TOP 12 HOME SALES & FIGURE EIGHT ISLAND Of the top 12 home sales in New Hanover County, five were located on private Figure Eight Island. Just three were on Wrightsville and two in the gated Landfall community; No.6 was in Cedar Landing, while No. 12 was in Marsh Landing. The top sales prices moved a step closer to the pre-recession bust with a 37 percent increase over 2012 for the top sale in the county, which was Figure Eight Island’s dazzling 25 Backfin Point, which sold in one day. This incredible sound-front property is a compound consisting of a 7,600sf main house, with six bed-rooms, six and one-half baths plus two detached guesthouses. With both ocean and sound views and a private pier with lift and floating dock, this uniquely special property sold for $4.375 million in May. Listing and selling agent on 25 Backfin Point was Buzzy Northern, a 28-year, Figure Eight second home owner on who just came onto the local real estate scene last year with Intracoastal Realty. Ranked No. 13 in the county, Buzzy Northern is credited with seven sales for a list and sale volume of $18.5 million. He was also the listing agent on Bayberry Place. It sold for $4.150 million, mak-ing it the second top sale in the county. MLS records show it was on the market for just 57 days. The twist to the story is the buyers of 25 Backfin Point were the sellers of 10 Bayberry Place, who relocated from the oceanfront to the soundfront. They pur-chased the Backfin Point home after selling Bayberry Place, a 5,599sf oceanfront, seven-bedroom, six and one-half bath main house complete with one guest cottage. Selling agent Jim Hardee of Team Hardee Hunt and Williams describes his Bayberry Place sale to a Research Triangle Park executive and his wife. He says the reason the couple chose Figure Eight is, “Because over the course of working together for five plus years they had narrowed down their search to Figure Eight.
