Teen Day in Fuquay

teen day 1 Fuquay-Varina held their 4th annual Teen Day Saturday, May 10 at the Fuquay-Varina Community Center and South Park. What an awesome program put on by The Town of Fuquay-Varina Police Department!  As the mother of a middle schooler, it was great to hear that this was a “cool” event that all the middle schoolers and some high schoolers were attending.  For the Town and our Police Department to take such an initiative investing in our future drivers is huge!  There was free pizza, free t-shirts, and driver simulation activities to show teens what it feels like to drive while impaired or texting.  The music and DJ were great; they delivered a low key, non-preachy, message to the young adults about how serious this matter is.  My teen even came home with her friends telling me that they signed the pledge banner to Never Drink or Text While Driving.   Thank you Fuquay-Varina Town Police; FRONT PORCH REALTY will definitely help sponsor this program next year!

Southwestern Wake County Q3 MARKET UPDATE

Every quarter I compile sales data and statistics from our local Triangle MLS;  its a great way for me to analyze my pricing strategies and see our whole REAL real estate picture, usually backing up what I already could feel was happening in our Southern Wake real estate market.  Always good to have quantitative data to back up what you are buzzing about! Below is a summary of our entire area; months of inventory along with average price per square foot and average days on market are all  improving, all good indicators of our appreciating market. Sales by CITY Q3 2013 The following link shows a more detailed look at each of our city areas and their price ranges respectively. Market Update Q3 2013 Our “summer” season lasted longer than usual as our Southern and Western Wake county markets have continued to appreciate and rebound.  All areas have lowered their months of inventory in most of their sales price ranges and we are showing balanced and even slight seller markets for some sales prices across the region. This is good news for sellers, and continuing  great news for buyers as mortgage rates have stayed extremely low and mortgage companies are continuing to lighten up on lending. If you would like to receive my Quarterly Market Update personally just let me know and I will be happy to add you to our email distribution and/or to our snail mail hard copy distribution. -Welcome Home, laura
