Top 10 Best Reasons to
buy Real Estate in New Bern NC today.
-
Great
selection. There are quite a few homes for sale in New
Bern. Although we are faring better than most of the country we
still have an excellent selection of homes available in various
price ranges.
-
No bidding wars. In 2005, 2006, and 2007
buyers often had bidding wars on homes for sale in New
Bern. This is rarely the case today. It is a buyers market
-
You can make an offer. Not long ago
you were wasting your time to make an offer on a home for sale in
New Bern that was below the asking price. Not the case today.
Sellers are more receptive to below asking price offers.
-
More time to make decisions. In the
turbulent times of a few years ago you needed to decide fast if
you found a home for sale that you liked. Today a buyer has the
time to think it through and make sure you are making the right
decision.
-
More new homes in New Bern to choose
from. In the past, some markets were so hot that there
were lotteries to buy new homes. Builders could not build
them fast enough. Not so today. Let Realtor Steve Tyson help you
find a new home at today's low interest rates.
-
Home Repair request are taken seriously by
sellers. Sold as is was a common phrase a few years ago.
Today sellers are more inclined to make repairs reported on home
inspections.
-
Not as many investors buying up real
estate. As many as one third of properties sold in 2005
and 2006 were sold to investors that were speculating on the
housing market and driving up prices.
-
Interest rates are stupid low. The
interest rates today are at a 50 year low. This makes buying a
home a very attractive alternative to renting. In addition, for
those with good credit there are some special programs in place
to encourage home ownership.
-
Instant equity. Today's slower
market is requiring some homeowners to fire sale their homes
which can result in a buyer acquiring instant equity.
-
New Bern Neighborhoods. The
slower real estate market might open up some neighborhoods to you
that would have been out of your price range a year ago.
Let's sum it all up
It is a definite buyers market. And yes, mortgage rates are at
a 50 year low. Unfortunately when the opportunity to buy is high,
buyer urgency is often low. Why is this the case? Largely
because the national media thrives on bad news. The media often
gives out uninformed and sometimes ridiculous advice. The media
bad news frenzy has scared many potential buyers and prevented
them from buying now when interest rates are low and home prices
have fallen to attractive levels in many areas. This is ironic
because when interest rates were higher and home prices were out
of sight the media was cheering folks to hurry up and buy a home
they could not afford. It was a classic sellers
market yet folks were participating in bidding wars
to buy. This type of herd mentality is insane. Warren Buffet says when people
get greedy I get nervous, when people get nervous I get greedy.
So take it from me, someone who has been in Real Estate
Business over 30 years. If you need a home, now is a great time to
buy. I personally do not think interest rates will remain this
low for an extended time. If you try to time the market and catch
home prices at their rock bottom you might pay a higher interest
rate which will more than offset a small drop in prices.

Where to Retire
Magazine
New Bern is featured in the
July-August 2008 Where To Retire Magazine, one of the leading
magazines for retirees that are looking to relocate. The magazine is not
available online and the following information is quoted from the
article.
When Dave and Barb Rohrbach
retired in New Bern, they were looking for a comfortable home and an interesting town with history. Comfort was
found in a new home they built in a suburban golf community, but
the history was downtown, where they quickly found themselves
part of an American scene that has been unfolding for almost 300
years. As a volunteer with a dedicated green thumb, Barb helps
ensure that the magnificent gardens of the Tryon Palace continue
to burst into blooms each spring as thousands of visitors come to
visit New Bern.
Barb 57, and Dave, 61, who lived in Manchester CT, investigated several retirement locales in
Florida and the Carolinas before stumbling on New Bern
during a trip in August 2002. At the suggestion of a friend they
had gone to look at Wilmington, NC, and as they returned they
discovered New Bern resting picturesquely on the Neuse and
Trent Rivers, its downtown church steeples visible from the
bridge on highway 70.
The sight prompted an
overnight stop, a spontaneous act that changed their lives.
Congenial, friendly people and the charm of New Bern's
colonial character quickly won them over. In 2003 they bought a
home in the suburban Taberna community.
Their quiet rural setting is
only 10 minutes from downtown New Bern, where three historic
districts boast Georgian, neoclassical, federal, and Victorian
architecture. Early statesmen, artisans, and business pioneers
lived here, and many of the homes in New Bern have been restored as
offices, restaurants, and shops.
On the corner of Pollock and
Middle Streets in historic downtown New Bern is the pharmacy once
owned by Caleb Bradham. Here Barb greets customers with, welcome
to the birthplace of Pepsi. While growing flowers at Tryon Palace
is her volunteer job, Barb works twice a week as a paid
"soda jerk" in the restored pharmacy where Brad's
drink later renamed Pepsi-Cola was invented.
It's such a great downtown, Barb
reflects from behind the old-fashioned soda fountain as tourist
wander in and out. It will be New Bern's 300th anniversary in
2010, and a great effort is being made to highlight the city with
updated structures and streets.
Dave, who occasionally drops by
the soda fountain for refreshments, is usually busy doing his
volunteer work with habitat for humanity and the chamber of
commerce.
Steeple bells from half a dozen
historic churches announce the hour, and patrons fill friendly
restaurants and shops aptly named Middle Street, which bisects
downtown.
Judy, a former bank
executive in Sarasota, also works part time downtown New Bern as
a loan-servicing agent with the Neuse River Development
Authority, a non-profit lending organization. "There are art
galleries and a civic center and so much theater talent for a
small town. Costumed characters in Colonial garb work the streets
greeting people," Judy says.
Originally from Maryland, the Bowdle's are
"halfbacks" who decided to move halfway back north to
retire in New Bern's four-season ambience. They wanted
something near the water, and their 3 bedroom home in New
Bern's upscale Greenbrier neighborhood is 10 minutes from
their 20 foot boat at a small marina on the Neuse River. Golf is
another pastime, and during their breaks from their
"jobettes," they enjoy the nearby Emerald Golf Course,
where their initiation fee is $900 and monthly dues are $188 for
full golf membership. For more information on golfing in New Bern Click the

calculator
Here's how it works: You input your
original mortgage balance, the original term and interest rate.
Then figure out how many month's of payments you've
already made. Finally, decide how soon you'd like to have
your mortgage paid off. For example, a couple in their 40's
may decide that they'd like to pay off the 30-year loan they
took out last year in 20 years. They input the particulars of
their current loan, put in a new term of 20 years, and the Early
Payoff Calculator determines how much extra they need to pay each
month to make that happen.
