Beautiful weekend in the mountains!! Weather is cooling off and the leaves are about to display their gorgeous colors!!!

Heads up to those interested...the casino is about to break ground. So, if you've thought of investing in real estate, we will soon be in short supply of vacation rental properties!! We've still got some deals around that you'll surely recoup your costs on! Don't wait or you'll miss out on a great investment opportunity! Just call me (828-342-5616), visit my website (www.mtnpropertiesbycarol.com), or email me (MurphyCarol@earthlink.net) and we can discuss.

Have a wonderful week!

FALL COLORS ARE JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

Happy Wednesday!! The evenings have started to cool off some. I've even added a blanket on my bed! Daytime temps have been wonderful! Things are happening in the NC mountains! We've got the John C. Campbell Folk School Fall Festival this Saturday and Sunday. I love going to this festival every year! Great crafts,  demonstrations, great food, and fun entertainment. It's one of the local events I look forward to every year. I will actually be in Dillsboro, NC on Saturday with my mom keeping her company at their local craft fair. My mom is very talented and is selling her painted rocks. She paints them to look like houses, churches, stores, etc. She has a lot of fun doing it and they are a good seller. I even have some in my outdoor garden!

Looks like they'll be breaking ground on the new casino in a couple of weeks. There's going to be a real demand for vacation rentals once it's complete. If you're thinking on investing in real estate, I don't think you could go wrong buying a cabin here to rent out. Don't wait too long, though, as prices will be going up as well. You know how to get a hold of me should you be interested in real estate. I'm also licensed in GA.

Had the opportunity to share my "rocks" with some people in the office today. Ever since taking Geology in college, I've been fascinated by rocks. But, I have also found a couple of artifacts while showing real estate in the area. I've actually found an artifact on my own property! A couple of months ago, my son and I were walking in a creek looking for pretty rocks and I actually found a piece of petrified wood! Needless to say, if  you ever come to visit me, I have plenty of rocks to show you!  :)

Folk School Fall Festival

Where does the time go? Even my nine year old said to me the other day, "Mom, this year sure has gone by fast!" Boy is he right!! Seems Fall is here...the nights have cooled off, and our daytime temps have been wonderful this summer!!! Don't know that I'm ready for Fall yet as Summer has been so nice! But, one bright spot is the John C. Campbell Folk School's Fall Festival is just around the corner!! Here's a link to the event:

Real Estate Statistics

What a beautiful morning in the mountains!! I woke up to a nice 64 degrees and fog. Now, at almost 11:30, it's a gorgeous 72 degrees with the sun shining. We've had a surprisingly mild summer so far. And, while it's been very wet, all the rain promises for some spectacular fall colors this year!! I think Fall is my favorite season...seeing the trees lose their old leaves only to sleep through the Winter and awaken with the promise of being renewed!

I saw in the Cherokee Scout yesterday they will be breaking ground on the Casino (Harrah's) in Murphy by mid-October. They are predicting 900 new jobs, which should be a real boost to our economy!

On a real estate note, recent statistics for the month of July show there were 7,461 properties on the market.  This may seem like a lot, but is waaaaay down from a high of 15,505 during the same month in 2008. While this is not ideal for a buyer, it is great for sellers. The less inventory for a buyer to choose from, the better position the seller is in to negotiate.

There were 296 closings in July, which is the highest in that month since 2007. 43 of those properties were in Cherokee county. The average sales price has gone up as well. Sales prices compared to list prices are at 91.72%, but sales prices to the original list prices (property prices were reduced during the time the property was listed) are at 88.45%.

Lastly, I would love some feedback on my blog. Let me know what you do and don't like to see on it. I want this to be a place where you find helpful information, whether it be about the community or real estate. I really want your input...

Hope the rest of your day goes great!
Carol...
