River Bend in New Bern NC Real Estate Market Update November 14, 2013


   November 14, 2013


River Bend Real Estate Market Update 



There are currently 66 properties listed for sale in River Bend community.
http://www.easternncmls.com/new/maildoc/babis_1384439797-Nov-14-2013-9_36_37am.html

3 of them are bank owned properties and I am very please to say that we have been seeing a decrees in this number.

http://www.easternncmls.com/new/maildoc/babis_1384439708-Nov-14-2013-9_35_08am.html


There are 9 properties under contract today and 3 of them are bank owned foreclosures.

In the last 3 months 21 properties sold in river bend and 4 of them have been bank owned foreclosures.
http://www.easternncmls.com/new/maildoc/babis_1384439539-Nov-14-2013-9_32_19am.html

River Bend community currently has 9,1 months worth of inventory (That is if no other homes come on the market).  And this number (as bad as it looks) is much better then what we have been seeing in the past 4 years. This time in 2011 we had 107 properties listed for sale in River Bend. I am so happy to see number of foreclosures decline and hopefully we will see market condition improve with it.

Active Retirement in New Bern NC

"There are 40 million Americans 65 and older today; by 2050 that number is expected to double to 80 million," No wonder we have more and more communities addressing active retirement lifestyle.


Today's retirees understand that there is no youth fountain and that key to good heath and happiness is to remain active. So the first step when choosing your retirement community is to take a close look at ate life stay and the activities that community offers. A place like New Bern, NC, which offers a full calendar of enriching activities that specifically cater to senior lifestyles sure is something to check out.

 With nearly 2,000 retirees choosing New Bern, NC each year as their retirement destination, senior lifestyles in this historical riverfront town are active, rich in culture and well protected through medical services. Populated with many people that bought second homes during the housing boom that now serve as their primary retirement home, retirees work tirelessly to preserve New Bern's beauty and history. 

  Made even more attractive by New Bern's rich cultural history, mild climate, relatively low cost of living, beautiful surroundings and friendly people, there's no wonder why New Bern's retirement community continues to grow year after year.

Atlantic hurricane 2013 season begins Saturday


They may not strike, but you should still be ready.
Before the Atlantic hurricane season officially begins Saturday, the National Hurricane Center is hosting National Hurricane Preparedness Week this week.
Saturday, June 1 marks Day 1 of the six-month hurricane period ending in November, which is a reminder for area counties to double-check and inform residents about disaster plans.
The NHC is predicting between 13 and 20 tropical storms in 2013. Up to 11 of those are predicted to become hurricanes and between three and six could turn into major storms.
“We typically take a look at what’s coming off Africa,” said meteorologist Lara Pagano about tracking the tropical storm cycle. “You have to have the warm sea surface temperatures and not too much wind sheer out there so it can start to develop.”
Pagano, who works with the National Weather Service in Newport, said with these “ingredients,” the weather service can forecast the intensity of a storm as it gets closer.
Although it will be an active hurricane season, Pagano said there may or may not be landfall.
 Randy Skinner, Greene County Emergency Services manager, said, “The biggest thing I can stress to the citizens of the county is to make sure you have supplies that last you at least three days.”

With a busy hurricane season predicted, one hasn’t made landfall since Hurricane Irene in 2011. More than 2 million people were under mandatory evacuation and 26 river-flooding records were broken, according to Huffingtonpost.com.
Hurricane Floyd of 1999, also called the “500-Year Storm,” devastated the Kinston area more than the others. When that catastrophic storm bellowed into North Carolina, most of Kinston’s highways were inundated; the Neuse River rose to 28 feet and it cost Lenoir County $310,000,000 in damages.
Floyd was tracked in its early stages.
“People need to pay attention to the forecast (and) the hazards that are involved with them and heed the advice of the emergency managers and the national weather services,” Pagano said. “I think that’s the best that most people can do at this point.”

Hurricane preparedness checklist

PRIME Realty NC wants you and your family to stay safe this Hurricane season.  Key to safety during any tropical storm is preparedness so please take few moments read through this and make sure you have all of the supplies you and your family might need. Lets hope we don't need any of them this year but please be prepared!

  
FROM National Hurricane Center 

Two keys to weather safety are to prepare for the risks and to act on those preparations when alerted by emergency officials. These are essential pieces to the Weather-Ready Nation.

Refer to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) ready.gov/hurricanes for comprehensive information on hurricane preparedness at home and in your community.
Highlights on how to prepare and take action are available below:

Gather Information

Know if you live in an evacuation area. Assess your risks and know your home's vulnerability to storm surge, flooding and wind. Understand National Weather Service forecast products and especially the meaning of NWS watches and warnings.
Contact your local National Weather Service office and local government/emergency management office. Find out what type of emergencies could occur and how you should respond.

Contacts

Keep a list of contact information for reference.

  • Local Emergency Management Office
  • County Law Enforcement
  • County Public Safety Fire/Rescue
  • State, County and City/Town Government
  • Local Hospitals
  • Local Utilities
  • Local American Red Cross
  • Local TV Stations
  • Local Radio Stations
  • Your Property Insurance Agent

Risk Analysis

Online hazard and vulnerability assessment tools are available to gather information about your risks.
Image of an Example Disaster Supply Kit

Plan & Take Action

Everyone needs to be prepared for the unexpected. Your friends and family may not be together when disaster strikes. How will you find each other? Will you know if your children or parents are safe? You may have to evacuate or be confined to your home. What will you do if water, gas, electricity or phone services are shut off?

Supplies Kit

Put together a basic disaster supplies kit and consider storage locations for different situations. Help community members do the same.

Emergency Plans

Develop and document plans for your specific risks.

Health & Environment

Follow guidelines to guard your community's health and protect the environment during and after the storm.

Evacuation

Image of Interstate Traffic in an Evacuation
  • Review the FEMA Evacuation Guidelines to allow for enough time to pack and inform friends and family if you need to leave your home. FOLLOW instructions issued by local officials. Leave immediately if ordered!
  • Consider your protection options to decide whether to stay or evacuate your home if you are not ordered to evacuate.
When waiting out a storm be careful, the danger may not be over yet...
Be alert for:
  • Tornadoes – they are often spawned by hurricanes.
  • The calm "eye" of the storm – it may seem like the storm is over, but after the eye passes, the winds will change direction and quickly return to hurricane force.

Recover

  • Wait until an area is declared safe before returning home.
  • Remember that recovering from a disaster is usually a gradual process.

The Palace gardens were designed by noted landscape architect Morley Jeffers Williams in the 1950s and represent the formal garden style of 18th-century Britain.

Every fall, the formal parterres of the Maude Moore Latham Garden and the Gertrude Carraway Garden have elaborate displays of mums. Our spring display includes daffodils, tulips, and many other colorful flowers.

Also included are individual gardens surrounding three historic houses - one with a formal lawn and camellia collection, town garden and swept yard/working garden. Three additional gardens reveal the splendor of the Victoria era.
