Hello and welcome to TGIF Scoop!
Wilmington NC made "the list" again. Wilmington NC Best City List for Job Growth. There are signs of a recovering economy as a recent jobs report listing cities with jobs growth over 1% for period July-October 2009, listed Wilmington NC in the top ten cities for jobs growth during that period. The list was compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Read the rest of the story here.
Remember to take advantage of one of those once in a lifetime opportunities to buy a home! Historic low interest rates and all homes are on SALE! There is still time to receive the $8,000 or $6,500 tax credit. The mortgage rates are still around 5% and some areas of New Hanover & Pender Counties offer USDA 100% financing. Call us, use our local knowledge and experience to help guide you. Visit
www.cbbaker.com for up the minute MLS listings of homes in our tri-county area.
