<p>We&#8217;ve really moved beyond that and are urging buyers to take advantage of the near record low interest rates and also the bargains that are right here at the beach.  People are looking and people are buying so please don&#8217;t miss the good ones and regret it later! I have seen a great uptick in activity in recent weeks. I had three appointments with interested buyers just this past Saturday alone!</p>
<p>In my 30 plus years in Real Estate in the area I have never seen such an opportunity. I know the media is &#8220;selling&#8221; gloom and doom but if you are looking for a great investment property or have dreamed of one day owning your own beach or golf course community home or condo there really couldn&#8217;t be a better time to make a move.</p>
<p>Almost all news networks are reporting that major economists are speaking of &#8220;green shoots&#8221; appearing in the financial markets and most particularly in the housing market. Yes! <img src='http://coastalnc.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Any &#8220;on the fence&#8221; buyers need to cross over and take advantage of the low prices of beach and golf real estate as well as the incredible interest rates currently being offered.</p>
<p>You might have seen the television commercial lately showing people kicking themselves, one after the other, and the ad wraps up by saying you might kick yourself later on if you don&#8217;t take advantage of buying real estate in this market.</p>

<p>This beautiful coastal and golf area is and always has been an incredible and fun place to vacation and it is also a terrific environment in which to own property.<!--more--> Whether you envision a second home on the Island or at one of the area signature golf courses, the fun factor and the investment potential for you remains strong.</p>
<p>You might be amazed at the rental income one of these homes can generate while you get to vacation here also.</p>
<p>Some of you may have witnessed drops in your own home equity values or may be nervous because you have heard so much, for so long, about soft real estate markets – and you are understandably concerned.</p>
<p>While the market here has slowed somewhat it has held up much better than in other areas of the country. What this means is that as the economy improves nationwide the market in this area is apt to rebound much quicker. This could mean a great opportunity for those looking for a great investment.</p>
<p>Knowing the market where you plan to buy and determining the true value of any property under consideration (based on past sales and not necessarily the current asking price) will assure that you make the right decision and make your purchase at the right price.</p>
<p>Selling real estate at Ocean Isle Beach and this entire gorgeous area for the last almost 30 years has just been a wonderful life and I am truly grateful to have ended up here!  If you are looking to invest in real estate in this area I would love to sit down with you and share my knowledge and expertise as an Accredited Buyer Representative of the National Association of Realtors with you.</p>
<p>We can discuss the boundaries of the market, locate the best property for you, purchase it at the best price possible, and finally help you put the correct financing in place by relentless comparison shopping!</p>
<p>At your leisure I invite you to visit my website at <a href="http://www.pope-realestate.com" target="_blank">pope-realestate.com</a> and click on the local MLS logo to check out what’s for sale currently. I welcome any questions or requests at any time!</p>
