Raleigh Residential Real Estate – In selecting a Raleigh, NC REALTOR® for Selling or Buying a Home in Raleigh, North Carolina Area – Knowledge of the latest technology is important.

Did you know that according to statistics from the National Association of Realtors, the use of the Internet to search for a home has risen dramatically over time, increasing from only 2 percent of buyers in 1995 to 77 percent in 2005?

This National Association of Realtors survey (released earlier this year) shows 81 percent of buyers who use the Internet to search for a home purchase through a real estate agent, while 63 percent of non-Internet users buy through an agent; non-Internet users are more likely to purchase directly from a builder or an owner they knew in advance of the transaction.

“Buyers who use the Internet in searching for a home are more likely to use a real estate agent than non-Internet users, and consumers rely on professionals to provide context, negotiate the transaction and help with the paperwork,” said Stevens, senior vice president of NRT Inc.

The Poling Team utilizes the latest technologies to help our clients buy or sell homes in the Raleigh, NC area.

If you are looking to buy a home, we can set up an automated home search that will notify you of homes as they come on the market, many times even before other real estate agents see them. We are happy to do this free of charge and without any obligation. Just drop Art an email and let us know what is important to you in your new home.

Raleigh Home sellers need a real estate agent who utilizes the latest internet technologies especially in the current residential real estate market. This is why we build a website for each of our listings as well as producing virtual tours and  podcasts that we post on multiple websites.

Give us a call toll free (888) 221-5940 if you are interested in buying or selling a Raleigh, NC home. You deserve our high level of personalized service.

Tomorrow is the re-opening of Fayetteville Street in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina.

For 30 years Fayetteville Street had been a pedestrian mall with tree lined walkways. In an effort to increase appreciation for downtown Raleigh, the city has spent about $10 million over the past 18 months on this conversion. This is in addition to other development which includes a new convention center, a Marriott hotel, condos and new restaurants and shops.

Tomorrow is the big celebration with events beginning at 6:14 AM. For more information on the downtown Raleigh project and the events of the day, visit: Go Downtown Raleigh

What’s Happening in the Condo Market in Downtown Raleigh, North Carolina?

The News and Observer is reporting today that the median condo price in downtown Raleigh has risen 47.2 % over the last two years. They report that the median sales price (meaning 50% of the homes sold for more and 50% sold for less) for condos in 2006 has been $343,000. This is up from the median condo price in 2004 of $233,000. These numbers were taken from the Wake County Revenue Department records.

I just did a quick check in the Triangle Multiple Listing Service (TMLS) for the downtown Raleigh zip code 27601 and found similar results. The average price of a condo in the zip code since January 1, 2006 is $327,031 as of today.

There is some good news coming for those with more limited incomes. One developer is planning 170 smaller and less expensive units that will have pricing starting in the low $200,000’s.
