The Front Porch

September 16, 2008

After a week of HOT humid weather, a much welcome northeaster has blown in, dropping temperatures and bringing some rain.
It’s a quiet afternoon in Marshes Light, perfect for sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch with a good book or magazine – I was just looking at the Paula Deen’s magazine, trying to find inspiration for dinner tonight. Shrimp & Grits or Linguine with Clam Sauce? Hmmm…
This weather just feels good, bringing a change of seasons and my favorite time of year on the Outer Banks.

What would prompt you to buy in today’s market?

September 7, 2008

I’ve been following some blogs lately and this question was posed at [http://www.AtHome@HouseHuntNews.com]. There were several choices listed including: lower interest rates, better neighborhood, finding a good deal, growing family, relocation, etc.

Marshes Light is such a unique community located along the water in an historic town in a resort area – Roanoke Sound, Manteo, and the Outer Banks, respectively. Folks have been coming to the Outer Banks for years and usually visit Manteo at least once during their visit here – that’s when they discover the laid-back charm and quieter lifestyle found on Roanoke Island and a relaxing break from the hustle bustle traffic on the beach.

So, join the discussion and post a comment. What would prompt you to buy in Marshes Light in today’s market?

Is it the lifestyle (boating, marina, shopping, cultural events)? Is it relocation (permanent or second home or retirement)? Is it the area (less than an day’s drive from family and friends in the northeast, proximity to the ocean and sound)?
