Kure Beach NC - Beach views - you could be here..

This was a last Sunday morning at Kure Beach... What a place... serene, quiet, gorgous views - just fisherman and seagulls on the beach. The Kure Beach pier is in the distance where folks fish all day for a $ 5.00 fee. You could have these views too.

Where you are looking for a 2nd home or to relocate you should consider Kure Beach. It is not just a rental beach town there are permanent residents here that enjoy this beach community all year long. It is great for fishing, surfing, sunny, swimming and exploring. Let me know if you are interested...

SELLERS FARE BETTER WITH AGENTS....

Survey: Sellers Fare Better With Agents
Sellers have a better chance at getting their house sold by using a REALTOR® than opting for the do-it-yourself approach, according to a survey of 1,000 homeowners by HomeGain.com, an online real estate resource. In the survey, -Nearly 60 percent of homeowners who used a REALTOR® to sell their home were successful compared to 39 percent of FSBOs. -83 percent of homeowners said they used a REALTOR® to sell their home, whereas 17 percent said they tried to sell it themselves. “It is especially striking that homeowners fare significantly better in selling their homes using a REALTOR® than selling on their own,” says Louis Cammarosano, general manager at HomeGain. “Due to that relative success, the level of satisfaction in the home selling process is also higher for home sellers utilizing the services of a REALTOR® than those who try to sell their homes on their own.” Among the findings in its For Sale by Owner vs. REALTOR® survey: -88 percent of homeowners who sold their homes using a REALTOR® said they would use a REALTOR® again. -24 percent of FSBOs eventually contacted a REALTOR® to help sell their home.

Wilmington NC - Unique Properties - Historical Downtown on the River

I recently sold a condo in this historical building down on the riverfront in Wilmington NC. It was a renovated old warehouse that would hold off loaded goods from ships that came to Wilmington in the 1900's. It was renovated and updated into townhouses in the 80's by a local developer. It has the most spectacular waterview of the Cape Fear River. You have great views of the Battleship North Carolina and of the river boats that go up and down the Cape Fear. Each unit has an outdoor porch overlooking the river. You would have front row seat for the 4th of July fireworks off the battleship. This unit was recently updated with granite and hardwoods and with very tasteful finishes. This lucky family will be using this as a 2nd home. There is currently a 3 bedroom unit for sale in the building. If you have any interest - let me know. These units rarely come on the market and when they do they generally sell pretty quickly. Happy sails...

WILMINGTON, NC- WHERE TO FIND A PUMPKIN

Don't have a pumpkin, yet? Well there are plenty of places in Wilmington to find a pumpkin. Some are :

Wesley Memorial Church on S. College Road - have a multitude of pumpkins for pumpkins lookers of all ages. Some are even decorated for you...

On Market St or HWY 17 in Porters Neck there is a vendor on the right side of the road selling pumpkins. The folks selling pumpkins even are staying in a trailer in the parking lot. So you probably can get a pumpkin anytime if you want one. Pumpkins are even available for $ 5.00. I got one for $5.00 and there was a great selection in that price range. Don't let price stop you from getting a pumpkin.

In Scotts Hill there is a farm stand selling pumpkins.

Also on lower Market Street the PORT CITY Farm stand has pumpkins. Also I think there are pumpkins on the farm stands on Oleander and the one in Oleander Oaks. So all over Wilmington - you can find a pumpkin...for a very affordable price.
