People like views, rocks, trees, water, walk out basements.  

I live in the triangle and we like to visit the Blowing Rock area a couple of times per year. 

Get to closing and then rock on.

The secondary and tertiary markets around Charlottes are reasonable to enter (Rock Hill, SC , Gastonia, NC, etc).

You Rock!!!!

It has become an asset here in Little Rock too.I am glad to see your question here; and the responses.

He got down past where we thought "virgin ground" was and the dirt was still a little soft, so he brought in a load of rock and went to work on it with a "whacker packer"A quick call to our engineer to swing back by to check out the adjusted footers and...Another quick call to the concrete company and...The company that does all our New Construction foundations wanted 3,950 for these footers.  

However, more recently, as in the states, we are all waiting for the bubble to burst, [rock bottom] interest rates are driving the cost of homes up so high, money is cheap and everywhere and the only thing in which is slowing purchasing now, is the raising cost of transfer tax throughout the country.

I suggest Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Memphis, Little Rock, Jacksonville, Ohio, or other secondary or tertiary markets.
