There has never been a better time to purchase a wonderful mountain home in Cashiers, Highlands, Glenville, Sapphire or Lake Toxaway, NC. Why? The stability of homeowners in this area has historically been rock solid. There is now evidence of INstability in some areas, of financial deterioration. The evidence is shown in the upward spiral of properties that are foreclosures or short sales. As a side effect, the foreclosures have forced sales prices down somewhat to a very affordable level for most folks. Although these distressed sale properties are bad news for the people who are the former owners, they really represent opportunity for those who have money to invest. The investment can be for personal enjoyment or could be held for several years to become a great re-sale property. We must also realize that the amount of foreclosures and short sales in our beautiful mountain area is NOTHING compared to metropolitan areas hard hit by down-sizing companies and other dilemmas being experienced by our larger employers. So, be sure to ask your favorite realtor (and I hope that’s me!) about foreclosures and short sales in the Highlands/Cashiers area to find the best deals around for mountain properties!!

Great Buys in Cashiers Homes for Sale
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010Extended Home Buyers’ Tax Credit
Friday, November 20th, 2009There’s also good news for current homeowners, wishing to purchase a new or existing home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010. If those current homeowners have used their home being sold or vacated as a principal residence for five consecutive years within the last eight, they are also eligible for up to a maximum $6,500 in tax credit.
Not only is the tax credit available on single family homes, but also on other primary residences such as condos, townhomes and co-ops purchased for $800,000 or less. As long as a written binding contract to purchase is in effect on April 30, 2010, the purchaser will have until July 1, 2010 to close and still qualify for the credit. The credit does not have to be repaid if he/she occupies the home for three years or more. However, if the property is sold during the three year period, the full amount of credit will be recouped on the sale.
The above information should instill enough confidence in some of us to help us get off the fence we’ve been sitting on. The buyers’ market we’re in right now won’t last forever and neither will the enticement of the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit. Now, more than ever, is the time to consider that home you’ve wanted or needed!
Top Ranked Cashiers Homes and Land, Highlands Homes for sale, Lake Toxaway Homes Website
Wednesday, October 21st, 2009Merry Soellner’s www.cashiersncland.com website recently earned the title of Google’s
Top Ranking Real Estate Website for Sapphire NC homes and land, Glenville home for sale, Franklin NC real estate, Brevard NC land, Cashiers NC homes for sale, Highlands NC homes and land, Lake Toxaway real estate
This ranking changes up and down daily. The most solid spot seems to be Cashiers Homes and Land. Merry Soellner was delighted to see her efforts paying off for her providing responsive, professional and friendly real estate services to a growing clientele from all over the United States and the World. The coveted title of top real estate broker for the Cashiers, Highlands, Brevard, Lake Toxaway, Glenville, Franklin and Sapphire areas changes daily. Even so, Merry was pleased to see that the number of votes (or clicks) obtained from her clients and new visitors to her informative website seem to be stimulating her real estate business.
Merry Soellner recently received a major vote of confidence from her fellow realtors, having been elected to a 3-year term as a new in-coming Director for the Cashiers-Highlands Board of Realtors. Merry Soellner has the distinction of being a member of the Brevard-Asheville Board of Realtors as well, something in which few realtors in the Cashiers-Highlands-Lake Toxaway participate.
When asked why Merry seemed to be enjoying such high rankings, she said that her website traffic has increased dramatically, due to her increased showings of homes and land in the Cashiers real estate, Highlands real estate and Lake Toxaway real estate markets. She also has continued to conduct exhaustive previews for new clients for Glenville homes for sale, Sapphire homes for sale and Franklin homes for sale. “I think the fact that I really work hard, previewing as many as 20 homes in just 2 days, makes sure that I hit the mark assigned to me by my clients is part of it,” Merry said.
Merry can offer the following properties: Cashiers homes for sale, Lake Toxaway Estates homes for sale, Bald Rock, Burlingame, Catatoga, Pine Forest, Spring Forest, Highlands, Stillpoint, Trillium, and dozens of other locations. She also is a member of the Brevard and Asheville real estate board, giving her the ability to provide access to her clients to that entire section of western North Carolina.
