This winter has truly been a mixed bag in the mountains.  While many of us have enjoyed skiing, snowboarding & sledding many of us have also endured power outages, slick roads and fallen trees among other obstacles.   Winter can be a tricky time to live in the mountains but it sure is worth it.  The beauty of the snow falling (and laying) is truly difficult to describe.  If you are someone who has never visited Franklin or seen snow in the mountains it is time for you to visit

Winter is the perfect time to look at real estate in the mountains.  I know it's cold (yes it is) but it's also beautiful and more importantly prices are down in the winter (even more so this year) and with the leaves off the trees you can actually see how the land lays (and if you have any neighbors).  Some people that purchase their home in the summer have been surprised by what they couldn't see when the leaves were on well....now they can.  So while it may be cold, the beauty, prices & views of winter make this the perfect time to look at purchasing a mountain home and what better area than the surrounding area of Franklin, NC.  Feel free to call Sherry at 828.421.1225, e-mail: Sherry@exitsells.com or visit http://www.franklinnative.com/

Well I wouldn't go as far as say that swine flu is another reason to buy and live in a home in or around Franklin, NC but chalk it up to going in the right direction.  While swine flu may not be a reason to live in the Mountains of Western NC there ARE some really good ones:

1. Traffic-we have around 10 traffic lights in the whole town.  Traffic jams we really don't know the meaning of those.  The only fingers you get waving at you here are of the friendly nature.
2. No lines-even in the best restaurants you will rarely experience a wait of any kind (never mind need a reservation). Want to go see a movie? Go play at the Fun Factory? History or Tartans museum?  Nope no lines there either. 
3. Clean air-come to the mountains, take a deep breath and smell fresh clean air.  It is amazing. 
4. Views-to wake up every morning and look out your window or door, while your driving around or sitting on your porch truly the views in my opinion get no better.

While I could go on&on, fishing, wildlife, lakes, streams, waterfalls, hiking.......I feel I've made my point.  No swine flu is not the reason to think of moving to the mountains but just another added benefit to less people more wildlife and a little elbow room.
