Dear Community,
Tips for Buying in a Tight Market
Increase your chances of getting your dream house in a competitive housing market, and lower your chances of losing out to another buyer. 1. Get prequalified for a mortgage. You'll be able to make a firm commitment to buy and your offer will be more desirable to the seller. 2. Stay in close contact with your real estate agent to find out about the newest listings. Be ready to see a house as soon as it goes on the market - if it's a great home, it will go fast. 3. Scout out new listings yourself. Look at Web sites such as REALTOR.com, browse your local newspaper's real estate section, and drive through the neighborhood to spot For Sale signs. If you see a home you like, write down the address and the name of the listing agent. Your real estate agent will schedule a showing. 4. Be ready to make a decision. Spend a lot of time in advance deciding what you must have in a home so you won't be unsure when you have the chance to make an
offer. 5. Bid competitively. You may not want to start out offering the absolute highest price you can afford, but don't go too low to get a deal. In a tight market, you'll lose out. 6. Keep contingencies to a minimum. Restrictions such as needing to sell your home before you move or wanting to delay the closing until a certain date can make your offer unappealing. In a tight market, you'll probably be able to sell your house rapidly. Or talk to your lender about getting a bridge loan to cover both mortgages for a short period. 7. Don't get caught in a buying frenzy. Just because there's competition doesn't mean you should just buy it. And even though you want to make your offer attractive, don't neglect inspections that help ensure that your house is sound. Reprinted from REALTOR® Magazine with permission of the NAR.

MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
By Bob Van Houten Moore County Home Builders Association President
Get Cooking this Summer with an Outdoor Kitchen
Most home owners will agree that it’s just not summer without the sizzle of the grill. But running back and forth from the kitchen to the barbeque can get old quickly. Outdoor kitchens make life easier for those who frequently enjoy grilling their meals, can enhance your home’s resale value and enjoy growing demand among prospective home buyers. Here are a few questions to take into account when determining if an outdoor kitchen is right for you. What works best in your space? Outdoor kitchens can be as elaborate — or as
simple — as you’d like. But to make the most of your new space, you need to carefully consider the design. Have a professional check the patio or deck where you plan on building your outdoor kitchen beforehand. While most can support the additional weight, you may need to add structural support. Think about how the space will be used. Do you want guests to eat outside or just mingle while you cook? What features (pool, trees, etc.) are already in your backyard and need to be worked around? Is there enough ventilation area so smoke from the grill can blow away?
Make sure there is plenty of space for people to watch without getting in the way or being too close to open flames. Typically, there should be 3 feet of space on either side of the grill for work space and food preparation. How often will you be using your outdoor kitchen? This will determine numerous factors, including the equipment you purchase. If you will use your outdoor kitchen just in the summer, a grill with wheels can be moved into the garage and protected from the elements once the seasons change. These types of grills are the most common and come in a wide variety of sizes and prices with a range of features. You can also take these with you if you move to a new home. If you want to use your outdoor kitchen yearround, you’ll need to do more planning. Look for
a built-in grill with side burners in the base unit that allow for cooking at different temperatures simultaneously. This base can provide extra countertop and storage space. Make sure the grill is in an area that can withstand high temperatures and is impervious to stray embers or sparks, such as a stone patio. Remember, you won’t be able to take it with you, so think carefully before investing a lot in a permanent grill. Take into account your lighting needs. Do your feasts typically run through the twilight hours? Direct light is best for the work area so you can regularly monitor the progress of the meat. Softer lighting works well for socializing areas and in setting a mood for your guests. What else do I need?
Standard grill accessories that every backyard chef needs include griddles for grilling fish and veggies, a meat thermometer, and tongs. And don’t forget insect control. Citronella candles, torches or other repellents will help keep pesky insects at bay. An exhaust hood keeps smoke out of your guests’ eyes. Refrigerators with ice makers are ideal for storing beverages and food that needs to be kept cold. An outdoor sink makes prepping and cleaning veggies an easy task. Unless you plan on washing dishes outside, a cold water connection is all you need. For small appliances and stereos, you’ll need outdoor GFCI outlets. Consult with a professional electrician for
local code requirements. Consider purchasing patio heaters or an outdoor fireplace if you plan on grilling in the chilly months. Weatherproof your new outdoor kitchen. Get a cover for grills that live outdoors. Select weatherproof materials for countertops, cabinets, and other elements of your kitchen. Stainless steel, slate, tile, stucco and stone all work well. A large tent or outdoor umbrella can cover your guests and equipment in inclement weather.

Angela Rooney
main reason I made the move to Keller Williams was for the training. The systems, tools, and models have helped me take my business to a whole new level.” Even though the current real estate market is challenging, Angela believes you have to shift with it. “In order to successfully sell real estate in the current market conditions, real estate agents have to commit to success, educate themselves, work smarter, and have a plan.” Angela lives in Pinewild, attends Grace Church in Southern Pines, enjoys step aerobics, and plays golf with her husband, Randy.
