The first three months of 2012 have been great for the real estate market. Buyers have flocked to the beach (and Wilmington), and the activity is very strong right now.

In Carolina Beach there have been 58 total sales as of 3/24/2012. Of these 20 are condos, 25 are homes, and 13 are home sites. This compares to 63 total sales for the same period in 2011; 26 condos, 21homes, and 16 home sites.
