Two of our dearest friends in the real estate business, Gene and Bobbie Anderson, have decided to retire. Over the past eight years, they have been our mentors, our colleagues, and most importantly, our friends. One of the columns in Gene's monthly newsletter was a comprehensive snapshot of market conditions. While Kathy does the layout, design and nearly all the writing for our Living on Topsail Time newsletter, market stats are left to me. Gene was a good teacher and we think that continuing to offer this feature in our newsletter will provide our clients and friends with a realistic picture of what is happening, especially during these challenging times.
Right now, even though we are experiencing less than optimal market conditions, we are still above the numbers for last year. Sharing our knowledge of local conditions - the closed sales for 2007 and 2008 both on and off the island - are eye opening for both buyers and our listing clients.
So, we will continue to provide these statistics, carrying on a tradition started by Gene and Bobbie Anderson and relied upon by bankers, buyers, sellers and our own team, for the clearest picture possible.

Living on Topsail time can be a lot of fun I bet. Good luck with the new newsletter ... Great weather, great beaches and great sun!!
Thanks for the cheer, Kathy! We appreciate it.
