Ancil Jones: Eastern NC Real Estate and Local Info

September 11, 2001

Ancil Jones — 2009-09-10T04:07:00Z

09/11/01 - It's been 8 years since the terrorist attacks.  I can still
remember the shock and horror of that day.  I still can't believe that
something like that could happen in our own back yard.  2976 people lost
their lives that day and so many people have forgotten.  We need to remember
September 11, 2001 as horrific and tragic.  Learn from this day that we are
not immune to terrorism.  Find the anger that we all felt that day and
re-kindle it.  Remember that we are Americans, we are family and there are
people out there who are trying to harm, even kill our brothers and sisters,
mothers and fathers.  Get angry, stay angry and don't let it happen again.  

Remember and pray for the victims and their families.  Remember and pray for
our troops and their families who still sacrifice daily to protect our way
of life.  Thank those in uniform for their service and appreciate the
lifestyle that so many take for granted, the lifestyle that I and many like
me gladly served to protect.  The lifestyle so many have died to protect.

God bless America, God bless us all.

Don't forget September 11, 2001.

Local Real Estate Market Updates by Ancil Jones

Ancil Jones — 2009-06-03T18:51:00Z

Local Real Estate Market Updates by Ancil Jones

The real estate market in Carteret/Craven counties has improved significantly since November 2008 which left us with 4,338 active listings, 73 sold and 59.42 months inventory (the number of months required to clear inventory at current sales rate). January showed some improvement with 4,095 active listings, 77 sold and 53.18 months inventory. April even more promising with 4,228 activive listings, 119 sold and 35.53 months inventory. In May 2009 we moved some property with 138 sold, 4,210 active listings and 30.51 months inventory.

With good pricing from the get-go, the average "Days on Market"(DOM) has been around 200 days. This actually is not bad as the lowest DOM since June 2007 has been 146 which was September 20007.

As always, offers are submitted below asking price. The average price change from listing to sold is currently at -12.73% (property sold for -12.73% below asking price). This figure has remained fairly constant since 2007 ranging from -12.06% for June 2007 to -13.35% for August 2008.

With the 1st Time Home buyer tax credit and interest rates still available at around 5%, this is a fanastic time to be in the market, either buying or selling.

Community People, Places and Happenings - Salute our Heroes and Their Families at North River Club, Beaufort, NC

Ancil Jones — 2008-10-29T18:40:00Z

Salute our Heroes Beneath the “Stars & Stripes”

“They answered the call when we needed them….will you answer their call when they need you?

Wounded Hero and Family Support Fund Raiser

Where: North River Club – Cart Deck
When: November 8th, 2008
Time: 5:00 p.m.

Steaks on the Grill – Prepared to Perfection by Chef Kim Graham
Baked Potato, Salad & Desert Live Music - Bobby Webb
Live Auction

Tickets are $25.00 per person and may be purchased at: Jarrett Bay Boat House (Front St. Beaufort), Kivett’s Happy House (Arendell St. Morehead City), Priscilla’s Wine Shop (Hwy.70 Morehead) or by calling Valerie Peterson @ 252-725-3017.

As I’m sure you are well aware, the number of wounded troops is mounting and the toll this takes on the families as well as the Service Member is overwhelming. The sacrifices our injured Military Personnel are recognized with medals and commendations. However, the mothers and wives who arrive to be “nurses”, wide-eyed and afraid, make their own sacrifices-abandoning jobs and homes and delaying retirement to help their wounded children and husbands reclaim their lives. Bring a Soldier Home, is dedicated to helping these families continue to live and function as a complete family unit, and provide financial assistance to enable them to stay together through rehabilitation.

We are so thankful for the generosity of the area businesses and members of the community, which continue to support our brave young men and women. A young soldier once said to me “our biggest fear isn’t the Taliban; it’s that the American people back home will forget about us”. Thank you for not forgetting!!

Community People, Places and Happenings - Crystal Coast Plaza Update

Ancil Jones — 2008-10-05T15:03:00Z

The Crystal Coast Plaza has opened up some new shopping experiences for us to enjoy here in Carteret county.
This experience is provided by the opening of Bed Bath and Beyond, Pet Smart, Michael's, Ross's, TJ Max and The Shoe Box. A Panera's Bread has opened on an out-lot as well.


