General Market Observations:
I hope you are having a great week. We continue to stay very busy, even in January. There are some smokin’deals around, and buyers are jumping on good opportunities!
I wanted to share some stats from this past year that you may find of interest. If you would like more specific details on a town, neighborhood, or property-type please let me know. For now, some general info…
In Carolina & Kure Beach, 2010 shows 387 properties having SOLD in 2010. This is an increase of over 22% from 2009. The increase is due to great prices, low interest rates and a nice selection of available homes / condos and land. In the past 6 months however, we have seen a decrease in inventory (pls call me if you have land / lots to sell). There ARE buyers searching for….and not finding what they want
We have a handful of BUYERS looking for (and not finding) the home or condo that they want. In these cases, our often clients will turn to land / home sites. In addition to custom built homes, I anticipate having several single-family spec homes being built this spring. In fact we will be releasing two pre-construction homes in the next 30 days…construction will begin by Jan 31st.
