Springcrest Neighborhood Update
May 30th, 2008 categories: Neighborhoods, Real Estate Market, Real Estate News
Time for some updated numbers on Springcrest. Springcrest is located on the east side of Erwin Road just north of the Sage Rd. intersection. It is convenient to everything, and is within walking distance of East Chapel Hill High School. (OK, it is a long walk, but high school kids can use the exercise.) It is just a short hop to 15-501, Duke, UNC, shopping and other area services.
The chart shows the number and stats of the active homes in Springcrest, as well as the houses that have closed in the past six months. Activity has picked up since February, which is usual. But take a look at the average asking price/sf vs. the average selling price/sf. This could be a reason the Days on Market has crept up. Today’s market is not the same as two years ago. Asking prices need to take this into account. Even so, Springcrest is a very nice neighborhood and worth the look. So, if you are looking for a nice home, convenient to everything, and in the East Chapel Hill High School district, give Springcrest a shot.

Stoneridge-Sedgefield Market Update
May 7th, 2008 categories: Neighborhoods, Real Estate Market, Real Estate News
Time for an update on the statistics in the Stoneridge/Sedgefield neighborhood. It is located along Whitfield Road about one mile east of 86. It is in the area that is in the Chapel Hill School District, but not in the city limits. So, great schools, but no city tax. (There is a special school tax, but it is worth it!) Most of the homes in this neighborhood were built in the early to mid eighties, with at least an acre of land.
The chart shows the number and stats of the active homes in Stoneridge/Sedgefield as well as the houses that have closed in the past six months. These figures are a pretty good indicator of the average price in this neighborhood. You occasionally get houses priced much higher, but those are BIG houses on BIG lots!
So, if you want to be close to everything, but still have your “space”, check out Stoneridge/Sedgefield. Email me, or give me a call at 919-417-9753 if you want more info.

Kirkwood Neighborhood
March 10th, 2008 categories: Home Buying Advice, Neighborhoods, Real Estate Market
The next in our list of neighborhoods is Kirkwood. This townhome community is located at the intersection of Erwin and Weaver Dairy, making it extremely convenient to everything. I know I say that about every community in the area, but it is still true. As you can see from the chart the homes sell in the low $200’s. Built in the 80’s, some of the homes have been nicely updated by their owners over the years. Some units, quite honestly, could use some renovation. But, given the size of the units, if you are at all handy with a hammer, you can do a lot of updating on your own.
If you are in the market for a home where you don’t want the hassle of outdoor care, for either the house or the yard, give Kirkwood a look. Drive through and check out the neighborhood. You will be glad you did.
As with any community I highlight, feel free to give me a call at 919-417-9753, or email me, for more information.

Providence Glen Condos
February 29th, 2008 categories: Neighborhoods, Real Estate Market, Real Estate News
The next neighborhood I have picked is Providence Glen condos. These condominiums are located of Sage Road an Old Sterling. Therefore, as you can imagine, they are convenient to everywhere you might need to go. These are pretty new condos, the final phase just recently being completed. (The units on the market now are re-sales.) Each building has 12 condos, four to a floor. You usually have a choice of two and three bedroom units. Some come with a detached garage space.
There is an elevator in each building so you don’t have to use the stairs if you don’t want the exercise. There is a great clubhouse and pool, as well as a tennis court. The chart shows the units on the market and those that have sold in the past six months. They are well priced for anyone who wants the ease of owning a condo. If you want additional information, give me a call at 919-417-9753.

Silver Creek Neighborhood
February 19th, 2008 categories: Neighborhoods, Real Estate Market, Real Estate News
The next neighborhood I picked for some statistics is Silver Creek. It backs right up to East Chapel Hill High School. The homes in this neighborhood are truly magnificent. You need to take a ride through Silver Creek just to see the designs and landscaping of some of these homes. And if you want to work those calf muscles take a walk through the community. It is hilly! It is convenient to pretty much everywhere you would want to go!
The chart shows the number and stats of the active homes in Silver Creek as well as the houses that have closed in the past six months. Like its neighbor to the east, Springcrest, at the moment there is not a lot of activity, so don’t take the statistics too seriously. But, yes, they are high priced homes. Activity should pick up as the Spring season starts.
