The economy, or lack thereof, is continuing to suppress the sale of high end properties across the Outer Bank of North Carolina. The first half of 2011 only brought out 3 brave souls in the town of Nags Head who had the courage to climb down off that proverbial fence to take advantage of the current situation with oceanfront home sales. And the advantage was all theirs. The average sale price for the first half of this year was down $38,000 from $984,000 where it was just one year ago to $946,000 for the first half of this year.
The decline from 9 sales in the first half of last year to only 3 closed transactions in the first half of this year is probably due to the uncertainty of the expense of a planned beach nourishment project. The corresponding tax increase along with the continuing bickering over the merits of the beach nourishment project created a lot of negative publicity which reflected in the the decline in sales and price in the Nags Head oceanfront real estate market. The fact that the beach nourishment project was done during this past summer season only helped to keep buyers at bay. The recently completed beach nourishment project has increased the size of the beaches throughout most of the town and these new beaches are creating some real deals for those looking for Nags Head oceanfront real estate.
