Great look at kayaking on the Outer Banks

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011 at 5:10pm. 187 Views, 0 Comments.

Here is a great article on BlueRidgeNow.com about kayaking on the Outer Banks.  My favorite line from the article was, "I did appreciate the wide-open wild nature of the banks, but didn’t as much like the wind that sent sand into every corner of the tent that night."  Anyone who has camped along the Outer Banks especially on some of the NPS oceanfront campgrounds like Ocracoke, has dealt with the wind.  Though the wind can be bad, it is much preferred to no wind.

Here is an excellent recap from the Outer Banks Voice on the Town of Nags Head's proposed tax changes. 

Nags Head sets hearing for new tax districts

Nags Head is moving forward with setting up two municipal service districts to help pay for beach nourishment.

Establishing the oceanfront districts, where property owners will pay higher taxes, will create another option for paying off a $10 million bond.

The town’s preference appears to be using money from a special oceanfront assessment, but so far a petition drive asking oceanfront property owners to agree to it has not met all the legal requirements.

Outer Banks Sold Homes Statistics for October 2010

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010 at 5:24pm. 193 Views, 0 Comments.

October was an interesting month for home sales in the Outer Banks.  October was the second straight month with over 100 homes sold.  This is an encouraging factor for those looking to sell their Outer Banks home.  

An interesting change we saw was distress homes sales, foreclosures and short sales, accounting for only 31% of all residential sales.  This is down from over 40% in August and September. 

We are continuing to see the total inventory of available homes decline.  As the number of homes decline we are also seeing the absorbtion rate go down.
