            <title>Take in the treehouse views of this lovely home in Taberna!</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
On one of the few elevated lots in Taberna sits a brick home on an end of a cul-de-sac that appears to hang in mid-air, suspended in the trees, overlooking an undisturbed and protected eco-system that existed long before Taberna was even imagined.&nbsp; Bird watchers will be in their glory as feathered friends of all native species can be truly appreciated for their beauty without as much of a tilt of the head.&nbsp; 

As you enter the foyer, you eyes are immediately drawn to the outside.&nbsp;... ]]> </description>

Historically low interest rates and rock bottom prices are bringing Buyers into the market.&nbsp;With interest rates below 5%, Buyers are thinking it can&rsquo;t get much better than this.&nbsp; And it&rsquo;s true, for first-time buyers this may be the opportunity of a lifetime.&nbsp;FHA loans require only 3.5% down and some lenders have special programs that require even less for a down payment.&nbsp;Contributions to Buyers&rsquo; closing costs are negotiated to be paid by the Seller for firs... ]]> </description>

WHEW, the 300th celebration of the founding of New Bern is over!!!&nbsp; For 52 weeks in 2010, I do believe there was at least one party a week celebrating the 300th.&nbsp; Everyone joined in for fun, volunteered for work, and celebrated together.&nbsp; Even in a poor economy, New Bern really shined for a whole year.&nbsp; And guess what, it continues to shine in 2011.&nbsp; 

I sold a house recently to a couple who have lived all over the world.&nbsp; As they planned for retirement, they selec... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
It's never too late to buy a new home.&nbsp; Several factors are converging to make this the perfect time to buy a home. Interest rates are at historic lows.&nbsp; Inventory levels are high which means there are plenty of choices for buyers at good prices. And Uncle Sam is offering a 10% tax credit up to maximum of $8,000, for first time or other eligible&nbsp; buyers who have not owned a home in the three years previous to the purchase.&nbsp; Why pay the mortgage on your landlord's property wh... ]]> </description>

            <description> <![CDATA[ I recently had a lady ask me to help her find a lot in New Bern for a new mobile home she was going to buy. I asked her why she was buying a mobile home and she said no one would help her except the mobile home company. They offered her a $100,000 mobile home at 7% interest. Now this lady has worked 2 jobs for 10 years, has no bad credit and is just a nice person. I went with her to talk with Miriam Willis at First South Bank who is nice to everyone - and low and behold - she qualified for a goo... ]]> </description>
