Lots of holiday cheer — and of course, great basketball.  Starting tonight at the Smith Center the Tar Heels will take on Ohio State as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.   This Saturday the Kentucky Wildcats come to town for a 12noon game. 

Take a look at the Carolina Inn’s web page if you are looking for a great place to visit with Santa.  The Inn’s “Twelve Days of Christmas“ are a great way for you and your family to celebrate the season.  We always make plans to have breakfast with Santa — and he seems to come through every year for my sons!

On Saturday, December 9th it’s time for the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Holiday Parade.  Start time is 10am and you can line up on Franklin Street to see the floats, bands and community groups march.  The Jaycees sponsor the parade and will be collecting for Toys for Tots - so bring an unwrapped toy with you to donate.

Fall is a great time to look at getting your house ready for a Spring sale.  I can come out and look around, make recommendations on any small repairs and staging we might want to do now.    I’ll do a competitive market analysis (CMA).   In this document, we’ll be looking at what your neighborhood and similar locations are selling for.   We’ll determine together what the top price will be for your property.   I’ll show you our marketing plan, utilizing my own experience and the power of Prudential Carolinas real estate.

But don’t forget - if you can consider a sale now, inventories are low.  A home that is priced well and professionally marketed can be sold in days.

And for the Chapel Hill home buyer, I can set up an automatic email system that will send you new listings and price adjustments on homes in our areas that fit your parameters of size, price, Chapel Hill schools, etc.  A great way to begin to learn about local home sales.
