whats the average listing days in the city of concord

Asked Sat Jul 7 2007, 14:19 by Bob - Concord - Market Conditions - 2 answers

Leigh Brown answered:

In downtown Concord, active listings are at an average of 97 days on market, pending listings at 69 days on market (the best ones sell first!), and sold listings in the past 6 months were at 89 days on market. I didn't break this out by price band, only by area of town. If you have additional questions, let me know and I'll be glad to help. - Sat Jul 7 2007, 19:42

A great website for comparing schools ishttp:// www.greatschools.net, it's built by parents and supported by schools so will often give you more information than the state scores. - Wed Jul 4 2007, 16:58

When is the best time to purchase a home or land in Burnsville, NC?

Asked Wed Jul 4 2007, 09:08 by Donna - Spruce Pine - Market Conditions - 3 answers

Leigh Brown answered:

Actually, I don't think there are any bad times to buy in the NC mountains right now, as the area becomes more and more attractive to retirees and second home purchasers. Is Spruce Pine still dry? If so, buying before it goes 'wet' (which seems to be inevitable everywhere now) will be to your advantage if past history of other dry towns holds true. Happy 4th and enjoy the rest of the week-I love Mitchell County, it's gorgeous. - Wed Jul 4 2007, 16:55

What is the standard agent's commission and can this be negociated?

Asked Tue Jul 3 2007, 07:40 by Terry - 13212 - General Area - 11 answers

Leigh Brown answered:

excellent discussion. I'd like to add that the folks who choose to work with agents are getting far more than marketing for their dollar. I truly earn my paycheck between the time a buyer writes a contract and when that contract comes through to closing. There are many, many pitfalls in real estate and an experienced professional guiding through is worth more than is paid in many instances. Sure, we all have 'easy' transactions-but they're often seen as 'easy' because the professionals on both ends are seasoned and prepared. As one of my favorite attorneys often says, real estate is 'cookie cutter, cookie cutter, explosion'. And if you hit an explosion, you don't want to be on your own or with an agent who doesn't know what to do or who to call. - Wed Jul 4 2007, 16:52
