Cooper's Cary home up for sale

Cary, N.C. — The Cary home once shared by Brad Cooper and his wife, Nancy, is up for sale.

104 Wallsburg Court, the 12-room home was listed Monday on the Triangle real estate market at $349,900.

Described in the listing as a "brick-front beauty in desirable Lochmere," it has spacious rooms, "tons of storage, four bedrooms, 2½ baths and a bonus room.

Earlier this month, a moving crew loaded a 26-foot van with furniture and electronics that belong to the couple. Workers said the items were going to storage.

Brad Cooper, 35, is in jail on a first-degree murder charge in connection with his wife's July 12 death.

A man walking his dog found Nancy Cooper's body lying on the bank of a storm water pond in an undeveloped subdivision less than three miles from the couple's home.

The 34-year-old mother of two was likely strangled, according to a medical examiner's report.

Earlier this month, Wake County District Judge Debra S. Sasser issued a temporary restraining order that prohibits Brad Cooper from selling any of his possessions or liquidating any of his assets.

Nancy Cooper's family, which has temporary custody of the Cooper children, asked for the order, claiming they believe Brad Cooper has instructed his family how to dispose of his assets.

Under Sasser's ruling, if the house sells, the net proceeds must be held in escrow pending a further ruling.

Although the Cooper house has been treated as a crime scene, police have not said where they think Nancy Cooper was killed.

Local real estate agents say there is no law requiring sellers to disclose information about crimes that might have occurred in homes up for sale.

Bad Karma or not, the gossipy and fickle neighbors would discourage me from living there. I am sure the house is beautiful but with friends like those women, well you know how that saying ends. I feel bad for the next woman who might need a friend living there.

I am sure that one or more of those neighbors will make sure that the new owners will know about what happened in that house. Shame that the girls will never be able to visit their childhood home that they shared with their mother and have fond memories. I pray that he did not kill her in the home while the little girls were there. That will never be known. Too bad in this sort of situation the house can't just be torn down.

Tiblet,

If you want to know how much is owed on the house go the Wake County register of deeds website and look up the DOT(deeds of trust), run an amorization table from the time of purchase and you will get an idea, make sure you get all current liens not hard to do, just enter Cooper, Bradley under the grantee section. If you luck out they will have an ARM (adjustable rate mortgage) and the interest rate will be given along with proposed adjustments at the end of the DOT on a form called ARM Rider, then you will not have to guess at the interest rate. The amount of house payment has been given out somewhere in all the depos and warrant info, just take that and do the math on the orginal amount financed. Also you can do to the Wake GIS maps to see how much he paid and sub that from amt. financed then you will know how much he put down. I could do this in under 3 minutes, if I was interested, let's see how long it takes you.
