Nice video! Love the driving and in person perspective!

[@EllenPitts]

So glad you enjoyed it!!

[@m2hansen]

Love the video. Please do more like this one.

[@EllenPitts]

Glad you liked it!! It was fun to make so I think we will do a few more!!

[@gordonkiker4056]

Thank you for producing this video with your trademark deep-dive into all the stats and inside info that we all love your videos for. I hope you can continue to produce content like this. There is a contingent of us that would rather be outside the actual Raleigh sphere somewhat. The hobby-farm type properties are very much of interest. You would love riding a Harley if you gave it a try.

[@EllenPitts]

Glad you’re enjoying it!! Looking forward to chatting this afternoon!

[@nancyriley2439]

Love your videos! They’re so informative. We were considering retiring in the mountains surrounding Asheville, but the hippie vibe and lack of good medical care have us looking to Raleigh and the surrounding area.

[@EllenPitts]

Thank you so much!! Yeah downtown Asheville smells like pot. 😃 if you’re not a hippie it maybe isn’t a great fit! Feel free to send me an email and we can get something on the calendar to chat about your move. I’m glad to help! [e-mail]

[@ashutosh31071985]

Great work Guys !!!

[@EllenPitts]

Thank you!!

[@williambaldridge5359]

Awesome video! The scenery was stunning. Can you do a video in Hillsboruogh? That would be awesome!

[@EllenPitts]

Thank you!!! I did one a few years ago. It’ll give you a lot of information and views of the area….plus you’ll get to see how hokey my videos were 3 years ago! Lol kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2TFZZVsedt-rq8si=d2RsQOmFJ6ofbkXs

[@user-nb3qd6wx2q]

I love this video, please make more

[@EllenPitts]

❤️❤️

[@lesliecole9101]

Great video!! Love seeing the actual towns and developments from the “in person” perspective. Agree…. much better than Google Maps street view!

[@EllenPitts]

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!

[@Classiqmusic910]

I absolutely love these types of videos....I love this so much as someone who loves to ride around on a sunny day

[@EllenPitts]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@ghaywoood5]

Bought a house in Garner this year but more towards the boarder of Raleigh. Would love to see you guys do one of these in Garner/Southeast of Raleigh!

[@EllenPitts]

I’ll see what I can do!!

[@joanym63]

Hello, I started to follow you, and I love all the videos and information. My sister and I plan to go to North Carolina at the end of March for two weeks for the first time. We have plans to buy a place and move there in October or November 2024

[@EllenPitts]

I’d be glad to talk with you before your trip to help make it more productive for you! Feel free to schedule a call with me. You can access my calendar here for either a phone call or a video call: www.harmonyrealtytriangle.com/contact-harmony/

[@Carriesue1982]

We are moving from NH and finding unrestricted land near Raleigh has been tough! I have ducks and geese plus a rooster. We found something in Willow Springs near Angier but other than that, haven’t found much of anything in these areas. The market is pretty tough right now

[@EllenPitts]

It’s definitely a tough market!! Very competitive. Have you looked at my hobby farm search on my website? www.harmonyrealtytriangle.com/triangle-farms-hobby-farms/

[@FaeDruid]

There are ton of real estate agents on KZbin, but none of them are as good as Ellen. These videos are always chock full of useful analysis. If I was moving to Raleigh, I would call Ellen in a second.

[@EllenPitts]

What an incredibly kind thing to say!! Thank you so much!

[@bethhenderson5373]

Now I need to know the name of that antique shop in Sanford that you mentioned 😅

[@EllenPitts]

It’s the Sanford antique mall!! You’ll be there like 5 hours…it goes on forever!! 😅sanfordantiquemall.com/

[@marycollins8215]

Very indepth and I hope prospective buyers will check out your services.

