Searching New Homes in Avon, NC You've been searching for three months. Every time something decent pops up on Zillow, it's already under contract by the time you call. The ones that stay on the market? There's a reason. Needs a new roof. Foundation issues. Smells like mildew from three feet away. Or it's listed at $550,000 for 900 square feet because the owner thinks "vintage beach cottage" means...

Searching for New Homes in Outer Banks You've been searching for new construction on Hatteras Island for two months. You see the luxury developments in Duck—five-bedroom oceanfront estates starting at $1.8 million. You see the new builds in Corolla, all targeting the vacation rental market at $900,000 and up. You check Nags Head and find a few options starting around $650,000. Then you search...

Why We're Different Drive through just about any new development on the Outer Banks and you'll see the same pitch. "Luxury coastal living." "Investment opportunity." "Rental income potential." Big signs with renderings of million-dollar homes. Marketing that speaks to people who live somewhere else and want a beach property. Nothing wrong with that. It's how real estate works in vacation...

Commuting On Hatteras You're stuck in traffic on a Tuesday morning. It's 8:47 a.m. and you've moved two car lengths in the last six minutes. The guy in front of you is on his phone. Someone behind you just laid on the horn even though there's nowhere to go. You'll be late. Again. Now picture this: you leave your house at 8:45. You're at work by 8:52. No traffic lights. No gridlock. Just you, the...

If you've been house hunting on Hatteras Island lately, you know what the market looks like. Almost everything for sale comes with rental income projections. Prime summer weeks already booked. Charts showing what you could make per year. Makes sense. Tourism drives the Outer Banks economy, and vacation rentals are how a lot of families build wealth here. They give visitors a place to stay, property owners...

The number that keeps coming up is $622,000. That's the average home price in Dare County right now. If you're a teacher making $48,000 a year or a nurse pulling in $62,000, that number might feel like a million. The math is brutal. Lenders want your mortgage payment to stay under 28% of your gross monthly income. On a $60,000 salary, that's about $1,400 a month. Factor in property taxes, insurance, and...

It's been a bit since we've posted, but only because we've been BUSY! With four homes under contract, and 7 of the 18 homes nearing completion, we're full speed ahead at Kinnakeet Villas. Hatteras Island's newest housing project and one of a kind deeded for long term occupancy only, this place to call home is truly special. With all new construction homes, this planned community offers the easiest way...
