet spot is?  You can check out ALL the price points in Wake Forest NC here - Wake Forest NC Real Estate Price Points - February 2012  Here is the breakdown for Pending Listings last week: 

  • Fair Market Resales - 5
  • New Construction - 7
  • REOs - 4
  • Short Sales - 1

Quite a few listings, 21 to be exact, had their status changed to Contingent last week.  A Contingent Status reflects "conditions to be met" such as "contingent on inspections", "contingent on bank approval if a short sale" or even "contingent on buyers loan approval".  There are a multitude of reasons that a property could be Contingent and one thing to keep in mind is if you see a home that you are interested in and it is "Contingent" you should have your agent verify the reason for the contingency.  You never know, a back up offer could be made and you could end up getting the home!

The Spring Real Estate Market is phenomenal this year - don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity to sell your home in Wake Forest NC!  If you are looking for some tips to get your home ready for the Real Estate Market check out Putting Your House on the Market This Spring?  Get Ready NOW!

Be Thankful for EVERYTHING - Simple Joys Like Sour Gummy Worms!

I wrote this post way back in 2008 and discovered it again today.  It reminded me that no matter how crazy, stressful and "unplanned" my days become in this whacked, fast paced business to take time to realize and take note of the simple things that really bring me joy and make my heart sing.....

After seeing this again and reading it I have decided that 4 years is too long to have gone without another day like this......Liam and I will be heading out again soon with him in charge of the camera and Flip.  

I hope that you all don't mind me recycling this because I want it to stand as a reminder to all of you - it truely IS the little things that propel us forward, give us courage, replenish our soul and keep us grounded.

Peace, ♥, and Serenity for you all, today!



I had to go WWWAAAYYY out in the country today to snaps some pics for a BPO.  I don't do many of them but from time to time it is nice to fine tune those market analysis skills - at least that is how I look at it.  Anyhow, my one and only son was very eager to go along.  He KNOWS that music will be blaring in the car and he loves singing at the tops of his lungs as much as his mother does.  We are a sight!  We sing and we dance all in the car - it is so amazing that I don't have tickets for public displays of insanity!

Country roads, windows rolled down, sunroof open and about every cd this family owns in the car with us.  There was one that I hadn't heard IN FOREVER so I popped it in.  Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band - The Distance.  I played Roll Me Away and we both decided we wanted to hear it over and over and over again. 

It was a full morning!  Got home, downloaded the pics and was half way through the BPO when a screen came up that it was cancelledWHAT???  I just spent tons of gas, 100 miles and my whole morning out doing this when there were MANY more business activities that I could have been doing!  Gggrrrr!

UNTIL - I went through the pics that Liam and I had taken while we were out today.  Nope, not mad anymore - in fact a little teary - my son and I had A BLAST todayLiam was in charge of the camera for most of the trip so he is pretty proud of this little montage.  We missed some pretty shots but we didn't care.  I hope that you enjoy the music even if the pics may bore you. 

Today was the epitome of a Carolina Blue Sky and it just couldn't have been more beautiful!  I got to spend it with my most favorite person in the world, sing my heart out and eat sour gummy worms!  Come on - jealous, aren't you!

Wake Forest NC Real Estate - Closed Sales February 2012

Clearly the market has become more active since the same time period last year in Percentage of List Price received and Pending Sales but remains a little uncertain with both Average and Median Sales Prices.  Another great indicator of a rebounding market is the number of closed sales.


February 2012  had a +12.5% increase in Homes that Closed compared with February 2011.  It is important to keep in mid that the Days on Market though has increased.  So while the homes ARE selling it is taking a touch longer to get them under contract.  Patience is a Virtue!  There are currently 537 homes for sale in Wake Forest NC with over 48% of them being in the sweet spot ($200,000 - $400,000) so competition is fierce.  If you are ready to play ball you better be competitive, look your best, and be aggressive!  If you are thinking of selling your home in Wake Forest NC please give me a call or send me an email - I'd be glad to help!