I had commented in an earlier blog about a Chick-Fil-A being opened as part of the Crystal Coast Plaza. This information was taken from a press release from the development company and proved

to be erroneous. At this time, there is no Chick-Fil-A in Morehead City. Please accept my apologies for providing incorrect information and I do want to thank people for bringing this to my

attention. At least I know someone is reading it.


Don't forget this weekend is the Morehead City Sea Food Festival. Today, Sunday, October 5, 2008 the festival will run from 1100 (11am) to 1700 (5pm). Rides, food and fun. Bring the family for

some great fun.

Ancil Jones — 2008-09-14T00:22:00Z

I want to thank our Cherry Point Commissary and the Mess Hall for a lot of work and a great spread.

On Tuesday, September 9, 2008, Cherry Point Commissary was part of a Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) wide Italian-American decorating/display contest. They took it a step further and fed a few hundred active duty and retired personnel and their families. The FREE lunch consisted of different "Bertoli" products as well as spaghetti, meat sauce, an alfredo sauce and garlic bread cooked up by Cpl Renesh Washington and Cpl Sean Davis and managed by Msgt Bobby Thomas. The commissary personnel directly responsible are Jazette Stewart (Grocery Manager), Phyllis Black (Store Director), Shirley Mitchel (Merchandiser) and Katie Thomas who is a representative of Sarvis/Unileaver who provided product.

Again, Thank you for showing your appreciation and the great lunch.

Ross's Update

Still no new news on the opening of the Ross's store in Morehead City. I am unable to get any new information from the company at this time.

I have been able to find out that there is an opening for a management position at the Morehead City store.

I will keep an eye on the store and the company seeking more information.

Community People, Places and Happenings - Meaning of Memorial Day

Ancil Jones — 2008-05-23T17:40:00Z

Meaning of Memorial Day

Source: VFW Magazine, May 2008, Commandpost, George Lisicki, Commander-in-Chief

"It's a sacred day to all war veterans: None need to be reminded of the reason that Memorial Day must be commemorated. But what about the general public, and more important, future generations? Do most non-veterans really recognize the importance of the day honoring their follow Americans killed in war?

Judging from what Memorial Day has become - simply another day off from work - the answer is a resounding no. Perhaps a reminder is due, then. And it is the duty of each and every veteran to relay the message.

Sacrifice is meaningless without remembrance. America's collective consciousness demands that all citizens recall and be aware of the deaths of their fellow countrymen during wartime.

Far too often, the nation as a whole takes for granted the freedoms all Americans enjoy. Those freedoms were paid for with lives of others few of us actually knew. That's why they are all collectively remembered on one special day.

This should be regarded as a civic obligation. For this is a national debt that can only be truly repaid by individual Americans. By honoring the nation's war dead, we preserve their memory and thus their service and sacrifice in the memories of future generations.

They came from all walks of life and regions of the country. But they all had one thing in common - love of and loyalty to country. This bond cemented ties between them in times of trials, allowing a diverse lot of Americans to achieve monumental ends.

We remember the loss of loved ones, a sense of loss that takes group form. In essence, America is commemorating those who made the greatest sacrifice possible - giving one's own life on behalf of others.

Means of paying tribute vary. Pausing for a few momemts of personal silence is available to everyone.

Attending commemorative ceremonies is the most visible way of demonstrating remembrance: Placing flags at gravesites, marching in parades, sponsoring patriotic programs, dedicating memorials and wearing Buddy Poppies are examples.

Whether done individually or collectively, it is the thought that counts. Personal as well as public acts of remembering are the ideal. Public displays of patriotism are essential if the notion of remembering war dead is to be instilled youth.

As America's older war veterans fast disapear from society's landscape, there are fewer and fewer standard-bearers left to carry the torch of remembrance. Such traditions will live on only if there is a vibrant movement to which that torch can be passed.

Now, more than in recent years, the enduring relevance of Memorial Day should be clearly evident. With two wars underway, the public has no excuse not to remember.

This much is owed to the more that 4,500 Americans who have died thus far in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Thanks again to the May 2008 edition of the VFW magazine and the Commander-in-Chief, George Lisicki for the above article.

I want to take this opportunity to thank our military personnel (past and present) and their families for their sacrifices. Pray for and thank our service members, especially this weekend. Let them know that we do think about and support them.
