Raleigh Wake Forest Real Estate

The city of Raleigh officially loosened its water restrictions this morning, but officials vowed there would be no return to the free-wheeling days of yesteryear.”We’re not going back to all-day, any-day watering,” Mayor Charles Meeker said at a press conference announcing a return to Stage 1 restrictions.

The Stage 1 rules allow residents to water once a week during select hours of the day. Residents can wash their cars and power wash their homes only on Saturday and Sunday. Violators of the Stage 1 rules face an initial $200 fine and a $1,000 fine for a second violation.

When you are in a buyers market, like we have now in Raleigh, as well as in most of the country, it is crucially important to have a real estate professional with the experience necessary to move the transaction forward. For sellers, they need someone who knows the Raleigh real estate market inside out and who is using all of the marketing tools available. One of the things to look for when deciding who to use is, not surprisingly, do they have a blog? Can you find their blog or website on search engines? That is why you need to choose Shelly Thompson for your next real estate transaction.

A lot of people are concerned about the value of their houses now that there has been a bit of a slowdown in the housing market. In looking at the average home prices in any area, I find Trulia to be farily accurate, but not always on the money. In terms of Wake Forest Real Estate, Trulia shows the average to be $364,965 this week, compared to $370,383 a month ago. Not a significant change, but reflective of the trend in selling and buying homes around this time of year. Wake Forest Homes are holding their value, and will for the forseeable future.
