Here is the latest 3 bedroom home we have listed for sale in Fayetteville. It is a pretty, 3 bedroom/2 bath home close to Fort Bragg. It is located in the Woodchase neighborhood and sits on a pretty lot at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac. Here is a Google map of the location:

This home is a transitional-style home, with the main living areas on one floor and a finished bonus room over the garage. That style home is very popular in the Fayetteville area–it combines the ease and function of a ranch home with the extra space of a traditional two-story home.

But, this home is no cookie-cutter home!

Enter into a large foyer with a wood floor and you’ll be surprised at how spacious this home is! The greatroom is huge, and has a vaulted ceiling and gas fireplace. There is space in this room for several different seating areas–a place for watching TV, or reading or just gathering to chat. The room enjoys beautiful natural light through the triple-wide windows at the rear of the home.

To the left is the formal dining room. It features a wood floor and also has triple-wide windows for gorgeous natural light. Next is the kitchen. Big, bright, and very, very clean. It has ample cabinet space, a generous double wide pantry, a center island and a pretty eat-in area for more informal dining. It is the size and roominess of these spaces that sets this home apart.

The master suite is also large and includes a walk-in closet and full bath. The bath has a jetted garden tub and a separate shower. Bedroom 2 has a vaulted ceiling and an pretty arched window. It is currently used as an entertainment room because it offers such good size and light. Bedroom 3 is large enough for queen or full-sized furniture.

The bonus room is fully finished and is an excellent space for an entertainment area, an office or a work-out room.

The back yard at this home also sets it apart. It is comfortable and a great place to gather or relax. It features pretty landscaping and has a lovely patio with a fire pit and fig trees. The enclosed Jacuzzi hot tub is negotiable and can convey with a full priced offer. The home also has a secure, large storage shed in the backyard.

But, pictures are better than words, so check out the video tour of this home:

Last week, we posted a photo gallery of this home. In that post, we talked about how much pride and attention the owners of this home have shown in taking care of their home. This home is well-maintained, clean and ready for you to enjoy right away. To add to that, the owners are offering a one year home warranty.

Follow this blog for even a short period of time, and you’ll know that we believe in that old saying about real estate–location, location, location. Location is one of the biggest factors in a home’s value and whether it will appreciate and retain value over time.  Today, many home buyers list school district as a critical factor when they choose the home they want to buy. In Fayetteville, that means many buyers are looking at homes for sale in the Jack Britt School District.  It’s no wonder, Jack Britt has an excellent score card when it comes to school evaluations.

This pretty home is located in Middleton, a quiet, established neighborhood in the Jack Britt School District.  Middleton is literally right down the street from the elementary and middle schools, and a short drive to Jack Britt High School.  Here is a Google map of the location.

Location aside, Middleton is a wonderful neighborhood with moderately priced single family homes, large lots, green spaces and lots of trees.  This 3 bedroom/2.5 bath home is towards the back of the neighborhood, a quiet and peaceful location.  It’s a pretty home–two-story, large front porch, nice front yard and park-like back yard.

Before you even enter the home, you want to spend time on the wide front porch, enjoying the views of the neighborhood, sitting or relaxing in an easy chair or enjoying the porch swing.  Inside, the family room is to the right and the formal dining room is on the left.  They both have wood floors and two windows for gentle, natural lighting.  The family room runs the entire width of the home and features a gas fireplace and access to the deck on the rear of the home.  It’s a large room, with space for several sitting areas to watch a big screen TV, play, or relax with a book.

The kitchen is also large.  It has a tile floor, lots of cabinets for storage, marble tile counter-tops, and black appliances.  It also has an eat-in area with a pretty bay window that overlooks the back yard, a perfect spot for breakfast or just to relax with a cup of coffee.

The formal dining room also has wood floors, chair-rail molding and space for a full sized table and chairs for more formal dining.

The bedrooms are all upstairs and they are all carpeted.  The master suite has a pretty dormer window, a walk-in closet and a full bath with double sinks and a full-sized shower.  The other bedrooms are also large and have double-wide closets.  Bedroom 2 has a dormer window, also.

One of the most enjoyable features of this home is the peaceful, park-like back yard.  It features a deck for outside dining or relaxing and a brick paver patio for more seating areas.  There are no neighbors to the rear. This yard is comfortable, pretty and private.

Another great feature of this home is that it is priced right.  Very few homes in Middleton have sold in the last year, and there are few on the market.  It is a stable neighborhood and home values are solid.  This home is priced under market value at $175,000, making it a great buy, in a great location, with so much to offer.

