Along the Southeast Coast of Carolina!

Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Realty, The Burchfield Group

Each Fall, I am always amazed by the changes that take place on Topsail Island and, I would expect, in communities and neighborhoods up and down the coast. School reopens, vacationers head home and Harvest Festivals, county fairs and the North Carolina State Fair become the topics of conversation. It is a great time of year!

Real estate in coastal North Carolina began its recovery starting in November of 2008. Jacksonville and Wilmington have led the return to more normal market levels. Homes priced $300,000. and under move from listed to sold quickly. We continue to work our way through short sales and foreclosures out on the beach, so there are still some excellent opportunities. Our new home community in Hubert, The Highlands at Queens Creek and the homes that we have under construction in Richlands are generating sales and presales. Our community in Holly Ridge, Sage's Ridge has one of the best price points in the area, and is located midway between Wilmington and Jacksonville and only ten minutes from the beaches of Topsail Island. Prices there begin at $154,900. Sales are being driven by the $8000. tax credit, various builder incentives and an increase of military into the Jacksonville/Swansboro/Richlands/Hubert/Holly Ridge area.

So, whatever brings you to southeastern North Carolina, be it service to your country, retirement, relocation, a vacation or second home on the beach, we hope you'll consider us as a resource.
