By
Real Estate Agent with Resort Realty - Duck

It is once again time to shop for Outer Banks real estate and your home on the beach. Really. Throughout this year single family homes for sale from Corolla, Duck, Southern Shores, Kitty Hawk, Kill Devil Hills, and through Nags Head have averaged 1% above the average sales price for 2010. Considering that this is the first year out of several that the prices have not fallen, it is time for serious buyers to come back and get the best of the buys!Outer Banks at the beach

Some buyers have already taken advantage of Outer Banks real estate  once again being a good buy. The number of sales have increased 5% over 2010.

With this boring read of statistics, let me show you some exact numbers. While resort real estate remains higher than traditional home sales, just remember there is only so much beach property ... and it will continue to be in demand.
