Outer Banks Real Estate Sales

Corolla Real Estate Sales Update for 2008

Greg Cremia (Shore Realty of the Outer Banks) — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:46:31 -0700

The Corolla real estate market continues on it's downward slide. Although the number of sales has leveled off the prices are still falling.

It doesn't help when the lenders label an area as "declining" and make it harder to get a loan there than it does for borrowers just on the other side of the county line. And now the banks are dumping their foreclosures at stupidly low prices which just hurts the market even more.

If you are in the market for an Outer Banks foreclosure you can steal a property but be sure you have done your homework and are ready to move quickly because they are selling fast.

There are still plenty deals available but who knows how much longer before the high prices become the norm again. The statistics below are from the Outer Banks Association of REALTORS.

Nags Head 2008 Real Estate Sold Statistics

Greg Cremia (Shore Realty of the Outer Banks) — Tue, 05 May 2009 14:27:37 -0700

While the overall number of Nags Head residential property sales is still down below the historic highs of the boom years, the prices in most areas of Nags Head have started to make a rebound.

The median prices for properties located between the roads in Nags Head is now higher than it was in 2005 and the average price is back at 2004 levels.

Likewise the median price for a residential property located on the west side of Nags Head is higher than it was in 2004, which was a banner year and the average price is almost where it was in 2005.

The Nags Head oceanfront continues to suffer both in sales volume and in price. Part of the problem has to do with the expense of the high end loans and part of the problem is the ongoing debate over beach nourishment. All of the publicity surrounding beach nourishment is scaring buyers away from some of the best beaches available.

There are still deals available but who knows how much longer before the high prices become the norm again. The statistics below are from the Outer Banks Association of REALTORS.

Duck Real Estate Sold Statistics

Greg Cremia (Shore Realty of the Outer Banks) — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 11:17:31 -0700

Real estate sales in Duck continue to lag behind the glory days of the boom time. However, the prices continue to hover around the same level as in the boom years of 2003 and 2004. For sellers, there is hope to sell your house if you have the ability to price it accordingly. Prices have rolled back to around the 2003 mark, so those who bought before this time should have enough equity to complete a transaction.

Outer Banks Foreclosures

Greg Cremia (Shore Realty of the Outer Banks) — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 12:27:35 -0800

The Outer Banks real estate market is feeling the pinch of the economy along with everybody else and we are seeing foreclosures show up here and there. The down fall has not been as dramatic here as it has been in some other parts of the country but Outer Banks real estate prices have fallen to 2003 levels and lower.

The advantage of having solid summer rental income and an affluent clientle has helped the real estate market on the Outer Banks weather the storm fairly intact. Still, foreclosures are here and there are deals available for those brave souls willing to ignore the media's doom and gloom picture.

The interest rates have never been better and there are loans available. Don't believe all of the stories about the banks not lending money. If your credit is good and you can afford the downpayment and monthly mortgage payments then there are home loans available with low interest rates.

To help follow what is going on with Outer Banks foreclosures and short sales I have compiled some information outlining some of the peculiarities when dealing with foreclosures and bank owned real estate. You will also find a list of Outer Banks foreclosures currently on the market. Buying foreclosed houses is not hard as long as you know what to watch out for and you can't beat the deals.

Duck North Carolina Real Estate Sales Rebound

Greg Cremia (Shore Realty of the Outer Banks) — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 11:34:03 -0700

There is good news about the real estate market on the Outer Banks. Despite all the bad news you might hear in the media, property values are NOT crashing down around us. Let's look at the property values in Duck, NC.

In the time frame between January 1 and Oct 1, 2007 the median price for an ocean side residential/rental property has gone up 21.5% to $715,000 from $587,500 in 2006. In the same time frame the average price went up nearly 20% from $700,206 in 2006 to $838,953 this year.

The inventory of homes for sale is still at an all time as as owners are trying to cash in on the equity they accumulated over the last 5 years. This makes shopping for a home much more enjoyable. Sellers still have to compete with all of the inventory so they are willing to do repairs that they would not have done in years past and you don't have to worry so much about losing a home because you tried to get the seller to make a deal.

