2011 Wa Wa Ave Bungalow in Lakewood, Durham NC

UNDER CONTRACT!

Its hard to tell what to love most about this little charmer. Could it be the rocking chair front porch? The back yard patio? The Gardens and Chicken Coop? The fully permitted remodel done in 2012? or the cool location, close to Duke, great shopping, restaurants and Downtown Durham? Well I can't decide and I bet you can't either. This 1940's Bungalow offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms - one of which is a large master bath with double sinks, period hardwood flooring, and an updated kitchen with custom Maple cabinets.

The Brokers at my NC Homes have had the pleasure of working clients ranging in age from 20 - 80+. Over the next several months we will be showcasing the best communities for aging in place. We do this as a service to our clients as well as a service to the community at large. In all instances you'll need to contact these communities directly as these aren't offered for sale in the traditional real estate manner, we're unable to work as your Buyer agent. We hope however that this information is helpful to our older clients as well as our younger clients who may have parents or grandparents in need.

We would like to begin our series on aging in place in North Carolina with Cary. Cary, North Carolina is part of what is known as the Research Triangle

The next unemployment rate will be announced on May 8th. It is expected to be in the double digits. Due to the health crisis; the economy has essentially come to a screeching halt; and many are feeling a personal financial crisis. James Bullard, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, explained that the government is trying to find ways to assist both those who have lost their jobs as well as  the companies which were forced to close (think: your neighborhood restaurant). In a recent interview he said:

"This is a planned, organized partial shutdown of the U.S. economy in the second quarter. The overall goal is to keep everyone, households and businesses, whole."
