Even after the severe thunderstorms of last night, all folks who use Raleigh public water are under Stage 2 Water Conservation restrictions. This includes everyone in Raleigh, Garner, Knightdale, Rolesville, Wake Forest, Wendell, and Zebulon. Stage 2 restrictions consist of the following:

`No public water use for irrigation.
`No filling new swimming pools, however to maintain sanitary conditions, water may be added to existing pools.
`No vehicle washing at home or at any unapproved car wash establishments. Check www.raleighnc.gov for a list of those businesses.
`No washing driveways, sidewalks, decks, patios, etc.
`Leaking pipes will warrant an immediate interruption of water service.
`Drinking water is only served upon request in all restaurants.
`No non-essential water use for commercial or public use.
`Any heating or cooling equipment operated via water that isn’t recycled must be set to the highest and lowest settings.
`Hotels must ask guests to reuse towels and bedding when staying longer than one night.

WARNING!!! Fines of $1,000 will be delivered to first time violators and any other violations will result in water service interruption.

Well folks, spring is in the air! What was once a distant fantasy is almost a reality. While I have your attention, let me remind you that Sunday, Daylight Savings Time begins so don’t forget to set your clock one hour forward on Saturday night.

While spring brings longer days and shorter nights, it has always had the tendency to bring us a large number of new home listings as well. I don’t see this year as any different. In my neighborhood alone, 21 new listings have come on the market in the last 2 weeks. As of today, there were 1232 new listings in all of Wake County during the last 2 weeks.

This tells me that sellers are recognizing that the buyers are out. And todays buyers are fully aware that this is a buyers market. The number of new listings is very promising. Let’s see what the 2008 Selling Season has to bring!
