As of April 7, 2008, the Raleigh water restrictions have been reduced to Stage 1. What does that mean for those of us on the City of Raleigh water system? It means the following:

Irrigation systems can be used one day a week -
ODD addresses on Tuesday & EVEN addresses on Wednesday from Midnight to 10:00 am.

Hose End Sprinklers can be used one day a week -
ODD addresses on Tuesday & EVEN addresses on Wednesday from 6-10am and 6-10 pm.

Hand Held Hoses can be used twice per week -
ODD addresses on Tues/Sat & EVEN addresses on Wed/Sun from 6-10 am and 6-10 pm.

Personal Vehicle and Pressure washing -
Saturdays and Sundays (Commercial use all days).

Drip Irrigation -
There are no restrictions.

Coming Soon: updated information on the pending cancellation of the Garbage Disposal Ban.

These clients are relocating to North Carolina from California. As their North Carolina Realtor I referred them to a Realtor in California to assist them in selling their existing home. It sold in record time (considering the lethargic California market) and for more than the list price! Let’s welcome them to North Carolina as they will be closing on their home here later this summer after construction is complete.

In the last two weeks there has been a lot of action in our local real estate market. You may very well be able to tell that just by driving through any neighborhood in Raleigh, Cary, Wake Forest, or the rest of Wake County. With the obvious stated, here are the numbers to validate:

# of homes put on the market in last two weeks: 1362
# of those homes already under contract: 76

# of homes now under contract listed prior to the last two weeks: 749

# of homes which have sold in the last two weeks: 765

According to the statistics homes are staying on the market an average of 3 months.

Check back soon for another update. I plan to keep these market updates a regular part of my blog!!