View the inventory of Duck real estate for sale and be sure to use the mapping feature and the satellite view of the homes.

The New Link Farm

Greg Cremia (Shore Realty of the Outer Banks) — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 00:51:29 -0700

Google just penalized a bunch of sites for reciprocal link scams. This is where people try to get a bunch of back links pointing to their site to improve their rankings. Back links are a good way to increase your internet exposure but caution must be taken to avoid getting penalized.

If you get too many back links too fast it might start to look like you are gaming the system. If you participate in some of the link farms it is definitely going to look suspicious.

Right now on Active Rain there are people colluding to give each other back links. It looks innocent enough but are we looking a the new link farm? Will google be able to see through the ploy and who will get penalized? Active Rain or the link farmers?

Ocracoke Chosen As Top Beach

Greg Cremia (Shore Realty of the Outer Banks) — Sun, 01 Jul 2007 00:34:42 -0700

Dr. Beach has chosen the 14 miles of undeveloped ocean front beach on Ocracoke Island as the #1 beach in the country. Most of Ocracoke is in the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and is protected from development.

This is the first time that a beach was chosen that was not in Florida or Hawaii. Each beach can only be chosen once and then it is no longer in the competition. Ocracoke has made the top 10 list before but after this first place it will not be eligible in the future.

I just spent a week there and it truly is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the beach. There is not much to do on Ocracoke so you had better enjoy the beach or it is not for you. For those staying on the northern Outer Banks, Ocracoke makes a good day trip with a free ferry ride and a quaint village.

Chicamacomico Life Saving Station Reenactment

Greg Cremia (Shore Realty of the Outer Banks) — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 22:45:35 -0700

The Chicamacomico Life Saving Station Historic site in Rodanthe will be reenacting life saving techniques used back in the 1800s. Every Thursday at 2:00 pm the staff will shoot the Breeches Buoy. This is what was used to rescue people stranded on ships that had run aground.

When a sail boat ran aground in a storm it was still 200 to 300 yards off the shore in a raging storm. The lifesavers would try to row a skiff out to the boat but if the sea was too rough they would use the Breeches Buoy. The breeches buoy was rigged up like this.

A small cannon was used to shoot a small line out to the ship. Members of the crew would use this small line to pull a large line on-board the ship and rig it up to the mast. Then with a system of pulleys they would pull the breeches buoy back and forth from the ship to the shore unloading the passengers one at a time. These lifesavers save many lives like this and you can experience it yourself. For more information call 252-987-1552 or visit www.chicamacomico.net.

Residents Opposed to Roanoke Island Water Expansion

Greg Cremia (Shore Realty of the Outer Banks) — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 22:23:49 -0700

Most of the residents on Roanoke Island do not have municipal water and rely on wells for drinking water. Dare County is planning to expand the water system to include these areas. The expansion is not being received very well by the residents who will be getting the water hookups.

The fear of high density development and the cost of the hookups is causing most of the residents to oppose the water expansion. Currently, the use of wells requires lot sizes to be fairly large. This is to keep the wells far enough away from the septic systems to avoid contamination of the wells. With central water, the lot size can be smaller and more can be built which leads to higher density.

The water expansion will bring fire hydrants to areas that currently do not have any. With this in mind it will be interesting to see if the county proceeds with the water expansion in the face of so much opposition.

Greg Cremia (Shore Realty of the Outer Banks) — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 21:40:49 -0700

The Kill Devil Hills board of commissioners has approved the first affordable housing complex for Kill Devil Hills. With the shortage of affordable housing for the local workforce this will help ease the strain on some working families. 15 units of the 20 units will be designated as "workforce housing."

The town will waive most of the fees to help the developer keep the costs down. The project will be monitored by the Dare County Community Development Corporation to ensure that compliance continues and that the affordable housing is not abused.
