A Good Week!

Posted by

Landfall Realty participated in negotiating and procuring 4 Landfall contracts this past week, and another couple appear to be nearing the contract stage.  Martie Davy was the agent involved in three of the sales, all homes, in one of her busiest weeks ever!   2012 started stongly, and momentum is building.  Buyers are still seeking good values and bargains, but there are quite a few prospective Landfall buyers out there recognizing the value of a fully completed, mature and financially sound community.   The mood of the Landfall prospect is definitely more positive than in the past few years.

What a Start!

Posted by

Landfall Realty has seen record numbers of sales for the January/February period, with 18 transactions closed or pending.  This exceeds the 2005 totals!  With sales traffic still healthy, and the traditional sales season just beginning, confidence is growing that 2012 will be a far better year than 2011, which was itself a far better year than 2010.

We also are pleased to see some new spec homes being built in Landfall.  LFR has already listed two new homes that have sold, and we are working with builders on several more about to be put under construction.  We have also paired several home site buyers with builders, evidence that the custom home construction business is also improving.

It has been a long time coming, but better times are finally here.  As a completed and essentially debt free community, we have long known that Landfall is perfectly positioned for a rebounding market.  Buyers are now confirming that belief.

North Carolina Moves Past Florida

Posted by

A few years ago, united Van Lines determined that, from its customer base, North Carolina was the top in-migration state in the US.  Landfall NC residents should find it interesting that the US Census Bureau in its recent American Community Survey reported that between 2003 and 2008, about 42,000 people migrated from Florida to North Carolina.  While those moving into and out of Florida are now about equal in number, there are far more people making NC their new residence than are moving from the state.  This interesting fact is just one of the reasons that property sales in Landfall doubled from 2009 to 2010 as the buying public recognized the value of a mature and financially sound development.

Landfall Realty Welcomes Karen Thompson

Karen Thompson

Karen Thompson

     We are very pleased to announce the addition of Karen  Thompson to the Landfall Realty sales team. 

     In 1991 Karen moved to Wilmington where she had enjoyed many happy vacations during her younger years.  After meeting and marrying her husband, the two found that the perfect place to raise a family was in Landfall and she (as well as all of our agents) can tell you all about our community from her personal experience.  Karen and her family enjoy all the activities and events that Landfall presents every year and finds that the safety of Landfall’s neighborhoods for the many children here is one the biggest benefits. 

     Karen is very active in community work in Wilmington and volunteers with her children’s schools, teaches Sunday school, and serves on the Board of Friends of UNCW. 

     Karen comes to Landfall Realty with a wealth of experience in many areas of real estate including new home sales.  Another area of specialization for Karen is in relocations which will be a huge asset to those of our clients who come here from outside of the Coastal Carolina area.

     We look forward to having Karen incorporate her knowledge and expertise into our office and invite you to stop by and meet our newest agent the next time you’re in the Wilmington, NC area.

Forum Postcript, Part 3

Posted by

Continuing my summary recap of Landfall Realty’s recent Real Estate Forum held at Landfall Country Club, I called attention to some of the points made by Bob Seelert in his book  “Start With the Answer.”  Loosely stated, some of those points are:

1) Get the truth on the table, don’t pretend.

2) Establish standards and expectations based on a new reality.

3) Think long term; act short term.

4) Communicate with members of your own team.

5) Listen to and learn from your customers and peers.

These points are,  I believe, valuable in running any business.  However, they have particular validity in establishing a relationship between a real estate agent and a real estate customer.  In my next blog, I will expand upon these point in the context of selling and buying property in Landfall, NC.

Homebuyer Tax Credit EXPANDED!

Posted by

We at Landfall Realty are excited about the creation of the Homebuyer Tax Credit enacted into law earlier this month.  The fact that the bill has been expanded to include other than first home purchasers is a huge bonus and may present a real opportunity for qualified purchasers! Now, existing homeowners are eligible for a $6,500 tax CREDIT upon purchase of a qualifying home if they have occupied their current home for 5 of the previous 8 years, and if their combined income is less than $225,000.  This credit is available in the year of closing (2009 or 2010).  The qualifying purchase contract must be executed prior to April 30, 2010, and  go to closing prior to July 1, 2010.  The maximum purchase price for the new home purchased is $800,000 with no exceptions.  For more information and a summary chart of the new tax credit (and the extented first home buyer credit as well)  please contact Landfall Realty at 910-256-6111.   Remember, a tax credit is far more valuable than a deduction, as it offsets tax dollars owed on a dollar for dollar basis.
