A rise in home prices - the light at the end of the tunnel?

 



July home prices nationally had a reported rise of 3.8%, the biggest increase since 2006.  The July 2012 figures mark the fifth consecutive increase in home prices nationally on both a year-over-year and month-over-month basis. 

 

Many financial experts are saying they are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Real estate is cyclical and what goes up, must come down and vice versa.  Stability is what makes the ups and downs less volitile. 

 

Although our local area was affected with the decline in the overall housing market, it was not as hard hit as many areas that saw giant appreciation growth.  The stability of the local market made it less volitile.

The Raleigh, Cary and Triangle Area Continues to Top Best Places Lists

As a lifelong resident of this area, I have seen many changes around here over the years.  As more and more international businesses have come to the area, the demographics and economy have changed.  The Triangle has grown into one of the best places to live, work, retire and raise a family.  This combined with the relatively mild weather compared to many places in the US, it has become a very desirable place to be.  In just an hour or two in either direction, East or West, you have picturesque mountains or miles of white sand beaches.  With an easy train ride or 4 hour drive, you are in Washington DC.  RDU International Airport provides easy access to anywhere in the world.  Even with all of this growth and boom, this area still remains tied to its Southern charm and welcoming atmosphere.
