One of the most desirable North Carolina areas is in Hampstead. What a perfect location. In between the waterfront and the Holly Shelter Game Land, you can probably see in your mind’s eye the beautiful coast and equally desirable park landscape. For outdoors people, the Holly Shelter, with almost 50,000 acres promises true wild life, plant life, and endless natural habitats. Also for the outdoors people, the coastal life promises relaxation and a high quality of life. Forbes recently listed Hampstead as No. 20 across the US as retaining the highest levels of home equity. Those are reasons enough to visit Hampstead homes and look into the real estate opportunities.

Well it goes to show you that when you hear the “doom and gloom” from the media it pays to look a little deeper and see if the news pertains to you.  We have heard lately from the media that median home price has plummeted for home owners.  Well that is not exactly true.  Zillow Real Estate Market Reports show that 30 of the 163 metropolitan statistical areas actually showed gains in median value.  Yes, I said gains.  Of those areas the real estate in Jacksonville, NC showed the largest increase.  Zillow is quoted in saying, “The best performing metropolitan area was Jacksonville, N.C., where home values rose 4.9% year-over-year to $139,261 in the first three quarters of the year.”

One of the great secrets in North Carolina is the permanent livability of the area, especially Topsail Island real estate. The southeastern side is coastal and promises one of the highest quality areas of community and lifestyle. The beaches are pristine and uncrowded, safe from the crowds who inadvertently destroy the land and surroundings. Another great reason to join the locale is the image of “paradise” the residents use to describe themselves. Do some research into Topsail Island homes and you’ll find affordability, accessibility, and a lifestyle people want and need.

You don’t have to go to California or Florida when you want to buy a house, condo, or townhouse near the beach. Carolina Beach in North Carolina is a secret gem you will never want to leave.
