Cleaning the House for the Holidays

We all know what's it like when the holiday season rolls around. We are running rampant with our to-do list after to-do list. For some of us, Christmas means traveling. Maybe you have to split up your time between your family and your husband's family. Or maybe you've gotta go see your mom and dad, but they happen to be in different states. 

But for some of us, there's the dreaded time when you have to clean your house for the holidays. If you are typically the "host," then you know what that means: it's time to get down and dirty with the cleaning. From decorating the tree if you haven't already to going that extra mile to make sure everything is spick and span, you're probably losing your absolute mind trying to make sure everything's perfect...

This is why were are sure that this video that we got a laugh out of is most likely relatable in some way, shape, or form. Even if it's not you, or one of your family members, we all have someone that we know that just goes a little bit on the extreme side. ;) 

Is it time for a major upgrade?

Are you thinking that you don't have enough room as you go through your cleaning list? Do you need more space to host your friends and family? We have plenty of options on the market that just might be more suitable for your family's needs, whether you are looking for a more versatile and spacious kitchen or a more expansive living room or dining room area. Feel free to reach out to one of our top real estate agents. Give us all the details--we want to know how we can help you!

Unique Christmas Gifts

Are you stumped with what to get your spouse or even your friends? So many times we go to the mall or gift shops around and we find ourselves getting our partner another shirt or pair of jeans, or even a candle, year after year? Are you tired of getting the same gifts year after year? And what do you get someone that has everything?  Recently there was a great article about Cape Fear Games in Wilmington NC and board games reviews like The Godfather and Star Wars Rebellion.  If you didn't see that article, here's a link, click here.

Unique Christmas Gifts for Her and/or Him [video]

Regina from Regina Drury Real Estate Group shares in this video some more great unique gift ideas for her and unique gift ideas for him that you wouldn't normally think about.  Your family and spouse will love these gift ideas.

Think Outside of The Box

The best gifts don't have to come from a big box store or Amazon.

Has your loved one been looking for new things to do? Maybe they are very intellectually curious or maybe they just want to learn a new life skill. Contribute to their New Year's resolutions by offering a gift that nobody else will think about, like classes! And no, we're not talking about regular college classes. Why not give your partner the gift of skills classes!  Or maybe a special event in town or maybe even a subscription box. 

List of Unique Gift Ideas for Her and Unique Gift Ideas for Him

1. Photography Class
2. Cooking Class
3. Dance Class
4. Pottery Class
5. A Night with James Gregory at Thalian Hall
6. Season Pass to Jungle Rapids
7. The Battlehouse Gift Card or Tickets
8. A Subsription Box
9. A Gift of a Down Payment to Buy a House 

1. Photography Classes

Maybe the person you are buying for has always wanted to take photography classes and you've seen how passionate they are about taking the right photo. 

• Why not buy them a mentoring session with The Shoot Space? Offering several different package options for whatever your preference is and crash course sessions, The Shoot Space is the perfect option for buying a gift for your future photographer friend.

2. Cooking Classes

Do you have a friend who loves cooking? Does she take her time in the kitchen, making sure she only puts the best plates on the table? There's always something new to learn, which is why we are suggesting buying a membership for your friend to the Cape Fear Food & Wine Club. In order to reserve any classes with them that are held at The Seasoned Gourmet, you have to be a member, so why not buy an annual membership for your friend to go ahead and get the first step out of the way? This is also on the cheaper side of a gift option if you're not looking to spend too much money. Specialty classes are offered regularly.

The Seasoned Gourmet even has kid camps and cooking classes for kids for the Junior Chef in the family! Check out their website for more information by clicking here. 

3. Dance Classes 

Give the gift of dance! Dance is a great stress reliever, mood enhancer, and is also great exercise. Social dancing has even be said to increase confidence and be good for your memory. So why not give the gift of Latin dancing! 

Wilmington has a stellar and extremely welcoming Latin dancing community in town with plenty of opportunities to dance, not only in a studio setting but also in a social setting. 

If you have a friend or a loved one who loves to dance but has never decided to spend the money on classes, why not buy the gift of a class package? 

Wilmington Latin Dance is one of the more well-known Latin dance companies in town and is offering killer packages to get your friend moving their feet in no time. Maybe you could even join them. Wilmington Latin Dance also offers packages for couples! 

Check out their website for more information by clicking here. 

4. Pottery Classes

Does your friend enjoy creating and being artistic? Do they always talk about wanting to learn how to do pottery? Help them get started by buying them an 8-week class session where they learn how to throw pottery.

Orange Street Pottery is a studio in town that has skilled instructors in town who have provided a variety of class times for all kinds of various schedules. Buy a unique Christmas gift for him or a unique Christmas gift for her and your friend or loved one could be learning how to craft up amazing pottery in no time.  Check out their website by clicking here.

5. A night with James Gregory at Thalian Hall 

Maybe you both need a night out. Nothing says "night out" like spending an evening at Wilmington's premier theater, Thalian Hall, buying tickets to see the comedian, James Gregory. He is in town for one night only on January 27, 2018 at 7:30 pm, so think fast. This would make the perfect stocking stuffer! Buy your tickets when you click here. 