[@c.esweets6658]

l live in Charlotte, NC if you think Raleigh's crowed WOW I do get it's the nearest city but better than Queen City Charlotte I enjoyed visiting there last month

[@dmarsh1990]

How do you feel about Fuquay? I read your article comparing it to Cary - does that all hold true still? I also couldn’t find any information on the new Target that you mentioned in your article. Looks like Porter Farms area on TenTen is going to be a booming area too by Costco. Intrigued about it

[@EllenPitts]

I absolutely love Fuquay. I think it's a great town with so much character! I lived in Holly Springs, just 10 minutes from Fuquay so I'm there frequently. And yes, I still think everything in that video holds true... The Target is supposed to be in the Gold Leaf Crossing development, which is still in the works. I'm not sure when it will all be completed and I'm not currently aware of any changes at this point. Here is a link to the town progress on that development. www.fuquay-varina.org/1397/Gold-Leaf-Crossing

[@dmarsh1990]

@@EllenPitts that’s amazing! Thanks for the swift reply. How did you find out what stores were going there? I see the sign every day I drive by it but can’t find any information online

[@EllenPitts]

@@dmarsh1990 I called the town! And actually it's been awhile since that call but I feel like the Target was "unconfirmed." :) We shall see what happens!

[@m2hansen]

Where's the best place to live in Raleigh area if you're gluten free?

[@EllenPitts]

Timothy and I are both gluten free and so are two of our kids! I think there are a lot of options throughout the Triangle. Personally we live in Holly Springs and there are two dedicated gluten free restaurants, which is amazing for a small town. Ferawyns is a gluten free bakery and cafe. And Lovegrass is a gluten free breakfast place. They have crepes, and waffles…that kind of thing. There are lots of other options…many places that just lend themselves to gluten free. Some good Indian spots, Thai and Mediterranean… we go into Fuquay or Cary for some of these but being close to both towns is really helpful. So within 15 minutes you can be at tons of restaurants with gluten free options. Our local grocery stores carry everything you need gluten free. I would honestly say the whole area is pretty friendly though. There is a bakery, JPs, in Benson, that stocks a lot of the local stores with anything you can imagine throughout the region. They also make gluten free meals but I think you have to pick those up from their store in Benson. But they make everything from tiramisu to biscuits to challah to carrot cake. You name it they have it. And it’s distributed in many grocery stores. Let me know if you have specific questions! Glad to help and feel free to schedule a call if you want! There’s a link to my calendar on my website contact page.

Love this video! Thank you for doing all this, your social media/youtube videos are my best source of information for moving to NC!

Show us the car ... Miata??

[@s.j.5850]

Ok Ellen, what's the scoop with older non-subdivision homes in a area like Apex that I live in? Why don't I see those types of homes on sites such as Zillow, Realtor, etc. (for sale)? Are they just passed on to the adult children instead of sold on the open market?

[@EllenPitts]

Just looking at some quick data, we tend to average 40-50 non-subdivision homes per year in Apex. These are all listed in the MLS. There may be properties that sell outside the mls but I don’t have access to that data. My thought is that many non-HOA homes are on larger peices of land and are possibly being sold to builders commercially rather than marketed to residential buyers. You might like this list of non-subdivisions homes on my website: www.harmonyrealtytriangle.com/triangle-mls-search/search-property-types/farms-homesteads-sale/

[@s.j.5850]

That makes a lot of sense. I will check out your website for those listings. Thank you Ellen. Your videos are very informative & I always learn something new from each one.@@EllenPitts

[@tccarter5912]

I like this video. I live in Sanford.

[@EllenPitts]

I love Sanford! Have you been to that antique store?

[@tccarter5912]

If it’s the Sanford antique mall on Moore St. yes I have. It’s a neat shop.

I live in Colorado and I would love to retire in North Carolina. I love your channel and all of your content. What are your thoughts on the area around Asheville?

[@EllenPitts]

Health care isn’t fantastic in Asheville. Also it’s gotten quite an increase in crime over the last few years. There are some super cute small towns outside of Asheville, though. And I’m so glad you’re enjoying the content!!

[@jarvisstradford7211]

Did you hear about Disney going to be a 4000 home near Pittsboro North Carolina

[@EllenPitts]

I did!! Sounds incredible!
