Carolina Beach

Now is an especially good time to purchase an existing home in Carolina Beach.  There is a good inventory of homes to choose from, and listing prices have actually dropped slightly since the first of the year.

The actual sales price of homes in Carolina Beach has remained steady so far in 2015, with the average selling price just a little over $260,000.  Many Carolina Beach home sellers are still making some concessions to buyers -- but don’t count on these trends to continue much longer.  The real estate market is picking up throughout the region, and Carolina Beach is no exception.