6. Season Pass to Jungle Rapids

Does your friend love water parks? Consider buying them a season pass to Jungle Rapids. For $120, your loved one could be hitting up the water park every day in the summer time and soaking up the sun. For more information and to purchase your season pass to Jungle Rapids, click here. 

If you buy your ticket now, it will also give them free mini-golf every week and free go-cart rides every week until the summer season begins.

2. Star Wars Rebellion
3. Ticket to Ride
4. Splendor
5. Stone Age

The Godfather Corleone's Empire

Watch out or you may find your family members swimming in the East River.  LOL, this game is a lot of fun and a challenge.  This is a quick game played with cards, pawn figures, and a board game.  No knowledge about The Godfather movie is necessary.  Age is 14+ and can be played with 2-5 players.  

Star Wars Rebellion

Which side will you play on, will you be the Rebellion or the Empire.  As the Empire it's your mission to find the Rebel base.  No need to watch the Star Wars movies to play this game but seriously who hasn't seen the Star Wars movies?  Age is 14+ and 2-4 player game.  

Ticket to Ride

Choo choo!  Who doesn't love a great train game.  This board game is available at Cape Fear Games to play for Free and if you love it then you'll be excited to see that they have a few versions available to purchase.  The store is layed back no pressure so stop in and play it a few times if you like before deciding you love it so much that you want to buy it to bring it home to play.  Game Ages 10+ and 2-5 player game.

Splendor

I love this game!  Splendor is a game about gathering jems and turning them in to purchase cards with points and jems.  A game for gathering Emeralds, Rubies, diamonds, etc of course I love this game!  Splendor can be purchased at Cape Fear Games and is for Ages 10+ and 2-4 players.  While at the store the other day I noticed it was available on the game pile for free game play so stop in, bring a friend or family, and play at the game store.

Stone Age

Stone Age is about gathering resources like food, wood, stone, etc.  You gather resources to turn them in for points but watch out and make sure you gather food to feed them.  This game is for Ages 13+ for 2-4 players.

Fun Game Nights

Games galore!  There's so many great games for people of all ages.  Are you into War Games, Strategy Games (The Godfather,) Role Play Games (Star Wars Rebellion), Miniature Games, Puzzle Games (Splendor), Resource Games (Stone Age), Card Games or Deck Builders.

Winter Holiday Season is the Perfect Time to Sell a House

Is the Winter Holiday Season a good time to sell a house?  Many sellers feel that the Spring is the best time to place their home on the market for sale.  However, the fall and winter have their advantages.  Here are ten reasons to sell now.

1. Only Serious Buyers are Out

2. Time Off

3. Out of State Buyers

4. There is Far Less Competition

5. Holiday Decorations Make a Home Look their Best

6. Tax Advantages or Tax Breaks

7. The Process will be Quicker

8. You can Delay Closing for After the Holidays

9. There Never will be a Better Time to Move Up

10. It's Time to Move on with Your Life

Only Serious Buyers are Out

At this time of year, only those purchasers who are serious about buying a home will be in the marketplace.  You and your family will not be bothered and inconvenienced by mere "lookers".  The "lookers" are at the mall or online doing their holiday shopping.

Time Off

Some Buyers find the end of year a convenient time to look for a homes for sale because of the extra time off they get for Holidays and unused vacation time.  Most home search is done online and the extra time off gives them more time to do their online home search.  Then seeing the homes decorated give them a feeling of home.

Out of State Buyers

Wilmington NC Real Estate, Leland NC Real Estate, Hampstead NC Real Estate, Topsail Beach Real Estate, Wrightsville Beach NC Real Estate, Carolina Beach NC Real Estate, and the entire Southeast NC Real Estate is on the hot sheet with out of state buyers.  The secret is out that Homes For Sale in Wilmington NC are in high demand by Out of State Buyers looking to move to our beautiful Coastal area.  The next time you go to the mall, or drive on College Road or Market Street, take a look at all the license plates from New York, New Jersey, Virginia, and yes, even Florida!  Wilmington NC Real Estate is popular with Out of State Buyers.  So when do you think these buyers are looking for a house.  They are looking all year!   "Snow Birds" (those who come here in the winter to look for a home) come here during the Holiday Season to find a home so they can avoid going back to the cold winters up North.  Many of them visit their friends and family during the Holidays and find it's the perfect time to search for their home. 

There is Far Less Competition

Housing supply always shrinks dramatically at this time of the year.  We had a very strong selling season this past Fall so our available homes is significantly more reduced than normal.  That means the choices for buyers will be very limited this Holiday season and in January.  Don't wait until the Spring when all the other potential sellers in your market will put their homes up for sale.

Holiday Decorations Make a Home Look the Best

Emotions play a big part when people choose their next home.  People pay thousands of dollars to stage their home to make it feel and look just right.  Selling a home during the Holidays gives an easy way to play up the warm appealing sense of home.  Don't overdo it but go ahead, put up your Christmas tree, holiday decorations, turn on the fireplace, and let that cookie smell throughout the home appeal to the buyers senses. 

