What impact will the Cherokee Indian Casino have on the Murphy NC Economy and Real Estate Market?

Posted by I Love Murphy on July 6, 2013

With the recent announcement that the Cherokee Indian Casino is just around the corner in Murphy NC, it most certainly changes the face of our local economy. When I meet with those looking to sell their home or real estate, they understandably want to know what impact will it have on their home values. Buyers, too, want to know what we anticipate happening so they can “time” their purchase.

Things to consider: We have the Harrah’s Casino in Cherokee to look for as a template of what can happen here locally in Murphy. Harrah’s, as a business model, wants to capture as much of the business as possible directly in their facility. The less folks who venture away from the casino yields higher profits for them. Therefore, they have incredible offerings right on site: restaurants, entertainment, gaming, leisure, lodging, the whole nine yards.

There is truly little reason to venture away from the facility for most people. Not only that, since the Cherokee own the land, they have no need to worry about immediate competition. We will not be Las Vegas or Atlantic City because no other competitors can purchase land and set up shop locally because it is illegal off of tribal land. Therefore, there will be one facility like that on the Cherokee Reservation.

What I anticipate: Personally, I believe our local economy will see an infusion. Laborers both locally and out of area will need to be hired to prepare and build the required structures. Those jobs, wages, and spending will put more capital into the economy. That will continue once the facility is built as they are anticipating 800+/- jobs to be created.

How will it impact the real estate market? I believe the demand for rentals will increase. On top of that, some tenants may have the ability to pay a higher rent. We have two markets for real estate here locally – primary homes (people purchasing to live full time) and secondary homes (vacation/retirement/etc. homes). I expect to see an increase in the primary market because of the additional and/or increased wages. I think the secondary market will see a different result – little to no change.

I find it difficult to believe folks will buy a vacation home so they can be close to the casino when lodging is offered by the casino and they strive to keep people on their property. Some will buy as a result, some will not want to buy because of the casino, and others will buy here because of the “classic” reasons they have always wanted to come to Murphy. I think in the end, it will be a flat to slightly higher increase in demand.

Posted by I Love Murphy on July 5, 2013

I found out about The Poltrock Team at REMAX because of a letter they sent me. From the very beginning, John was very professional, honest and was willing to take on my requests. The most helpful thing John did was not “sugar coat” anything! He spoke straight and realistic based on my property. I knew just what to expect.

I was very surprised that my property sold SO FAST!! John spoke to me in an honest way and I was realistic about it, but to turn over a property so fast in a slow economy like we have today was extremely rewarding for me!

Internet Real Estate Advertising Levels out the Selling Season in Murphy NC

Posted by I Love Murphy on June 14, 2013

Internet has easily changed the world – no doubt about it. We receive our news online, pay bills online, read more email than snail mail, are tethered to our smart phones, and shop for more and more items online too. The Internet has no doubt changed the face of our lives – and it has certainly done the same for selling real estate here in Murphy, NC.

Traditionally, we as Realtors experience a “selling season.” From May through the first two weeks in December was busy and the rest of the year was “dead,” as so many retired real estate agents explain. I have been told by many when Christmas rolled around, you might as well take an extended vacation through April or May. This likely was because if someone from out of town wanted to purchase a home, they had no way to see what homes and land was available for sale. Because of that, they waited to travel till the weather was more favorable for them.

The dynamics have changed drastically. No longer is this old adage true. I most certainly attribute it to the Internet. Now, no matter the time of year or temperature, folks can sit in the comfort of their home and shop for homes and properties online. They can find a plethora pictures and virtually walk through a home almost as if they were here in person. Now, they can find a house they want to see and buy throughout the entire year and can easily jump in their vehicle to come see it.

We experience this “leveling” of the season first hand as sales during the “off months” continue to climb to higher levels. I was amazing just how busy and how many properties sold in January, February, March, and April. The fact is, people’s desire to purchase a home never changes in the time of year. Now, the Internet brings properties right to their home no matter where they are located in the world.

The Internet is a wonderful and powerful tool to sell real estate. No matter the time of year, if you want to sell your house, call today! The prior thoughts of “let’s wait till [Spring, Summer, Fall, etc.]” are no longer necessary. Call today and let The Poltrock Team get you the results you need. We’re happy to share our advertising strategy with you to show you how we get properties sold when others can’t.