Here is the photo gallery for this home with over 90 photos.  Here, you will find a video tour.  Call or text The Jumper Team @ (910) 644-0303 for more information or to schedule a showing of this pretty 3 bedroom home for sale in the Jack Britt School District.

There are many homes for sale in Fayetteville, NC right now, and buyers can be very choosy about which homes they select. Competition among homes is strong.  Here are 4 reasons a buyer should consider this 3 bedroom home for sale in Fayetteville when choosing the home they want to purchase:

• This 3 bedroom/2 bath home is a brick ranch home. It is priced at $160,000 and it has wonderful features for that price. A large, pretty, well-landscaped corner lot; a wired and finished workshop or studio that is approximately 12′ x 22′; an additional parking pad for an RV or 5th-wheel that has its own electrical hook-up; and huge, covered screened porch (approximately 16′ x 28′) that will bring the outside into your home almost as if it’s a separate room!
• This home has been very nicely updated. The formal living and dining rooms are nicely painted and carpeted. The kitchen is very clean and has tons of cabinet space for storage and a wonderful eat-in area with bay window that overlooks the screened porch and back yard. The family room is large, with space for several different seating or work areas and it features wood flooring, a fireplace and access to the screened porch, making it even larger as you open up your home to the outdoors.  The master suite also has wood flooring, with space for large bedroom furniture, and features a full bath with a water closet that includes a full-sized tile shower. The screened porch is covered and has enough space for seating and dining areas, as well as room to play.  All this in a ranch home–pretty impressive!
• Even though this home is built on a large corner lot, the lot is well-landscaped and it offers a secret garden feel to the back yard, private areas.  Fencing and plantings shelter the backyard from noise and neighbors, and the screened porch, workshop and planting beds are all accessible without any interference or lack of privacy.  A great feature, and nicely executed in this home.
• Of course, one of the keys to a home maintaining value is its location, and a great school district is important for many buyers looking to purchase a home. The Jack Britt School District is one of the most desired school districts in Fayetteville. It has seen an explosion in new construction growth, with new neighborhoods and higher prices dominating the area.  This home is located in Arran Lakes West, an established neighborhood with mature trees and landscapes and existing moderately priced homes, making it a great value for anyone looking to be in a high growth area without the sterile feel of neighborhoods dominated by fences and streets, without green spaces and privacy.

This is a wonderful home, and given today’s low interest rates, it is one of the best and most affordable purchases available in the Jack Britt School District. Visit the photo gallery and the video tour to see more.

If you are considering buying a home in Fayetteville, NC right now, you’re already pretty smart. Despite all the negative news from the news media about the national real estate market, homes for sale in Fayetteville, NC remain a good buy.

You’ve heard about homes losing value in many areas of the country, but at the end of the year when the numbers are totaled, home values in Fayetteville and the surrounding areas have increased every year over the last decade. This year looks to be similar, with home values increasing slightly or staying relatively even.  The effect of the military community on our neighborhood values is powerful as Fort Bragg continues to grow.

And, you’ve also undoubtedly seen that mortgage interest rates have fallen to new lows. Just this week, my preferred lender quoted us a rate of 3.75%. Now, that’s low by any standard!

Those are pretty good reasons to buy any home in Fayetteville, NC. But, if you are looking to purchase a modestly priced home in Fayetteville, I have some specific reasons you should include the home at 6222 Lansford Drive in your home buying search.

1. For the price, there are very few homes that are in the condition of this home. There are 155 homes for sale in Fayetteville today that are priced between $75,000 and $85,000. This home is priced at $84,000. It has been completely renovated. What’s new in this home? New heating and a/c unit, refinished hardwood floors, new tile, fresh paint throughout the interior, and brand new matching stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, including a refrigerator, range, microwave and dishwasher. And, for added protection, the homeowner is also offering a one-year home warranty with this home. You probably won’t find those features in too many other homes for sale in Fayetteville in this price range.

2. This home is in a very stable neighborhood and is close to post and shopping. The home at 6222 Lansford Drive is located in the Mayfair subdivision. Mayfair is a quiet neighborhood of modest homes. In the last 5 years, only 5 homes have sold in the neighborhood, and none have been sold since August of 2009. That’s low turn-over, and it’s a sign of a mature, stable neighborhood with homeowners who intend to keep their homes long-term. This location is also ideal for anyone who doesn’t like spending hours in their car driving back and forth. The neighborhood is located off Cliffdale Road, right across from the Cliffdale Post Office and Cliffdale Elementary School. It is only minutes to the Cross Creek Mall, restaurants and major shopping areas and it is a short drive to Fort Bragg, using either Reilly Road or the All American Expressway.