Tax Advantages or Tax Breaks

Some buyers will be racing to find a new home before the end of the year because of the tax advantages that they will receive.  Some may be purchasing investment property and be looking to take advantage of depreciation write offs or maybe needs to complete a 1031 exchange.  

The Process will be Quicker

One of the biggest challenges for some people is the length of time from when it goes under contract to closing.  Banks have been inundated with both purchases and refinancing loan requests.  Both of these will slow in the Winter, cutting timelines and the frustrations these delays cause both buyers and sellers.

You Can Delay Closing for After the Holidays

Just because the closing can happen faster doesn't mean you have to.  Having your house under contract with a buyer and the loan complete in advance will give you peace of mind while you wait on the closing date that you prefer.  You could enjoy the Holidays and not even think about packing until the New Year.  Putting your house on the market now gives you the advantage of selling when there is less competition and yet the convenience of choosing your moving date.

There Never will be a Better Time to Move Up

If you are moving up to a larger, more expensive home, consider doing it now.  Prices are projected to appreciate significantly more.  If you are moving to a higher priced home, it will wind-up costing you more in raw dollars (both in down payment and mortgage payment) if you wait.  Plus there's been a lot of talk that interest rates are expected to go up.

It's Time to Move On with your Life

Look at the reason you decided in the first place and decide whether it is worth waiting.  The time has come for you and your family to move on and start living the life you desire.  That is what is truly important.

Black Friday Deals

It's Black Friday and you're looking for all of the sales that you can get while you are doing your annual Christmas shopping. Perhaps you were one of the ones who went shopping last night or maybe you are just waiting until now to get a start when the crowds have died down. Whatever scenario you find yourself in, maybe your true desire is to own your own home. Rather than investing in something temporary, like that Black Friday deal, or buying something from that yard sale up the street, why not invest in a new home?

You Still Have Time 

If you get in contact with us in the next week, we can have you well on your way to closing on your new home before Christmas time. We know it sounds crazy, but it's not far from your reach. Typically closing on a house takes about 30 days (or longer) to complete, but with the right mindset and the right real estate agent helping you, it is completely possible. It's just super important to get the ball rolling immediately to get it done within the time that you are hoping for.

But what about the mortgage?

If you buy your home in December, your first mortgage statement won't even come in until February of 2018. This way, you still have enough time to prepare for making your first payment on your new home. 

Don't buy expendables, buy a new house

Buying a house is no easy decision and we know it, but we can help you take that next step--all before Christmas rolls around. If you are interested in any house on the market, please reach out to us and schedule a showing for it. The sooner you get in contact with us, the sooner we can get all the details in motion to get you well on your way to buying your new home.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's Thanksgiving Day--it's a day of football, the Macy's Parade, family fun, and of course, food.  Speaking of food, here's a funny turkey video we thought you'd love.

5 Reasons to Give Thanks This Holiday Season

1. It's easy and doesn't require a lot of thought, nor does it take up a lot of time.

2. When you show your appreciation towards your loved ones, it uplifts them and makes them feel good.

3. Showing appreciation and giving words of affirmation lifts you up as well because you are acknowledging positivity in your life.

4. It's respectful and shows that you are paying attention to those around you.

5. Practicing thankfulness increases the value of your life. 

As you are practicing thankfulness, you are probably also thinking about all the family that is about to storm into your house, though. ;) We know--we've been there.

Lots to Do on Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving Day, after all, turns out to be a day full of early mornings in the kitchen for all the family cooks. These mornings are spent getting all of the recipes together and making sure you are timing everything out just perfectly before the family comes. Not only are you cooking, you are also preparing the rest of the house for everyone to arrive, making sure all the rooms are spotless and the table is set nicely, with the Thanksgiving centerpiece set on the table to make it all complete. 

Maybe you have your extended family coming for a full-on feast or maybe it's just a nice intimate meal spent with your close family. Either way, you've got a lot to do. That turkey is not going to cook itself, after all.  

Are you Thinking Your Kitchen Isn't Big Enough

The kitchen is starting to crowd around you a little bit. As the years go by, more and more family members keep coming, making it harder for your kitchen to meet all of the holiday demands--at least in a timely manner.

If realizing that your kitchen isn't necessarily big enough to host that many people, you also realize that your dining room is just not cutting it either. It's kind of hard to fit all of your family in the dining room also, forcing extra tables to be set up throughout the house to make sure everybody has a seat. You might even have to have some family members sitting on the couch.

If this is you, then maybe it's time to consider upgrading! We have plenty of options on the market that just might be more suitable for your family's needs, whether you are looking for a more versatile and spacious kitchen or a more expansive living room or dining room area. Feel free to reach out to one of our top real estate agents. Give us all the details--we want to know how we can help you!

Fortunately, Wilmington is a very festive city and always offers plenty of options for things to do to add a little sugar and spice to your celebrations.
