Snow in Hubert North Carolina

I know some of you think I've lost my mind but snow is exciting here--it is a rarity! This is the first measurable snow we've had in 5 years.

We loved watching it fall and blanket all the trees, bushes and grass making our yards a winter wonderland here in Hubert N C. We only got a couple of inches but in the South, that's enough to stop EVERYTHING and cause us to sit by the window and watch it fall.

W

By the end of the week, our temperatures will be back in the 60s so we'll enjoy the beautiful snow while it lasts, who knows when we'll see it again in Onslow County North Carolina.

Hubert & Swansboro NC Residential Market Report

You have heard it said time and time again but it can never be said too many times or in too many ways "Real estate is local". In other words what you hear from the news media about the housing market may not be true for your area.

What is true for one state, county, town or community may or may not apply to its neighbor. That is why it is so very important that when you are ready to buy or sell real estate that you work with an experienced, local agent who knows your area.

Onslow County North Carolina is comprised of several small towns and each is unique and home prices reflect that.

Today I am concentrating on the Swansboro/Hubert area and providing you with the market statistics for that area. Let's take a look at how 2008 Hubert/Swansboro homes sales compared with 2007 home sales.

Year	Total Listed	Num. Sold	% Sold	Avg. Sale Price of Sold	Sale Price/ List Price Ratio	Avg. DOM of Sold	Avg. List Price of Unsold	% Expired
2007	702	450	64.10%	$185,377	98.49%	63	$342,687	9.40%
2008	611	362	59.25%	$187,233	97.55%	102	$286,195	21.28%

Now let's look at the 4th Quarter of 2008

Total Listed	Num. Sold	% Sold	Avg. Sale Price of Sold	Sale Price/ List Price Ratio	Avg DOM of Sold	Avg. List Price of Unsold	% Expired
139	90	64.75%	$186,332	97.99%	118	$248,636	30.22%

As you can see from these statistics (from the Onslow County, NC MLS) Swansboro/Hubert real estate is holding its own pretty well. Houses are taking longer to sell but they are selling.

It all comes down to understanding the local market and pricing a property right from the very beginning and to do that you need a local, experienced and knowledgable agent.

Remember the current market price of your Onslow County N C home has nothing to do with

• How much you owe on the mortgage
• How much you paid for the house
• How much it appraised for last year
  
• What you have spent on repairs and/or improvements
• What the county shows as the tax value
  
• How much you think you should "make on it"

It is the price determined by comparable sales in the vicinity.

For more information and assistance with buying or selling a home in Swansboro or Hubert N C, contact me..... I can help you price your Swansboro or Hubert NC home to sell.

Christmas - Hubert N C

We just celebrated Thanksgiving a couple of weeks ago and now we are quickly approaching Christmas.

What do these holidays mean to you and what message are you sending your children and/or grandchildren?

Was Thanksgiving all about a big meal and a day of football on tv at your house? Or was it a time to to pause and give thanks for all your blessings?

It is easy to be thankful for the good things, but we also need to give thanks for

• Things we don't know - it gives us an opportunity to learn
  
  
• Difficult times - it is during these times that we grow and mature
  
  
• Limitations - provides an opportunity to improve
  
  
• Mistakes - they teach us valuable lessons

I believe a thankful heart will lead us in the right direction showing us where we need to spend our time, money and energy giving us the balance we need in our lives.

As a child I remember how the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas just dragged. It seemed more like months than days.

Now it seems we barely have time to put away the china and silver used for the Thanksgiving meal before it is time to get it out again for Christmas dinner.

It is easy to get caught up in a commercial Christmas---gifts, decorations, parties--- and forget the reason for the holiday.

Do our children understand why we celebrate Christmas? Do they think it is all about Santa and gifts or do they know the true meaning of Christmas?

I believe Christmas is a wonderful opportunity to remember and teach our children that

• The fir tree - is a symbol of HOPE--the tree stays green all year--which illustrates the hope of mankind. Its needles point heavenward, showing us where to place our hope.

• Star - The Star was the sign of fulfillment of God's promise - the birth of Jesus

• Candle - A symbol that Christ is the light of the world and it is He that vanquishes darkness.

• Wreath - Symbolizes the nature of love...... love is a continuous round of emotion and affection.

• Santa - Represents generosity and goodwill toward our fellowman.

• Gifts -"God so loved the world He gave his only begotten Son". Thanks be to God for his gift.
  

• Candy cane - It represent the shepherd's crook which rescued his sheep. A reminder that we are our brother's keeper.

• Angel - It was the angels that announced the news of the Savior's birth.
  

• Bell - The sound of the bell brought lost shop back to the shepard. The bell symbolizes guidance and return.

I believe that if we take the time to reflect on the reason for the season and what it means to us and if we are truly grateful for the gift of Christmas, our priorities will fall into place.

Our hearts will guide us as to what we need to do to have the balance we need to manage our families, work, time and friends--our lives will have balance.