3. The mortgage payment on this home will be less than the rent at any similar home. According to Zillow, rental prices for homes in Fayetteville have increased an average of 10% over the last year. That’s not surprising; many people are choosing to rent right now.  Use this mortgage calculator and compute the payment of the loan and you’ll see that this home can be a very affordable purchase!  You will not find a home for rent in that price range that has the location and features of this one. For more detailed information about what mortgage terms are available and what the payment on a loan would be, contact your lender or send my preferred lender an email.

Right now, there are many homes for sale in Fayetteville, NC in the more modest price ranges. However, few of them will offer the location, features and value of this one. Here is a link to the photo gallery for this home and the video tour is available on our home page.

If you are looking to buy a modestly priced home that is close to post and shopping, call or text The Jumper Real Estate Team at (910) 644-0303 for more information or to schedule a showing.

It’s no surprise we got this home in the Jack Britt School District under contract in only 5 days! It’s an affordable home, in excellent condition, in one of the most popular school districts in the county. This home is an excellent choice for anyone looking to buy or invest in a home in Jack Britt.

Still, it did go under contract much faster than one would expect.  The homes in this neighborhood that sold in the last year were on the market for an average of 203 days, and they were similarly sized homes.

The difference for this home was that the sellers made sure it was at the front of the market in price and condition, and let the popularity of the location work for them.

Selling Your Home Usually Comes Down to 3 Things – Price, Condition and Location.

The sellers of this home called me to list their home just a week or 2 (talk about pressure!) before they were due to move out of the area. They are a military family and had orders and had to do something with their home. They did not want to carry a mortgage payment any longer than necessary, as they would be facing a pretty steep mortgage in the area to which they were relocating. They knew they wanted to sell or rent the home in as short a time frame as they could. So, we talked about the effect of location, price, and condition on selling a home and they did what was necessary to get their home sold.

Price – Where do You Want to be in the Range?

What's the best price?

First, these sellers priced their home to be attractive to someone looking to buy in the Jack Britt School District.  Their home is very affordable for many buyers, and it would be an ideal starter home for someone, it would also be a good home for anyone downsizing, and it would be a good investment property for someone looking to invest with an eye to the school district. In this case, we targeted a younger audience, a single or married couple with children in the home who would be most concerned about the school district their children were in.  My sellers set their price accordingly, not giving money away or leaving it on the table, but not pricing it at the high end of the range, either.

Condition – Buyers are Looking for a Reason NOT to Buy the Home

Then they worked like crazy in their last few days here to get the home in top condition to attract a buyer–fresh paint, new carpet, no damage, and everything in good working order. We brought in our team to make sure the house was clean and sparkled and staged to help highlight the features of the home and give potential buyers a feel for what the home would be like to live in. Simple touches–a sense of perspective. Finally, we brought in our lawn team to get the yard cut, bushes trimmed and keep the exterior attractive.

The #1 Rule of Real Estate – Location, Location, Location

And then, we marketed the home to highlight the location–Jack Britt, Jack Britt, Jack Britt. We made sure the school district was on all our advertising, in the MLS, and in all the syndicated sites we list homes on. There is little anyone can do about location–your home is where it is–but there is ALWAYS something you can do to highlight it if it’s a desirable location, or mitigate it if it’s not. In this case, this home is in one of the most desired school districts, in a quiet neighborhood not too distant from post or shopping, and on a corner lot on a cul-de-sac. We had location in the bank!

Here’s a video tour of the home to show you what I mean:

So, we got an offer in 4 days, and we had another buyer considering an offer, also. The negotiations were simple and now we’ll do all the hard work to get the home closed, inspections, repairs, etc. God willing, my sellers will have sold their home in a short time and the buyers will have a great home that meets their needs.

These are the ones that make me remember why I love being a Realtor®!

Well, you just knew that this home wouldn’t last on the market for long! A few days ago, we put this gorgeous home in Country Club North under contract. And why not, take a look at what I wrote just a couple of weeks ago and see why this is such a wonderful home:

…Country Club North is an executive-style neighborhood located on the north side of town, and it is only a short drive to Fort Bragg. The neighborhood features gently rolling hills, wide streets with bike lanes and gorgeous, mature landscapes.

And, what a dramatic space!

From the soaring ceilings in the foyer and greatroom, the gleaming wood floors, new paint and carpet, cathedral ceiling in the master suite, formal dining room, brand new stainless steel appliances, large eat-in area and the quiet, peaceful back yard, this home is just so impressive.

Can’t you picture how you would decorate or furnish this home?…

The market in Country Club North has been tough over the last year or so, with an average days-on-market of over 100 days. But if a home is marketed properly, priced aggressively and in excellent condition it can sell in a reasonable time frame. We got this one sold in 19 days.
