5 Reasons Listing your Home this Fall is a great choice!
August 13, 2012 By Ilona
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…
- You’ve collected all the rental income! Why carry the home through the winter?
- 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.
- Why go through the hassle of winterizing and re-preparing the home next year? Sell now and let the buyer take care of that.
- 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!
- 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.

Outer Banks Update July 24, 2012
July 24, 2012 By Ilona
Sales activity continues to be higher than last year. June finished with a 19% increase of sold properties over June 2011. Properties going under contract are still on the rise as well. Typically the summer months see a bit of a slow-down in activity, which we have, yet still maintained the increase. I suspect the Fall Market will be very strong indeed.
Pricing seems to be stabilizing. Some towns are still declining while others are holding steady. For specific information on your location send me an email and I’ll get you a report.
The study on erosion in Duck is underway and the results of Phase I of this study will be presented to the public on August 15th at 1 pm. For more information click here.
There is no new news on the Mid-Currituck Bridge. We’re not expecting any updates until the end of this quarter.
