I chose The Poltrock Team from local advertising and after meeting John Poltrock, I found him to be very professional and knowledgeable in the real estate market. John was very helpful in keeping me current on the activity of my home while being sold. I absolutely would use The Poltrock Team again and rate them a 10+ in the real estate market in Murphy, NC.

Happy Fall from the mountains of Murphy, North Carolina! The leaves are now showing off their brilliant colors and marks an excellent time for folks to come to the mountains, both for leisure and to buy real estate! If you’re not already here and want to enjoy the Fall colors, I recommend you arrive to the mountains soon as the colors look like they will change quite quickly. This would be a great weekend to come! The picture below is one I took Tuesday for you to enjoy 🙂 It’s a panorama, so may want to make your screen as large as possible.
SOLD REAL ESTATE UPDATE
So far, this year’s real estate sales have been wonderful and sporadic. We have seen some of the best months we have seen in many years and while some fell to 2011 records. Despite mixed results, this year has continued to show incredible stability in one of the most important parts to sellers – pricing. We have not noticed any major indicators pointing toward lower prices for about a year and a half. On the flip side, we have not noticed any rising prices as of yet either. This is a strong positive considering the rapidly declining prices we have seen in years past. It takes stability first to have rising prices!

The next 45 days on the market are crucial. We’re able to capitalize on some of the busiest time of the year. Make sure you’re prepared for it and making the most of the activity we’re going to have moving forward.
Looking to the future, we can expect sales are going to continue to be great. We’ll see seasonality kick in and sales drop off once we get to about 2 weeks before Christmas. Once that hits, we’ll have a lull of approximately 30 days. We’ll then see buyers begin to come back into the marketplace yielding a great February and March. It’s contrary to many folk’s popular belief, but it is the case. In today’s world of communication, buyers are still able to search and find the property they’ve been dreaming of no matter the weather or time of year. If you’re thinking, “nothing’s going to happen in the winter,” you can be very wrong.

We found out about The Poltrock Team from friends and from word-of-mouth. Once we got the recommendation, we saw him all over Murphy, NC in their advertising! John did an excellent job and was up-beat and on the ball! The most helpful thing that John offered was the truth about the market.
John is a great communicator. He keeps in touch, returned our calls, and answered our questions immediately. With his use of the Internet, websites, etc., he gave me the confidence that he was also reaching the larger market of non-traditional buyers.
I really respect someone like John who told us the truth about the real estate market we were selling in. He was also realistic about a listing price and the negative details about the property.
This was a trying experience for us, because of our financial situation. . .and John was always enthusiastic and up-beat about the process of selling our house. His help with our decisions along the way was a great relief to us. We really appreciate how he helped sell a second piece of land of ours at a value we never thought we could achieve.
And then – the last – and most inspiring . . . is that even months after the sale of our house, and that second piece of land, John did some research for us on a tax issue pro-bono . . . on his own time! Thank you John!
For honest guidance and exceptional results in real estate in Murphy, work with Murphy NC Real Estate and The Poltrock Team.

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.
This topic is full of varying opinions, beliefs, and much more. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this issue – especially on the impact you think it will have.

I would recommend The Poltrock Team at REMAX in Murphy NC if I know of anyone looking to buy or sell real estate. I was fortunate to find him through references who knew John from other homes he sold around my house in The Havens.
I know the market can be trying at best, so any buyer or seller needs a Realtor that knows the local Murphy real estate market – and John is that Realtor.
John offered ideas that would sell my house and no agent before him did or could do that. I had two other real estate agents before him and I always had to contact them to find out what was going on. John always kept me informed and always returned my calls. I wish I had found him way before now. Now, my home is thankfully SOLD!!

John, Thank You. You have been a pleasure to work with – we wish the best to you and your wife. You were so informative and pleasant to work with – especially over the phone. Being out of state, we spent quite a bit of time on the phone together. You made the sale of our house in Tarheel of Murphy NC incredibly easy and kept us informed on what was going on with the sale of our property and the market as a whole. You gave us the information on the Murphy real estate market we couldn’t have gotten any where else! You did a great job for us and there’s no doubt we absolutely recommend you.

Holy cow it’s hard to believe it’s already 2010 and January is flying by. With that said, there’s lots of great things going on in Murphy NC real estate right now. In fact, for number nerds out there like me, you’ll love this edition of our real estate market update. For those of you who want the information quick and conveniently, I’ll give you a fast summary before I get to all the dirty details of what happened. As always, you’ll be able to click the links below to see what real estate has sold, for how much, pictures, and much more!
2009 has proven to be a great year for improvements here in Cherokee County. In fact, 2009 has all the indicators that the market is improving and is doing all the right things. I’ll follow with more detail later, but overall in comparison with 2008, 2009 had more sales, properties sold faster, and the amount of properties available for sale was less. These three items are absolutely essential to stabilizing a real estate market, and that’s exactly what has happened. I believe with every bone in my body than 2010 will be even better than 2009. I’m expecting great things.

January has only 4 sales recorded on the MLS system as of today. With that said, I know there is a lot of real estate pending right now. Every RE/MAX Realtor in Murphy is experiencing quite a busy month. There’s a lot of people planning to come in the Spring! Right now we are doing a lot of prospecting to get them here so they can find the property they want to buy. There’s a lot of buyers on the sidelines looking to get in to the market!
For all of you who helped make 2009 a great year, Thank You. Without you, our business doesn’t exist. I know 2010 will be an outstanding year and am looking forward to it. In fact we’ve set our goals at twice that of 2009 – a rather lofty undertaking. We will do it and with your help! If there’s anything we can do for you, or if you have any referrals who need real estate help, please give us a call. As you know, we’re never too busy for your business.
