When Hurricane Helene made landfall, it became one of the deadliest U.S. hurricanes since 1950—leaving over a million without power and hundreds of lives lost. But the devastation didn’t stop when the skies cleared. Now, the storm’s aftershocks are rippling far beyond its path—impacting housing markets from western North Carolina to South Carolina, Georgia, and beyond. Even in Raleigh, where the storm didn’t directly strike, buyers are left asking: Is my next home—and my financial plan—resilient enough to withstand the unexpected? At Burson Home Advisors, we don’t just help clients find a home. We help them create a housing strategy that’s flexible, protective, and ready for life’s pivots. Why Natural Disasters Matter to Homebuyers—Even Outside the Storm Zone While Helene

How our Lease-to-Own and No Bank Financing Homes give Raleigh families a smarter alternative to institutional rental models. If you’ve been house hunting in the Triangle, you’ve likely come across brand-new neighborhoods filled with homes for rent—not for sale. While build-to-rent expands across the Triangle, we’re also seeing growing interest in the Triad—Greensboro and Winston-Salem—where families want the same privacy and new-construction appeal without giving up the chance to build equity.

As rental construction slows and demand stays strong, families who wait may find themselves paying more for less—whether they’re in apartments or single-family homes. But what if there was a way to lock in a fixed monthly payment that’s lower than a mortgage, build equity, and keep your options open? That’s exactly what our clients do through Burson Home Advisors’ Lease-to-Own programs offered through their partners. And for families relocating to Raleigh, first-time homebuyers, and entrepreneurs needing flexibility, it’s proving to

National headlines suggest home buying is getting easier, with more listings hitting the market. But in Raleigh? That’s only part of the picture. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a current homeowner relocating to the Triangle, or a self-employed professional still getting mortgage-ready, the reality is this: prices remain high, interest rates are volatile, and most homes are still out of reach—unless you already have equity or cash to roll in.
