The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is a volunteer-driven charity committed to funding the most promising research to find cures for childhood cancers and give survivors long and healthy lives.

In the US, more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease. Please make a donation on our behalf to support childhood cancer research so that all children diagnosed with cancer will have a better chance for a cure.

While your there feel free to have a cold beverage, good food and make a donation   There will also be a bounce house for the kids.  After all, it is about them.

Raleigh Cary Realty is proud to raise money for such a great cause and organization.

I am also proud to be one of the shavee’s raising money and will be glad to post an after picture.

I for one am glad to hear it. I do not understand the need to tear everything down and start over.  How green is that anyway?  We are definitely a disposable society aren’t we.

Waverly Place has a distinct look and the plans to make it a much more outdoor friendly space with waterfalls, edge pools, fire pits, a playground, space for a stage and a large lawn are a great idea in my opinion.  As a father of a 2 year old and 5 year old that is  very exciting to me!

Something about Waverly Place I have always liked despite it not being a successful home for many retailers, fitness clubs etc.  Whole Foods which is pictured above has been one of the few mainstays of Waverly and should continue to anchor the shopping center.  Below is I picture I took outside of the shopping center which is an artist rendition of some of the changes being made to Waverly Place.   The renovation is expected to cost in the 15 million range and will hopefully be completed by April of 2011.

We as real estate agents have been told to regularly check the NC Turnpike Authority site for the latest information on where the the extension would go south of its NC 55 intersection on to the Knightdale 264 intersection.

Home sales in subdivisions such as Jamison Park have suffered the last couple of years as the prevailing map and thought had the extension going very near the homes which can sell anywhere from $500,000 to $1,000,000.  The uncertainty was too much for many prospective home buyers.

However, not even a week ago the NC Turnpike sent letters to many homeowner stating that the location was still undecided and that there were a few alternative routes that were being studied and they wanted the local communities input.  Some of us are skeptical if the decision has already been made but we are being told our input will be considered?

I bought my townhome in Scot’s Laurel subdivision in Apex, NC knowing that 540 could be very close but it was an educated decision and I was aware of the risk.  Now it may be farther away which is a good thing for my family but no so much for others.

Sunset Oaks would have homes torn down on one of the proposed routes causing a definite uproar in that subdivision as they bought their homes knowing where 540 was suppose to go.  They had done their due diligence and are now being told that may not have been right.

We will definitely be hearing more over the next month or two as 540 and its southern location is being discussed.

Here are 4 simple questions to ask your lender when you are shopping around.

1 – What are mortgage interest rates based on?

2 – What is the next Economic Report or event that could cause mortgage interest rates to change?

3 – When Bernanke and the Fed “change rates”, what does this mean?… and what impact does this have on mortgage interest rates?

4 – Do you have access to live, real-time mortgage bond quotes?

Be Smart! Ask Questions! Get answers! Your lender MUST be able to answer all of these questions correctly. If not, run – don’t walk – to a lender that does!
