A Trip to Hendersonville NC

I recently took a trip to Hendersonville North Carolina (within a two hour drive of Greenville South Carolina) for some outdoor activities including hiking and photography. I am definitely not an accomplished photographer -- If I take any great shots, I give all credit to my camera.   I simply point.....aim.....and.....click.:-)

There are some wonderful campgrounds and hiking trails surrounding Hendersonville to enjoy. The above photo was taken off one of these trails just a few miles outside of town. Hendersonville's downtown has a wonderful small town feel with lots of local shops and restaurants to visit and explore. A trip to Hendersonville can make for a great weekend getaway! Jonathan

Waterfall in North Greenville County

Here is a beautiful and pristine waterfall located just off North Barton Road and Hwy 101 in Greenville County. The stream continues to drop off another 50-75 feet after this waterfall producing other scenic falls. Many of these local waterfalls go unnoticed by the public. I would have never known of this one's existence had I not visited a property listing just across the road.

Greenville SC Real Estate Update

Good news for the fourth quarter?

Well folks I do have two great pieces of good news to report for the Greenville South Carolina Real Estate Markets:

One, the showing activity, number of offers, and general real estate activity is definitely up for the Open House Realty offices thus far for the fourth quarter. We will not have November's total results and numbers for a few days but most Realtors I have spoken with are having a good fourth quarter and expect the momentum to carry into 2008.

Again Greenville Real Estate has bucked the nation trend and is having a fairly strong 2007 year in terms of sales and home appreciation. 2008 could definitely pick up also  generally speaking  with the mortgage ballouts…

A US Treasury Mortgage Bailout Could be Near

Greenville South Carolina Real Estate

Greenville Events Blog

In an effort to stave off more foreclosures and mounting credit concerns, the US Treasury is spearheading an effort to fix or freeze certain adjustable rate mortgages from anywhere between five and ten years before they reset higher.  The Treasury Department is hoping to prevent another wave of foreclosures that could come as may of these adjustable rate mortgages reset in the near future.  

Representatives, law makers, and industry regulators are still working on just which home owners will qualify.  Their efforts are aimed at stopping the housing slump that could eventually drag the US economy down with it. Hopefully the bailout will be…
