Why invest in Real Estate in Coastal North Carolina?

First the economic conditions in Wilmington, a coastal town with low-paying jobs and above-average unemployment, may not seem that great to locals. But the town's stabilizing economy and inexpensive housing for a beach town (the median price of a home is only $189,000) make it look pretty good to outsiders. Wilmington continues to enjoy some of the strongest population growth in the country--2% annually for the last several years.  The good news for locals is that business is picking up; it helped drive a slight increase in non-farm employment last year. Business analysts believe the region's low business costs, diverse industrial base, and desirable living environment, augur well for strong growth in years ahead.  Second, whether you choose to retire or use your home for a second vacation destination, your investment will grow with time.  Real estate prices have increased all over the country, but they are still reasonable in this area. In addition, the second home marketplace is actually even healthier than the primary home marketplace. People are investing in second homes; it's as simple as that.

The good news for Real Estate in Wilmington is that pending home sales increased in February according to the National Association of Realtors®.   We won’t know about March sales until next week but here are some statistics reported on Trulia for this past week.  The average price per square foot for Wilmington was $349, an increase of 156.6% compared to the same period last year. The median sales price for homes in Wilmington NC for Dec 10 to Feb 11 was $189,000 based on 351 home sales. Compared to the same period one year ago, the median home sales price decreased 5.5%, or $11,000, and the number of home sales decreased 52.2%. There are currently 3,086 resale and new homes in Wilmington as well as 359 homes in the pre-foreclosure, auction, or bank-owned stages of the foreclosure process. The average listing price for homes for sale in Wilmington NC was $347,294 for the week ending Mar 23, which represents an increase of 1.4%, or $4,716, compared to the prior week.

In today's economy, everyone wants to get the most home for the money. Whether you are considering ocean front, golf course or quiet neighborhood cul-de-sac, finding that special home or piece of property among everything is a little easier in the Coastal Carolina’s.  Wilmington North Carolina continues to offer enough variety of properties and homes for sale to satisfy investors, new home buyers and families alike. With the vast number of communities, price ranges and home styles, anyone is sure to find the type of property they’re looking for.   Another reason to choose Wilmington is new construction.  According to Builder online Wilmington ranks number 16 out of the top 20 cities for new construction growth.  This was reported on March 3rd 2011.  The reason is simple, homes are relatively inexpensive and price appreciation didn’t get completely out of hand during the housing boom of the last decade.  So why not invest???

Wilmington North Carolina Utilties and Services

Wilmington North Carolina Utilties and Services

 

Electricity

    Progress Energy serves all of New Hanover County and portions of Brunswick, Pender and Columbus counties. The Brunswick Electric Membership Corporation supplies electricity for sections of Brunswick and Columbus counties. The town of Southport provides electricity for its community.
    Portions of Pender County are served by the Four County Electric Membership Corporation.
    Residential, commercial and industrial rates provided by Progress Energy remain competitive. About 99 percent of their electricity generation comes from coal, hydroelectric, oil, gas, propane, and nuclear fission sources.

Service Request: 1-800-452-2777
Online Info: http://www.progress-energy.com
 
Gas

    Natural Gas: Piedmont Natural Gas provides natural gas service to customers adjacent to its gas mains. This service is provided throughout major geographic sections of the city of Wilmington.
    Gas-Liquid Petroleum: Bottle and bulk gas is provided by a substantial number of private companies throughout Southeastern North Carolina. Sources are listed in the classified section of area telephone books.
 
Water
    The City of Wilmington pumps raw water from the Kings Bluff Pumping Station at the upper side of Lock and Dam No.1 on the Cape Fear River located in Bladen County. This water is received by the Sweeney Water Treatment Plant where an average of nine million gallons per day are treated and pumped to the City. The Sweeney Plant is capable of treating 25 million gallons per day. Suburban residents of New Hanover county are served by privately owned systems or individual wells.
 
Sewer

    The City of Wilmington provides sewage service and treats this sewage in either of two wastewater treatment plants. The Loughlin Plant (Northside) is designed to treat 8 million gallons per day and averages 4.5 million per day. The Maffit Plant (Southside) is designed to treat 12 million gallons per day and averages 7.5 million gallons per day.
    The community of Burgaw in Pender County has both a city water and sewer system. The towns of Topsail Beach and Surf City have water systems.
 
New Hanover County Environmental Management

    The Administration staff provides support to the three divisions within the department, handles numerous other environmental issues, and recommends solid waste planning strategies and policies. Environmental issues include: monitoring of water supplies for compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, superfund site contract administration, compliance with solid waste regulations including banned materials, conducting environmental audits, and contract administration within the department.
    The Landfill is situated on 400 acres of land in the northwestern portion of the county. The landfill operates five and one-half days per week. Operating cells of approximately five acres each are constructed and closed as needed. To protect groundwater, each cell is constructed with two or three synthetic bottom liners. Monitoring systems are provided to detect leakage between the liners. Cell closure includes the installation of a synthetic liner over the waste to prevent the infiltration of rainwater, reducing leachate generation. On-sight treatment of leachate is provided through a wastewater treatment plant.
    WASTEC is a mass burn waste-to-energy facility consisting of three boilers and two turbine/generators for electrical production and associated power plant equipment. The facility operates 24 hours per day to burn waste and generate steam. The facility was originally constructed in 1984 with expansion for a daily capacity of 450 tons per day completed in 1990. The plant was constructed as a means to decrease the need for landfilling by reducing waste volume 85 percent through incineration. The plant is capable of producing 124,000 pounds of steam per hour and supplies all the steam requirements of its steam customer. In addition, the plant supplies all the internal electrical demands to operate the plant and is capable of producing an additional 7.5 megawatts of electricity for sale to Progress Energy.
    The Recycling staff collects materials generated through the county's drop-off recycling centers and distributes backyard composters made from wooden shipping pallets. Seasonal collections include the Christmas Tree Recycling and the Phone Book Recycling programs.

Wilmington Chamber of Commerce

Wilmington Chmaber of Commerce

http://www.wilmingtonchamber.org/demographics_statistics.html

Wilmington is a 250-year-old port city, nestled between North Carolina's mighty Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. 

The city's riverbanks boast a major container seaport, a charming historical district, the Battleship North Carolina, Gothic churches, and riverfront shops.

To the south lie majestic plantations, the North Carolina Aquarium, Fort Fisher, miles of unspoiled beaches, and some of the most outstanding seafood restaurants along the Cape Fear Coast. The Wilmington area is blessed with many natural attributes, however, its most valuable asset is its people; they are warm, friendly, sincere, and productive.

Wilmington proper is the epitome of what the emerging New South is all about. Its inviting business climate has attracted giants like G.E., DuPont, and Corning, as well as smaller high-tech firms such as AAI and Pharmaceutical Product Development.

Much of the city's growth is taking place along College Road, where incidentally, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington (UNCW) is located. UNCW's Marine Science Program, ranked fifth in the world, is at the forefront of teaching.

Located downtown on the Cape Fear River is our award winning Cape Fear Community College (CFCC), offering state of the art training in a multitude of disciplines.

Although Wilmington is the largest city in southeastern North Carolina, it retains a small town atmosphere. Visitors are treated hospitably and immediately sense the strong community pride Wilmingtonians exhibit. Residents continuously strive to improve all aspects of life in the Port City, because they know it is possible for the Wilmington area to maintain the same charm and natural beauty that has been celebrated for over 250 years.
