The Power of Local: Why Selling Your Home with a Local Real Estate Agent Matters

In the bustling world of real estate, the decision to sell your home is a significant one. It’s not just about listing a property; it’s about navigating a complex transaction that holds loads of emotional and financial weight.

Our roots run deep here, and our commitment to serving our neighbors is unwavering. Here’s why choosing a local real estate agent like us is paramount:

From professional photography to targeted online campaigns, we leave no stone unturned in maximizing your home’s exposure.

Fuquay-Varina End of Year Market Update : 2023

Here is a quick look of our Southern Wake and Harnett counties 2023 Year-end Market Update!
2023 brought us a much slower-paced market with months of inventory just beginning to look slightly balanced. Buyers were priced out of the market with the rising interest rates, and sales prices holding steady. Rents are high, but house payments are even higher. Our end of the Triangle in Southwest Wake and into Harnett County is continuing to experience business and retail growth which will continue to bring buyers to our area. Supply of resale homes will continue to be low as those resale owners that have refinanced in recent years are choosing not to go anywhere.
Front Porch Realty has opened our Property Management division, Front Porch Rentals, for residential and multi-family units. Front Porch Rentals is thriving, please keep us in mind for yourself or those investors you know!
In summary, we saw a decrease in units SOLD across the board except New Construction in Harnett County. Price / square foot increased slightly from 2022 and we saw Average Sales price decrease for New Construction and increase for Re-sale homes.
Let Front Porch Realty be your “go to” for all of your LOCAL real estate needs, rest assured you will be extremely satisfied with our level of professionalism and expertise.

2nd Quarter Market Update 2023

We are still seeing low inventories across our market; however, we are beginning to see a more balanced market, and even a slight buyer’s market at higher price points and with some new construction. Keep in mind, often new construction is listed at time of permit, so our “Active” numbers are a little skewed as “active” does not necessarily mean “available” for quite some time. Price/square foot has decreased over the last year due to an increase in new construction inventory; re-sale homes are still highly competitive as they are usually on larger lots and ready for immediate move-in.
 
I believe our local housing market is going to continue to be robust despite rising rates. We still have such a surplus of people moving into the entire Triangle area. Buyers right now are coming from all over the country in addition we always have local renters, empty nesters, and growing families staying locally in Fuquay-Varina.
