Snow in the Mountains

Hi All,  the sky is threatening us with snow, but nothing yet. Temps have been all over the place...50s one day, and now low 30s! No wonder so many are sick! Be sure to wash your hands frequently and stay away from large crowds. I had bronchitis and it took 5 weeks and 3 antibiotics to get thru it!

Looks like the first phase of the casino won't be opening until 2015 now. The up side is there is still time to get in and buy a vacation cabin. I really do believe we are going to have a shortage of vacation rental properties. The sooner you invest, the better the price! I have several properties that would make awesome vacation rentals. Contact me (828-342-5616) and we can discuss.

On another note, don't forget the folk school has events and civilities all hear long. Here's a link to their site:  https://folkschool.org/index.php?section=event_list

Until next time.......

Happy New Year!!

Well, another year has passed, and there is much to be thankful for. New life has been brought into this world, and sadly, we've also had to say goodbye to loved ones as well. As I sit here looking out the window, I am thankful to be living in these gorgeous mountains! Each season brings its own splendor, and we not only have my folks living nearby, but also have some of my husband's family now living here. Such a simpler life then the hustle and bustle we moved from. So, you maybe wondering if I made any resolutions! Well, today I am going to cut out carbs. My intent is to do so for 3 months. But, since I'm not the chef in the house, it may be difficult to stick to all the time... Spent the day with some really awesome clients looking at houses yesterday! One of my favorite aspects of my job is being able to meet some great families! The husband owns a shrimping company! Hope to have them settled in the mountains soon. My prayer is that you all have a blessed, healthy, prosperous 2014!

Merry Christmas from the NC mountains!!

We are now less than a week away from celebrating the birth of Christ! Health did not permit me to send out Christmas cards this year, but I figure we are all entitled to a break every once in a while.... Real estate continues to move in our area. The weather has been hit or miss. We've had lows into the teens, and today's high is supposed to be 62! No wonder so many people are sick! The warmer weather makes for showing real estate much nicer though. Still a lot of great deals to be found in our neck of the woods. Most of the holiday events are over. My son's local Cub Scout Pack won a big trophy in the Christmas Parade. I believe it had something to do with being the most joyous! Am told the boys were singing Christmas Carols. The Monthly Art Walk downtown has wound down for the season, Sweet Tooth is closed, and the Farmers Market in Murphy won't be back until April. Our community has been quite busy over the summer and fall! Happy Holidays to everyone. Be safe on the roads, and stay healthy!!!

Brrrrrrr......

Hi all! It's been a while since I've posted as I've been under the weather lately. Hope everyone else is staying warm and healthy! Real estate continues to move in our area. I should be closing on a nice piece of property today. Will be closing on an older home next week that is just perfect for my client! The weather has been pretty chilly in the mornings making for some ice. The frost on the trees looks beautiful! Afternoons are getting up to the 40s and low 50s. I do hope you have a blessed and safe Christmas and New Years, if I don't write again before then!

Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Hi All, hope everyone has been well and staying warm! Seems the weather has cooled down all across the country. They've been threatening us with snow, but haven't seen any at our elevation yet. I read an article this morning that said the mortgage industry was going to see a shift in 2014 from refinances to first home purchases. That's great for real estate! They expect a strong market, too. I've already started seeing an increase this year, and am looking forward to a great 2014. On another note, there are some things happening in the area. Following is a link to the folk school with their happenings for December: https://blog.folkschool.org/2013/11/14/john-c-campbell-folk-school-featured-craft-americas-holiday-episode-pbs/ Have a safe and blessed Thanksgiving!
