Reasons You Should Consider OBX Real Estate

admin — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 20:27:39 +0000

With the temperatures slowly rising, now is the time to start looking at the beautiful houses that Outer Banks Real Estate has to offer, whether it’s a summer rental property or a home to call your own all year round. Here at Élan Outer Banks Real Estate sales we welcome you to become a part of our one of a kind community and invite you to share in the natural beauty and unique lifestyle that the Outer Banks has to offer. To entice you even further, here are just a few of the area’s top attractions:
1) Kill Devil Hills became the birthplace of flight, on December 17, 1903, when the Wright brothers made their first two flights. It was the first successful, powered, piloted flight in history. This first, heavier-than-air flight traveled one hundred twenty feet in twelve seconds. Visit one of the most historically rich areas of the OBX, the Wright Brothers National memorial in Kill Devil Hills.

2) Jockey’s Ridge is the tallest natural sand dune system in the Eastern United States. It is located in Nags Head and is often referred to as “The Living Dune” because the shifting winds are constantly shaping the sandy dunes. Take in the exquisite views of each of the three ecosystems: the dunes, the maritime thicket and the Roanoke Sound Estuary. If you invest in Outer Banks Real Estate this natural beauty could be right down the street!

3) The breathtaking Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo were created as a living memorial to Sir Walter Raleigh’s lost colonists, who lived in the very place over four centuries ago. If you live in the Outer Banks year round you will get to witness the gardens in their glory over the four seasons. They host events every season such as the Easter Eggstravaganza, Harvest Hayday and Winterlights.

4) If you are an adventurer at heart with a need for speed and excitement, the Outer Banks is the place for you. It’s a wonder you haven’t talked to any Outer Banks Real Estate companies yet! Whether you like surfing, paddle boarding, kite boarding or swimming, the Outer Banks is sure to keep you on your feet. The adventure never ends with countless opportunities to go sailing, jet skiing, hang gliding, parasailing and much, much more.

5) Cape Hatteras Lighthouse on Hatteras Island is the tallest in the nation and a famous symbol of North Carolina. The beacon from its light can be seen over 20 miles out to see and has served as a warning for sailors for more than 100 years. It guides ships away from the shallow sandbars that extend 14 miles out into the ocean off Cape Hatters that are appropriately named the treacherous Diamond Shoals. One glimpse at the grandeur of that lighthouse in Hatteras and that’s all it will take before you’re calling an Outer Banks Real Estate company.

There are many reasons to visit or live in the OBX, and these do not even begin to explain why so many people have chosen to call it home. The Outer Banks has been a favorite vacation spot for over a hundred years. When most people come here on vacation, they seem to never want to leave. And why should they have to? Why not consider making Outer Banks your home away from home? Talk to your trusted Outer Banks Real Estate company today, Élan Real Estate.

The Charming Appeal of Duck, NC

admin — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 20:24:29 +0000

If you’re looking for somewhere quiet and quaint to live or vacation, look no further than Duck, North Carolina. The seven miles of its picturesque, uncrowded beaches have been ranked among the top in the nation. Tucked away and secluded among the northern Outer Banks towns, it is bound in by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Currituck Sound to the west. Despite the growth over the past years seen Duck NC real estate has seen, Duck remains a charming resort town.
Duck has been named by the Travel Channel as one of the best family beach destinations in the United States. According to them, “Duck’s relative solitude and its vast array of neatly constructed rental homes make it ideal for families. That is, unless your family likes to go bar hopping until the wee hours, in which case you may be out of luck…. Still, while we admit Duck would never make the list for top spring break party spots, boredom is hardly a threat here.”
Even though Duck didn’t officially become a town until 2002, don’t think for a minute that you’ll be left with nothing to do. Most people who are living in the Outer Banks now make a point of stopping by the Duck shops. All of the stores in Duck are locally owned and operated so if you need to find any unique gifts or souvenirs for those unlucky ones left at home, here is the place to do it. There are several shopping centers that are clustered together in the village so that your shopping excursion can be done on foot. Duck boasts a gourmet market, a produce stand, women’s boutiques, watersports gear and outdoor clothing, bookstores, toy stores, art galleries, gift shops and many others.
Water sports are big in Duck, both on the sound and the ocean. Whether you like to swim, surf, kayak, there is something for everyone here. For the adventurer, there is sailing, parasailing, jet skiing and wind surfing. Even if relaxing on the beach with your toes in the sand or combing the beaches for seashells is more your speed, Duck is the perfect place to be for that as well. And, if privacy is a concern while you’re looking at Duck NC Real Estate, you’ll be surprised to learn that the Town of Duck has no public beach access. Only those staying in local accommodations or those who own any Duck NC real estate or vacation rental homes can access the beach, granting solitude and serenity to its residents.
There are many communities in Duck to look at when considering Duck NC real estate. Located within a short walk of the shops and restaurants of Duck are places like Saltaire, Poteskeet Village and Bias Shores. Bayberry Bluffs rentals are located on the Oceanside near the heart of the village of Duck. Also, check out Sanderling, Four Seasons and Caffey’s Inlet among many others.
If you want to live or vacation in a quiet, naturally beautiful community and still have access to fun activities and top notch restaurants, shops, then considering Duck NC real estate is a great first step for you. Check out our website for many amazing houses in Duck available.

