Another beautiful day in Pinehurst and Southern Pines. The weather is great!

Bill — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 20:35:48 +0000

It’s a beautiful Monday afternoon in Southern Pines and Pinehurst, North Carolina (and surrounding areas, which include Whispering Pines, Seven Lakes and Aberdeen). The sun is peeking out between some clouds, but we’re seeing periods of bright warm sunshine. Spring is just around the corner. In other parts of the country, the snow is becoming a sooty, slushy mess! Not so here in the Sandhills though, which makes it an ideal place to relocate. Whether you’re looking for a retirement home, are being relocated to Fort Bragg by the military, have an interest in an equestrian community or are (or thinking of becoming) one of the lucky families who chooses to like in Moore County, NC, we’ll help you find the home that’s right for you.

Pinehurst Golf

Bill — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 17:44:28 +0000

Listed by Golf Digest as number 19 of the 100 greatest golf courses in the United States and named by that same publication as the number one golf destination on the East Coast, Pinehurst No. 2 and the other fifty-some golf courses in the Sandhills have made the area a major center for golfers and golfing fans.

Nostalgia linksters who remember Payne Stewart’s last colorful 1999 Open round before his untimely death or recall Ben Hogan’s first tournament win in Pinehurst, or you care most for golfing today, the Pinehurst-Southern Pines area combines memories and excitement enough for all.

Pinehurst # 2, designed by the legend Donald Ross, has played host to the U.S. Open several times while nearby Pine Needles hosted the Women’s Open in 1996 and 2001, and other courses regularly host special events.

It is not accidental that this small golf mecca has grown up around the unique village of Pinehurst, a remarkable recreational and living spot designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, creator of New York’s Central Park. The locale was sufficiently appealing that Donald Ross dropped by at the turn of the 20th century to re-design a golf course and stayed for forty-eight years to design a handful of local courses and a hundred plus courses around the country, always calling Pinehurst #2 his “home course.”

These courses are accessible via Amtrak, airport limo from Raleigh, Greensboro, or Fayetteville, and several interstates. The Sandhills’ benevolent weather makes them playable almost daily throughout the year, and the area offers an array of remarkable restaurants and shopping for hours not spent on the course.

Dear Bill:

I feel compelled to share with you my thoughts regarding the real estate sale transaction you most recently assisted me with.

Going into this I had great trepidation and suspicion for both the process and the unknowns in any residential property deal. To say that I met this task with fear, loathing and disdain would have been an understatement.

I am hard pressed to think of any other real world situation having the potential to create levels of emotional stress and anxiety such as I had anticipated; given the present conditions of financial markets, lending rates and residential real estate listings.

Your professional demeanor, expertise and involvement proved invaluable in helping my family accomplish our objective. The advice and suggestions you offered, and more importantly, how you presented and explained those was just right; calm, rational, to the point, and always keeping my best interests in mind. You are certainly a rare individual.

For and on behalf of the Bruno family I offer our most sincere thanks and appreciation.

Yours faithfully,
Sam A. Bruno

Scots Glen Homes in Southern Pines North Carolina

Bill — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 03:21:07 +0000

Fall in love with Moore County, North Carolina. This new neighborhood is located in Southern Pines, but evokes a feeling of living in the country. The scenic drive from town takes you past large parcels of rolling land and tranquil ponds, likely passed down by previous generations.
Scots Glen consists of mainly ½ acre and slightly larger lots with a few ¾ acre lots and above.

In 2007, the average sales price of a single family home was $323,374. These sales occurred in an average of 130 days.

This amount compares very favorably to most other areas of the country, and in fact, puts the Pinehurst and Southern Pines single family homes sales substantially lower than the Cary, N.C. & Raleigh, N.C. Asheville, N.C. & N.C. Coastal communities.

Our combination of low taxes and home value makes the Pinehurst, Southern Pines area a very desirable destination for young retirees, transferring families, and first time buyers. Pinehurst and Southern Pines, located an hour’s drive to Cary & Raleigh, lead our area in new retiree relocations because of the superb medical community and the outstanding lifestyle our area offers. Retiring to the Sandhills makes sense for economic reasons as well as lifestyle reasons.

With some of the lowest home prices in the country compared to other retirement areas of a similar ilk, our resale market remains strong and caters to the strong demand by professional military families with children, that are flocking to our area to take advantage of the Moore County Schools.

Pinehurst and Southern Pines are unique & charming areas that our many residents will attest to. Yet, they are two very distinct communities.

If Norman Rockwell were alive, there is no doubt our citizens would see him strolling down the gingerbread streets of downtown Southern Pines on a crisp autumn morning. The eclectic nature of this town has a strong New England flavor and attracts thoughtful and passionate people from all parts of this country. The essence of Southern Pines can be found in the retirees that move here. They will tell you that Southern Pines, reminds them of the hometown they grew up in as children and that the spirit of the town has a quality of “yesteryear” that gently flows throughout the neighborhoods. The preeminent feeling about Southern Pines, dotted with its historic homes, Victorian streets, large lots and breathtaking landscapes is that this town has always been here and appears just like it did many years ago… unspoiled and without ego.

The historic Village of Pinehurst lies before you as you enter the gates to a glorious community of lifestyles. Beyond the Historic Village of charming shops and history lay some of the most beautiful and reasonably priced neighborhoods you can find. There are over 15 golf courses within a 10 minute drive of Pinehurst, which is anchored by the famed Carolina Hotel and Pinehurst C.C. Golf course communities dominate the landscape and lifestyles, but tucked away in some of the winding streets of Pinehurst you can live are neighborhoods of new construction homes and beautifully renovated “period” homes. This historic destination caters to families, single professionals and retired couples of all ages and most homes are priced in the range of $200,000 - $400,000.00.
