Maybe you should talk to a professional, or maybe more than one. Septic tanks manage themselves. Until 20 years ago, all of my 3 homes (until 20 years ago) had septic tank with drain fields. You NEVER should have to have your septic tank emptied. It’s a process. The bacteria manages everything. It never gets full, UNLESS you develop problems with you drain field. This can happen by planting or allowing growth from trees or shrubs. OR it can happen because it was inadequately sized. The soil has to be analyzed by the authorities and sized appropriately. It’s not a big deal.

I’ve talked to many different septic professionals in my line of business. There are several different opinions on this issue. It just depends who you talk to.

since the Realtor changes... have you found that sellers are still offering to pay the buyers agents cost, or not? (for the $800k+ market).. Curious.
@EllenPitts 19 күн бұрын
Absolutely! It’s pretty much the same as it’s always been… Probably because in North Carolina it was never a requirement for sellers to pay the buyers agent so it’s been voluntary all along. In some states sellers were required to pay a buyers agent fee if they listed in the MLS.

Marinate on this and work it into future discussions about home prices. A neighborhood has 10 homes each priced at $100k and they are 20 years old. A new street of homes is built that now shares the backyard of some of the 10 home neighborhood. Each new home is priced at 200k and 20 of them are built and sold. Now all the 10 homes are put up for sale at 180k. Bought, renovated and flipped for 220k each. Think about that in terms of economics and work it into a discussion about what's going on with home prices. On a side note... deregulation can make cheaper (tofu dreg) homes but will they be priced that way or will the builder take the money and run.

The residential market needs to reset/ crash. It is artificially inflated because many households are holding onto homes with 30 year loans at 2 percent. There is no home movement and openings for the younger generation to buy their own residential homes because prices are artificially high.

The situation is so bad that in some parts of Cary and Raleigh luxury apartments are offering 2-3 months off rent. -According to Zillow which is unrelaible, in the last 7 days, properties sold in Holy Spring, Cary, Raleigh, Durham, Garner, Fuquay, Chapel Hil, Clayton and surrounding territories are only 200 and properties coming on the market for sale are 450". Miss Ellen there is a huge scam going on in Raleigh real estate for sometime and media houses are involve. Public representatives during the meeting at the Wake County Commons Building regarding property taxes were concerned that the property valuation was false and supported by the social media trend. Otherwise, with some exceptions, it is no longer possible to sell a house worth 257,000 (2020) for 391,000 (2024). They added that consumer price inflation in the United States had increased by 21.75% from January 2020 to that month, even lumber prices is pre covid levels, so the actual valuation should not be beyond that, meaning that the actual price of a house of 257,000 (2020) in Wake County at this time does not exceed 310,000, excluding other fees and taxes.

Data from apps is not regulated and can be represented in different ways depending on your likings. Correlating data from realtor apps with government agencies figures to draw a conclusions is a wrong formula. Actually the situation is really bad and I mean really really bad. People and investors still holding properties hoping to get their emotional price, but the interest and taxes they are paying on the properties are gradually digging a deeper hole for them. Individuals and investors who own properties have good holding power, anticipate soft landing and correction upto 30% out of which 10% already occurred and 20 to go. Thanks.

Not to be rude or anything, but the fact that you made an entire 17:29 video basically bashing && down-playing the pros of Texas and trying to hype up North Carolina tells me everything I need to know. Sorry, sweetie, but North Carolina isn’t exactly the Ideal destination most tourists would think of when planning their vacation. On the other hand, Texas gets over 122.4 million tourists every year, from all over the world. And honestly, before watching this video, I couldn’t even name a major city in North Carolina-it’s just North Carolina to me. Meanwhile, Texas has at least five major cities that are globally recognized. Speaking of which , does North Carolina even have any Landmarks? Because when I think of landmarks, I think Statue of Liberty in New York, the Golden Gate Bridge and Hollywood Sign in California, Navy Pier and The Bean in Chicago, and then-of course-Texas, with iconic spots like NASA, the San Jacinto Monument, the Gerald D. Hines Waterwall, the Alamo, Dealey Plaza, the River Walk,Pleasure Pier, Kemah Boardwalk… need I go on? I’ve never even heard of a landmark in North Carolina. Maybe you can enlighten me on that one. (LOL) And sure, North Carolina has some nice green areas and mountains, though calling them “mountains” might be a stretch. They look more like hills compared to the stunning Guadalupe Mountains. But let’s be real-Texas is way prettier. I’m sure you wouldn’t know that though, given that after a year in the state, you’d barely scratch the surface of what this vast, gorgeous place has to offer.

What do you think of the Raleigh/Cary area for plant based eaters? I see they have an HMart and Whole Foods.

In the triangle there are not as many jobs, as compared to say one of the bigger clusters in texas or Floria. Most of the people who gobbled up homes in the last 3-4 years are remote workers. That is not going to fly anymore, with several employers demanding folks be in office. Raleigh job market sustain cannot people looking to move out of their current jobs - lest they have to relocate. So the demand data is counter intuitive to me. It might again be Black Rock, State Street and other wall Street profiteers that are buying up here.