I wish you and yours a Happy Holiday Season with the right balance for you and your family.

Camp Lejeune - Trees for Troops

The Christmas spirit was alive and well at Camp Lejeune Marine base yesterday.

In a joint effort the Christmas Spirit Foundation and FedEx with the assistance of the Camp Lejeune Single Marine program gave away 800 live Christmas trees at Onslow Beach to military families.

The Christmas Spirit Foundation donated the trees, FedEx transported them to Camp Lejeune and volunteers from Camp Lejeune’s Single Marine Program (including volunteers from Camp Johnson) and from U. S. Marine Corps Forces, Special Operations Command loaded the trees into the recipients' vehicles.

The Christmas Spirit Foundation is the charitable branch of the National Christmas Tree Association which donated approximately 16,000 trees this year to troops and their families around the world.

"The foundation is about enhancing the spirit of Christmas," said Pam Helmsing, executive director of the National Christmas Tree Association. "It is just a chance to say ‘thank you' to our troops, and ‘Merry Christmas."

FedEx Freight donated about 51,000 miles to get the trees to their destinations according to Jim Mowrer, service center manager for FedEx Freight in the Wilmington area.

My heart is warmed by the generosity of the Christmas Spirit Foundation, FedEx and the Camp Lejeune Marines.

Thank you for remembering our troops and their families in such a special way during the Christmas season.

The Nutcracker in Swansboro NC

The Christmas season got off to a wonderful start this past weekend when the White Oak River Dance Company, (Swansboro Dance Studio in Swansboro N C) presented The Nutcracker.

Perhaps you are not familiar with the Ballet. It is based on the story "The Nutcracker and the King of the Mice" by E.T.A. Hoffman. The story is about a young, German girl who dreams about a Nutcracker Prince and a Mouse King with seven heads.

The talented White Oak River Dance Company dancers, beautiful costumes, enchanting sets and magical, festive music provided an enchanting evening of entertainment.

I want to thank all the dancers, choreographers, set designers, costume designers, stage hands, parents and anyone who had a part in the Ballet for all they did to bring this incredible production to Swansboro, North Carolina.

Impressive, Affordable Gifts!

We are on the countdown to the holiday season and the time is going quickly. If you have not started thinking about holiday gifts for your clients, associates and friends, it is time to do so.
This is an easy, affordable, impressive and delicious gift you can make with minimal time and effort. But..........you must get started very soon.

Kahlua (Coffee Liqueur)
1 1/2 cups instant coffee granules
3 cups boiling water
6 cups sugar
1 vanilla bean (or 3 teaspoons pure vanilla)

1 fifth vodka (can be the cheap stuff, doesn't matter)

Dissolve coffee granules in boiling water, add sugar and vanilla bean (or pure vanilla). Allow to cool. Add vodka. Pour into a gallon container, seal with a cap and let stand 30 days to ripen before using*. Yield: 1/2 gallon. (I usually make 2 or 3 batches)

Pour into decorative bottles. (these can be found at Dollar Tree, WalMart or you can save wine bottles and corks to use)

Add a personal label. I like to to put one on the front and back. On the one on the back I state "delicious in after dinner coffee, over ice cream, or as replacement for coffee in any recipe" --i.e mocha butter cream frosting"

I also make Amaretto and Fruit Cordials (raspberry is my favorite). If you are interested in any of the recipes for those, let me know and I'll send them to you.

*UPDATE - I should have posted this last month so you could have made it and let it ripen for the 30 days before giving the gift. However, I see no reason why you could not go ahead and put in the decorative, sealed bottles to age. I would use vanilla, not vanilla bean if I were going to do this way and be very sure all ingredients were well mixed. I would put a "do not open before date note" on it.

DISCLAIMER: I've never done it this way but I see no reason why it would not work just as well (I'm big on trying alternate methods/ingredients, etc.)

Hubert NC - Kingsbridge on Queens Creek Neighborhood Party

I live and work in a wonderful neighborhood in Hubert NC located very near Camp Lejeune Marine Base in Jacksonville. It sits on the banks of picturesque Queens Creek and is home to some of the nicest and friendliest people you'll ever meet.

There are actually two adjoining subdivisions, Kingsbridge on Queens Creek and Kingsbridge II and a new one now under construction Kingsbridge Estates.

This past Saturday these two subdivisions joined forces and held a block party. It was a great time for neighbors to relax, catch up, eat some delicious food and enjoy each other.

The neighborhood organizers went all out. The street was blocked off, there was a tent, lots of games for the kids and food, boy was there food!

There was Eastern North Carolina barbecue (if you've never had Eastern North Carolina barbecue pork, you've missed out on a real treat!) I know about Texas, Tennessee and even other North Carolina barbecue.... but my friends believe me when I tell you Eastern North Carolina barbecue is the BEST!

