In the month of September, the Outer Banks has several great sporting events that are taking place.

The first weekend of September (Sept 1 – Sept 3) the Bud Light Lime Surf Series will be at Jeanette’s Pier.  This tour includes the top 32 men and 8 women from various surf genres.    Head to the beach and cheer on your favorite surfer.
September 12Th – 15Th is the Hatteras Wave Jam.  This is the American Windsurfing Tour and Hatteras should be an excellent stop.
Wave conditions in the area are likely to provide some of the best action found in the US. 
September 15Th is the All Out Pink Road Race, a 12K Bridge Run & 5K plus Garden Yoga and Pilate’s.   This event is presented by Outer Banks running Club and Outer Banks Bootcamps and hosted by the Elizabethan Gardens.  100% of the event proceeds will provide mammograms to locals that do not have access to health care.   This event has something for everyone and is a great way to spend the day with the family.

5 Reasons Listing your Home this Fall is a great choice!

Every year we see a surge of listing activity in the Spring, as expected, and then another surge again in the Fall.  These are by far the two best times to have your home on the market.  Statistics prove that activity is greater in March, April, May and again September, October, November.

So if you’ve thought about selling your Outer Banks home, it’s definitely time to get started!  Take a look…

  1. You’ve collected all the rental income!  Why carry the home through the winter?
  2. If you’re facing a Capital Gain, right now the tax rate is 15% which is scheduled to change to 20% starting January 1, 2013.
  3. Why go through the hassle of winterizing and re-preparing the home next year?  Sell now and let the buyer take care of that.
  4. Inventory is down 24% and number of sales up 17% compared to this time last year.  That’s a much better environment to sell your home in!
  5. Buyers get the bug while on vacation and then come back in the Fall when access to the home is easier.  You’ll have eager buyers ready to deal so they can spend the holidays here.

Consider these facts, then give me a call/email for a FREE analysis of your home.
