I wanted to take a moment a list a few of the things that I am personally seeing in the Wilmington NC Real Estate Market. I have attached a link to an article in today's Star News stating that homes sales were down almost 28% in Wilmington, NC in 2008. I feel most people are aware of this, but I would like people to also know that good things are happening, and real estate is selling.
- Buyers can afford more home with lower interest rates
- First-time buyers can take advantage of $7500 tax credit
- There is inventory available for first-time buyers. I recall when there was little inventory available under $150,000. Now there are options out there.
- Although there is lots of inventory to choose from, inventory has declined since 2007.
- Buyers are out there in the market and purchasing homes.
There is activity in the market place. People are buying and selling homes. Wilmington NC is a desireable relocation destination. I believe staying positive, staying focused, and working hard, will continue to show positive results regardless of the overall market conditions.

Ingrid,
I will definitely keep you in mind. I have two sons who are avid outdoorsmen who just love your area. They were up that way just a few weeks ago. I am happy to assist anyone you may have relocating to the Wilmington NC and surrounding areas.
