Local Market Statistics
There are currently 5005 single-family homes for sale in New Hanover, Pender and Brunswick Counties. In the last 6 months (9/5/09-3/7/10), 1875 homes have sold. These numbers indicate that if NO other homes are listed for sale that there is approximately 16 months worth of inventory.
During the last week (3/1/10-3/7/10):
- 242 Homes were listed FOR SALE
- 81 Homes went UNDER CONTRACT
- 58 Homes SOLD
- 102 Homes FAILED to SELL (Withdrawn or Expired)
The increase in inventory is partly due to homeowners that were planning on selling and decided to wait until the Spring Market to list their homes. We should begin to see an increase in homes under contract and sold as the Home Buyer Tax Credit reaches it's expiration.
Please note all of these statistics are based on single-family residential homes for sale in New Hanover, Pender and Brunswick Counties.

Wilmington Random Acts of Kindness
Meghan Riley is a friend of mine and we sell real estate together, she asked me last week about starting a group focused on random acts of kindness. She has since started a group for the Wilmington area. 
I am extremely excited about this, I have two boys and everyday I ask them to do something kind for someone. These can be small acts such as opening a door, picking something up that was dropped, etc. My idea for them was to help build their self esteem; I believe that when we do something kind for someone else it not only makes the receiver feel good but the giver also.
