R.E.Market Durham

Real Estate Market Durham. The saying goes, "All real estate is local". So true. But real estate is a fascinating animal. It is very small and very big at the same time, and is a metaphor for all that we hold dear in American culture and society - community, safety, risk, dreams, and unbridled optimism. Here, you'll see the everyday and the extraordinary. I want to REMarket the local conversation about real estate. I won't have all the answers, but hopefully I'll ask the right questions.

Sabbatical?

I haven't posted in a few weeks. Not that I don't have lots to talk about. I've been in transition to my new position on the real estate development team at Self-Help. The team works to build energy efficient and affordable homes in communities across North Carolina. Many of these communities are dealing with industry loss, dilapidated housing stock, and other issues. As we build, we want to attract homeowners and investment, and help to rebuild sustainable and prosperous communities.
That being said, I'm not sure where R.E.Market Durham goes from here. I'll still be working on homes in Durham (some very exciting projects), but will also be spending significant time in Goldsboro, Fuquay-Varina, Charlotte, and Greensboro. The purpose of this blog is to take the national real estate picture and distill it down to its Durham essence. I believe that I could do that even better with a first hand view of other North Carolina markets.
Posts here will be sporadic as I learn the five markets I'll now be working in. I hope to be able to bring an even better informed perspective once I'm back in the saddle.
