Please join me for a day of thrilling excitement at Briar Chapel’s first annual 6BC Endurance Race this Saturday (Nov 21st) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Hosted by the Triangle Off Road Cyclists (TORC), the event will feature six hours of competitive biking through groves of pines and oaks, past Pokeberry Creek, and up (and down!) the rugged terrain of Bennett Mountain.
Registration on race day is $60 for all categories. Pre-registration is available online, with prices ranging from $35-$45. All race proceeds will benefit local trail projects. A map of the race course is available here (PDF). For more information, visit the TORC website.
Even if you’re not planning to race, spectators are welcome and invited to enjoy guided trail walks, live music, delicious BBQ, and a beer garden. This is also a perfect time to check out the community. Please contact Peter Winkler to schedule a tour and take a look at the available homes for sale.
With the new Homebuyer Tax Credit legislation passed on November 6th, now is the perfect time to purchase a home in Briar Chapel. The new credit extends the deadline to April 30th of next year, raises the qualifying income limitations, and expands the offer to include current homeowners who have lived in their residence for five consecutive years.
The tax credit program now gives those who already own a residence some additional reason to move to a new home. This incentive comes in the form of a tax credit of up to $6,500 for qualified purchasers who have owned and occupied a primary residence for a period of five consecutive years during the last eight years.
For more detailed information, please visit the IRS or NAHB websites. I also recommend that you check out this whitepaper, which addresses many of the questions my clients have been asking.
The renovations at Kiwanis Park are currently featured on my favorite blog, Playscapes, a blog about playground design. Yea! The following quotes help sum up the raison d’etre of Playscapes, with which I can relate. “Because it’s difficult to find n…
