Lumina Avenue #2D 225,000 39 Fourteen condo-tel units at Shell Island sold through Realtors in 2013. Wilmington. I think they have seen the drop in values as an opportunity to buy a beach home. From the Wilmington area, some younger families that like the school down here take advantage of the lower pricing and relocate full time,” Justin Donaton says. “We are seeing a husband and wife; they got married at 25, bought a house or a condo somewhere in Wilmington. They sold it for $200,000 and then they are coming down here buying a four-bedroom, three-bath, 1975 ranch for $300,000, but it is like, ‘Hey, I am at the beach.’ They like their flip-flops. The condos and duplexes, a lot of those people, it is your stereotypical middle-aged family from Raleigh with their golden retriever and their white picket fence and two kids that play soccer. And they want to be close to the beach, that is why they are buying. When you get into the upper echelon of properties, it is not the Wilmington family, not the RTP, it is Northeast money coming down here to buy their retirement home. We sold a $1.7 million house to a guy who lives in China, his son and daughter live in Charlotte and he is a banker in China and he wanted a beach house for his kids.” Chris Livengood, Intracoastal Realty Corporation Vice President of Sales, sums up the area real estate market: “2013 represented a good recovery year for our market place, by my measure the fifth best year in history,” he says. “Volume grew to the highest level since 2008. Interest rates continue at near-historic lows. The inventory of distressed properties (short sales and foreclosures) decreased. The total market inventory shrunk to a six-to-seven months of supply level with pockets of real estate beginning to show modest price increases as a result.” 70 WBM february 2014
