Latest Building Permit Report Released-WNC Real Estate Market Affected

The latest Building Permit Report has been released for the Western North Carolina Region. The report covers 10 counties in the region. This includes Asheville, NC, Cashiers, NC, Highlands, NC, Sapphire NC and Lake Glenville areas. As a whole the Western North Carolina region is down 45% on building permits so far this year 2008, compared with last year 2007.

From Bald Rock, NC Real Estate

What does this mean for people looking to invest in property?

• First, it indicates that buyers would rather buy a pre-existing home than build.
• Second, owners who can afford to, are holding on to their land and waiting until the economy recovers.
• Thirdly, if builders are building 45% less than last year, that would explain the drastic drop in land sales for 2008.

Developers and owners of land are all competing to sell their inventory since the need for building is almost half of what it once was just a year ago. Individuals who have land on the market, likely know the builders have stopped building in speculation and also have a large supply of unsold lots. If owner's need to sell they are more than willing to negotiate on price.

The whole region has an over supply of land sitting on the market waiting for buyers. You will find everything for sale from large tracks of land ready for development, golf course frontage tracks, and 1 acre plus lots in residential subdivisions.

If you've been to our mountain community you know how amazing the mountain and lake view lots are. This may be one of the best times in years to invest in mountain property in North Carolina. Prices are dropping and inventory is high. Supply is plentiful and demand is low.

Someone shared with me a famous quote today by Warren Buffet that I thought was appropriate

"We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to

be greedy only when others are fearful."

Sapphire Ridge-Sapphire Valley/Cashiers, NC

I've decided to write a little review of my own when I take a tour of a community. I think it's important in deciding what to buy, and where to buy, to take a look at different areas and price ranges. Like the show "What you get for the money". This is my version!


This neighborhood is situated above Holly Forest and beneath Eagle Ridge in the Resort Community of Sapphire Valley/Cashiers, NC. Elevation is somewhere around 3,400-3,700 ft.


This community will be gated once the roads & infrastructure are completed. Large estate size lots, community water, big easterly to southwest mountain views. Owning in Sapphire Ridge will also give you access to the Sapphire Valley Amenities.


Developer will provide septic permit and survey at closing.


Lot 25 is my pick as the number one lot in this subdivision as it offers a great up close view of the face of Little Hogback Mountain and the Eastern Continental Divide. The lot is 2.7 acres


Other lots have nice creeks running through them and waterfall views as well. Pricing range from 125K to 275K and lot sizes are 1.6 to 4.0 acres in size.


For those investors looking to get in on the ground level there are no restrictions on timeframe to build. You won't be able to get up to the site without a 4 wheel drive until paving is complete, as there are signs posted at the entrance.


Let me know when you'll be in town. I'll be happy to show you the any of the lots Sapphire Ridge!

Three must-know design considerations for Log & Timber Frame Home Building

Whether you've been waiting a couple of months or a couple of decades to build a log home, you know that size and layout are key to whether your home will live up to your dreams.

Here's what the experts say when it comes to Log Home Design 101:
Be true to your site, your budget, and your lifestyle, and you won't go wrong.
While it's only human to start amassing folders of home designs from magazines and off the internet, it's best to not fall too far in love with a particular design until you have your land.


Some communities have covenants directing the size and height of your house. And a site that's clinging to the side of a mountain with a fantastic view in one direction and a bland roadbank on the other merits a different house than, say, a flat wooded lot with an inviting stream on one side of your building site, a spectacular birch grove on another, and a wildlife trail on the third."


Things to know before you build:
If there is a dramatic view, you want to optimize it at much as possible," says Bridger Mountain Log Homes' Brian Gregoire, noting that rooms that get the most use, such as a great room, dining room, and kitchen, should be designed to take the best advantage of sweeping vistas, while rooms designed for more private functions such as sleeping and reading or watching television might have less access to the panorama outside.
