She received some new horses to board that came from South Dakota. The farm where they stayed before coming to us was set up differently. The horses were in much smaller areas. One of the horses was especially large and really didn't enjoy the small space he was in previously. The interesting thing to me was to watch him gently begin to explore our larger pasture. At fi rst, he stood basically in one spot all day. In his mind, he was still enclosed in a very small space even though he had all of the pasture to enjoy. So he didn't move. Only gradually did his mental picture of where he could spend the day expand to include all the pasture. For weeks, he was still a prisoner in his mind, stuck in the previous pasture. What mental prison do you choose to stay in? Are you trap- ping yourself in a small area of life when you could enjoy much more room and freedom? Today, choose to be free from your mental prison so you can Live Positive and make a life worth living. Are you a prisoner? CHRIS JOLLY By Loretta Cozart T h e m e d i a n s a l e s price for s i n g l e - f a m i l y h o m e s in Kings Mountain has risen an astonishing 40.8% in the last 12 months. With the opening of the casino, many speculate the reason for the increase in home costs happened because of the announcement. Chris Jolly, licensed NC Realtor® and owner of Jolly Realty Group, suggests the reason has less to do with the ca- sino and more to do with a lack of inventory. Looking at MLS listings for July 2018, Kings Moun- tain had 194 properties available for purchase. In July 2019, there were only 161 properties listed. By 2020, 151 were offered, and as of August 15, there are just 140 residential listings. Of those 140 properties, only 28 aren't already under contract.** If you were to need a house now in Kings Mountain, you would have less than 30 houses from which to choose. Jolly ex- plains, "We have a very hot seller's market right now with historically low interest rates creating very strong and competitive buyer ac- tivity." A lot of that activity comes from homeowners who look to take advan- tage of the increase in posi- tive equity from the sale of their home and use that to upgrade their homes with little, or in some cases no increase, in their monthly payment due to the lower cost of lending. A supply and demand issue are created when sellers are hesitant to list their home for sale for fear of selling their house before they have found the home that suits their needs. These shoppers are checking for new listings daily, and when the right one comes on the market, they make an offer with the intention of selling their current residence to qualify for a new mortgage. When a buyer offers this way, most feel the need to make their offers as strong as possible in hopes that the seller chooses them. You see increases in purchase price, due diligence fees, etc. "When this happens for an extended period, real estate agents can see the trends, we have sold/closed comparable properties and value listings with the most up to date information avail- able, which reflects the cur- rent trends of the market," Jolly shared. "While low inventory supply has affected many markets across the coun- try, there are a couple dif- ferent factors that I believe are driving people to Kings Mountain, specifically." "Affordability is becom- ing a major concern for a lot of cities and counties in our area. Even with the recent increase in values, Kings Mountain is still an af- fordable place to live. We are seeing situations where homeowners are frustrated with congestion from the high rate of development in cities like Charlotte and Bel- mont. A lot of those people find Kings Mountain and realize its affordable, with great access to I-85 and Highway 74," said Jolly. "Another large factor into the rise of interest in Kings Mountain is due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With an incredible amount of people now working re- motely, it's easier than ever for families to move a little further away from their physical office, and we are seeing a lot of people from Charlotte, who now work from home, look- ing for homes in our area. As lockdowns and man- dates started happening last year, I think it influenced people to seek out less con- gested areas to live," he said. "Lastly, I believe this city is finally seeing the fruits of its labor. Major downtown revitalization continues, and our Special Events depart- ment has done an incredible job getting Kings Mountain 'on the map', through the many events, concerts, and Christmas festivities it's hosted over the last few years. We are seeing more people come into Kings Mountain than ever before." Jolly concludes, "Once they see how many boxes the city checks for them, it's just really hard to say no to Kings Mountain right now." Important note to readers - Jolly states that each indi- vidual property is unique, and that values will vary with each property. Please contact a local, licensed NC Realtor® for a proper and thorough home valuation. **Data compiled from CanopyMLS©. Information accurate as of August 15, 2021. Sellers Market driving KM home prices up, up, up Due to the increase in COVID-related illnesses t h r o u g h o u t C l e v e l a n d County, the Board of Edu- cation voted to require face coverings/masks for all stu- dents, staff and building oc- cupants while inside a school building when occupied by students during the instruc- tional day. C l e v e l a n d C o u n t y Schools has developed a standardized form to provide consent for or on behalf of a student enrolled in our district to exempt a student from the local face-covering require- ment. The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have provided guid- ance stating that the wear- ing of face coverings slows the spread of COVID-19 and encourages all students and school staff to wear face coverings. Failure to wear a face-covering may subject a student or staff member to an increased risk of contract- ing COVID-19 and spreading COVID-19 to others. By completing this form, parents and guardians are authorizing your student to not wear a face-covering while at school. A separate form must be completed for each child. The form can be found online at https://cleveland- countyschools.formstack. com/forms/face_covering_ exemption_form Masks required in schools, with options S C H O O L S Cleveland County Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.
