“We finally saw the complete recovery in the upper end that just took forever to come
back from the brutal recession of 2008-2011,” Intracoastal Realty’s Vance Young says.
“The luxury market had its first real recovery year in the $1 million and above properties.
That whole market was much, much healthier. … We just had tremendous volume from
across the board.”
The number one residential sale in the tri-counties was a Wrightsville Beach oceanfront,

The sale did not best that of the previous year, but Realtors closed out the year with four
additional New Hanover County sales over $4 million, topping the previous year by two.
