Market Update


This month I want to highlight each town's absorption rate. Absorption rate is the number of months it would take to sell out the current inventory at the current rate of buyer demand. This figure tells us whether we are in a normal market, slow market, unstable market, etc. 


See how each town compares here.

Dwelling Policy Rate Increase 

The NC Rate Bureau has requested another rate increase less than a year from the implementation of the last rate increase. These policies affect mostly second-home or rental investment policies.


We are asking for help in this important CALL TO ACTION!

Severe Risk of 
Home Damage in Currituck 

Recently, the Corolla Civic Association sounded alarms that parts of the county may end up on the news, like Buxton. Several structures are under threat of collapse. 


See the article here. 


There is a bill in the House by NC Congressman Murphy called the Prevent Environmental Hazards Act. The bill is designed to allow NFIP to pay out claims to homes ahead of collapse for the purpose of moving or demolishing a structure before it becomes a hazard. 


The bill was gaining traction before the government shutdown, but now we need your help. As this is a federal bill, anyone from any state can call your representatives and push for this to be moved forward. 


This is just common sense!  See more information here.
