FORSCOM HQ?

Pope is on the AF list but so far it's a net gain of 4,300 (?) jobs to to the Ft Bragg and Fayetteville area.

With new construction in Hoke, Harnett and (Soon to be because of I-295) Sampson County there will be a house available for everybody. Nice new construction is running from around $110,000 to $500,000.

Existing homes are available in all neighborhoods. Price is based on location and condition. VA/Bank owned homes can be found in just about every neighborhood in the greater Cumberland county area. Most bank owned property is discounted at 10-50% based on condition and sold "as is".

For you new guys in town, talk with somebody who has been here a while before you pick a neighborhood to rent in. Before you sign the papers knock on a few of the neighbor's doors and say "Hey there".

For you guys who want to sell there is always FSBO (for sale by owner) and a number of on-line Real Estate services. I think the military has one also. But i must say the big local companies can move the standard properties pretty quick. That 5-6% sales commision has to be considered in the "How Quick" you want to sell.
