Welcome fall! After a very busy summer, we’re quite happy to have some cooler temps and quieter beaches, not to mention restaurants and grocery stores! This really is the best time of year on the OBX. With the upcoming holiday weekend, we’re expecting a good number of folks down here for the Parade of Homes, homeowner association meetings, and of course, the Duck Jazz Festival.
September brought a significant increase in showing activity. Sale statistics still show things aren’t quite where we’d like them to be, but we have until at least Thanksgiving to see some new listings come up and also more properties go under contract. This month’s statistics show inventory is a bit down for the northern beaches, but sales have remained steady.
In beach news, the Wright Memorial Bridge is back to one lane traffic again which is causing some serious backups, especially on the weekends. Beware if you’re heading this way on a weekend anytime soon.
Southern Shores folks are having a bit of a heated debate over the removal of trees for road maintenance, and we’ve enclosed some articles on that topic.
And Corolla seems to be moving forward on a much needed bike and pedestrian path, which we’re hoping will be completed by next summer.
If you’re not here now, you should be! As always, please let us know if we can help with your real estate needs in any way.
Enjoy this amazing weather!
