Now that's a big ship!

 --Did you hear this great news amongst all of the Covid and election hysteria? North Carolina ranks #1....2020

--Winston-Salem makes another national list...debuts for the first time ever!  One of the...

--Recently the Piedmont Triad Partnership held its annual "State of the Region".  I enjoyed representing #BCA for this meeting.  There was some great information, data, economic development opportunities and other discussions.  There is a ton of data and information about our region in this presentation that was given but my biggest take away is how well we are positioned against competitor regions like Charleston, SC, Greenville, SC, Richmond, VA, Chattanooga, TN, Huntsville, AL, and Savannah, GA among others.  Our region is outperforming them and likely to continue which means continued jobs, business and population growth, all of which bode well for the real estate industry and your property values.  Great news for the Triad!

--The aforementioned report about our Triad region also shares data on how Covid has changed society and working from home is now a must.  This is an interesting discussion and could have serious consequences to commercial real estate.  But do companies only want their employees to work from home or will we see a hybrid model?  How many years will this trend last? Are at-home office spaces are important in a real estate sell?  If you are wondering how to leverage your home office or create one for improvement marketability and turn it into money, here are some tips on doing just that!  They are becoming a very big trend for sure.

--Last month we showcased this in our e-letter.  It was very popular, so I wanted to add it again as a benefit to you.  This is a neat tool that we have - home inventories are down & prices are going up, up, up. Do you want to know your home’s value? It is always an important number to keep track of! This is a pretty awesome little tool that we offer. You can check out what a or your home is worth quickly, without obligation and in a non-intrusive way. Just type in the address!  #WhyWait, it is always great to keep up with values.

--This is a very accurate article.  We agree with the sentiments in the report.  Also, the pics were taken at one of our listings in High Point of Marco Mendez of MM Triad Photography.  He does a great job and has a fantastic life story.  We appreciate Marco's work.

--We were proud to have been one of the few 2020 million dollar sales in the Triad in 2020 - featured in this article.  We greatly appreciate our clients and their trust and confidence in us to get their property sold.

--Check this out ... this pic is of the Yang Ming Warranty - one of the largest container ships on the globe.  It made its first port-of-call to the NC State Ports in Wilmington at the end of October - it is the largest ship ever to visit the ports.  This is very important development for the Triad area and our ability to continue to grow.  Congrats to the NC State Ports for their work.