The side dishes of coleslaw, potato salad, pasta salad, deviled eggs and others which I can't recall at the moment were all delicious thanks to the wonderful neighborhood cooks.

The desserts! Wow, what a marvelous array of cakes, pies, brownies and cookies there were. Who could resist? Yummy!

Some of us might have skipped the Monday morning weigh-in as a result of the party.

The kids had a blast with the dunking machine, moon bounce and Miss Priss, the clown, was there painting faces, making balloon animals and providing great entertainment for the kids. There were no bored kids at this party.

I heard many say that they hoped this would become an annual event and I agree. It was fun to hang out with the neighbors, soak up some rays,chow out and chill out.

Does this sound like like a neighborhood you would enjoy living in? It has everything you are looking.....convenience, lovely homes and home sites, great neighbors and it is affordable.

Swansboro Dance Studio, Onslow County NC

Activities for our children are very important for their health, development and socialization.

In Swansboro, North Carolina there are many different types of sports and activities available to all ages throughout the year. Many are provided through the schools, Onslow County Parks and Recreation Department and by private businesses or groups.

If you are relocating to Camp Lejeune Marine Base or New River Air Station in Jacksonville NC or anywhere in the Hubert Swansboro North Carolina area and have a child interested in dance lessons, the Swansboro Dance Studio located at 130 Leslie Lane, is an excellent choice.

(Grand Finale - May 2008 Recital)

It is owned and operated by Christy Crosswell Williams. She has been teaching local students since 1982. The staff has many years of teaching and performing experience and have studied under nationally renowed instructors.

The mission of the Swansboro Dance Studio as stated on their website:

"We believe that every child has an “inner rhythm” and at Swansboro Dance Studio we strive to help each dancer find their own rhythm. We believe that a child should be exposed to a variety of activities and encouraged to pursue those that they truly enjoy. Dance in a challenging, non-competitive atmosphere gives children, as well as adults, the opportunity to express themselves freely through music and movement. It enhances the ability to pursue individual goals and to work together as a group. It reinforces such skills as listening, counting, coordination, motor skills and musicality. Whether a child chooses to dance for many years or moves on to other interests, tapping that inner rhythm will provide life-long benefits."

To register or for more information, call (910) 326-1152 or email swandancer@ec.rr.comI can personally recommend this studio, my little one just completed her second year of ballet lessons and will be participating in the upcoming summer dance camp. It is a blast for the kids, a wonderful learning experience and excellent exercise for the body and mind. What a win/win situation.

The only way to price your home so that it is competitive and will sell is by comparing it to recent sales (no more than 90 days ago) in your area taking into consideration size, age and features.

You see, there are quite a lot of homes for sale in Hubert, Swansboro and the Onslow County NC area. Buyers expect everything to be in good repair, freshly painted and the lawn established.

I need you to understand Mr and Mrs Seller that if we overprice your home, Buyers will just move on to the next one. After-all, there is probably another about the same size, age and with pretty much the same features as yours for sale pretty close by, perhaps just down the street.

I do sympathize with you and appreciate your position and situation but if we are going to get your house sold, we must throw all these things out the window and concentrate on pricing your house to sell using the CURRENT INFORMATION AND FACTS.

If you are ready to sell, I'm ready to help you. If you are a military family relocating to another area, I can assist you in locating a professional, trusted Realtor in that area.

Many of the community children are from Camp Lejeune military families who have or have had a parent in Iraq.

Though they may not voice their questions and concerns, these children have many unanswered questions about the place their parent is or has been. This is a marvelous opportunity for them to learn more about Iraq, its people and culture.

If you are relocating to Camp Lejeune Marine Base in Jacksonville, N C or to the Onslow County area or maybe you are a resident of the Hubert, Swansboro area and you are ready to make a move, you will be looking at neighborhoods that will suit your family and life style.

Have you always dreamed of living on the water?

How would you like to wake up in the morning, look out at your bedroom window and see a graceful Great Blue Heron wading in the water and then glide away across a clear, blue sky?

How about walking out onto your dock and fishing for your dinner?

If that sounds inviting to you, a neighborhood you will want to check out is the Kingsbridge II Subdivision in Hubert, North Carolina where those dreams can come true.

Kingsbridge II Subdivision is located on Queens Creek which is a breathtaking and serene setting for the lovely homes. This is a small, intimate neighborhood with only one street. Each lot/house is either on the waterfront or across the street from the creek.

The subdivision is conveniently located approximately 10-12 minutes to the back gate of Camp Lejeune making it an ideal location for military families relocating to Camp Lejeune Marine base in Jacksonville, N C

The neighborhood is a wonderful mix of retirees, young families, empty- nesters and some singles. Here you see residents walking their dogs, pushing baby strollers and kids riding bikes.

Residents take pride in their homes, yards and gardens.

There is a keen sense of community.... neighbors look out for each other in this wonderful, little Hubert, North Carolina subdivision.