Thinking About Buying OBX Real Estate?

admin — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 15:25:07 +0000

Are you thinking about buying OBX real estate? As the 2013 vacation season approaches, now is an excellent time to seriously consider this excellent opportunity. Last year’s numbers were great and showed that the bottom of the real estate market has come and gone. A comparison of 2012 to 2011 showed that there was a 12 percent increase in the number of sold homes in 2012 (OBX Association of Realtors). In terms of the vacation market, thousands flocked to the Outer Banks ready for some quality summer time fun.
For this year, we are anticipating the continued growth in both the rental and sales market. “We were very happy with how things turned out in 2012 and are excited to get this year in motion,” says Carolyn Hickok, Broker/Realtor at Élan Real Estate Sales.
The Outer Banks is a place that draws at the soul of its guests who end up wanting to either move here permanently or, at least, have a summer home here as a vacation or rental property. In fact, this is how many full-time residents end up here. One comment we hear from our guests has to do with whether people live here year round. The answer is a resounding YES!! There are, in fact, over 57,000 full time residents who live in Dare and Currituck Counties.
As for the perfect town on the Outer Banks, each one caters to a different buyer. While there are vacation rental properties in each town, most of the full-time residents live in Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills, Kitty Hawk and Southern Shores. The options available are numerous. Hickok says that, “approximately half of the residential properties are vacation rental investments.”
In terms of list prices, potential buyers should anticipate the spectrum to be between $200,000 and about $4 million with a wonderful selection of quaint cottages, bungalows and large multi-million dollar vacation homes. No matter the purpose of buying real estate, potential buyers can expect to find homes listed between somewhere around $200,000 and about $4 million.

There is something to be said for living in the Outer Banks. People who vacation in the Outer Banks always dream of living there. For the approximately 35,000 people who are lucky enough to make their home here, living in the Outer Banks is like living on island time 24/7. In fact, many who move here do so after vacationing here for years.

The people who live here revel in everything that is the Outer Banks. One of the most popular activities in the Outer Banks is, without doubt fishing. From inshore and surf fishing to heading out into the open waters to fishing off one of the piers, most islanders inevitably spend time casting their lines into the water to see what delicacy they can reel in for dinner.

Water activities are always favorite pastimes of the people who live here. When not at work, most residents are out on boats, surfing, or simply relaxing on the beach. Everyone who lives in the Outer Banks loves it here and thrives outside. That is why they are called ‘beach bums!’

Aside from the water and fishing, arts and history play a big role in the culture of the Outer Banks. The first colony was settled on Roanoke Island, the Wright Brothers invented the airplane here, and the list goes on. Artists create beautiful works of art featured in galleries throughout the area.

If you are thinking of buying real estate in the Outer Banks, the best thing to do is spend some time here and get a feel for the culture. Each town has a different atmosphere and offers a different vibe. From the newness of Corolla real estate to Nags Head real estate and its draw to residents who live here year round, you will find the perfect place to call home.

Whether the immediate goal is to find a second home or to move here permanently, the Outer Banks offers a life that is truly living on island time 24/7. Take advantage of it and enjoy life at the beach.
