I had not posted in awhile so I thought it would be a good time to talk about the market since the year end statistics are now out for our area. This one is a quick one but hopefully you get something out if it.

We talk a lot about why people should move to our area, and over the last few years a lot of people have. Today we talked with Scott and Brenda Ireland to talk about Newcomers of Catawba Valley. It is an organization 250 people strong that get together quite often and make the most out of living here. We talked about why they moved here, what they like about our area so far and how to get involved with their group if you are a newcomer as well. I think we had a great discussion and it should be helpful to anyone that has moved here recently or is thinking about moving to our area.

If you have interest in Newcomers of Catawba Valle visit their website for more information. www.newcomersofcv.org
