Coastwalk Real Estate continues to shine in the local real estate scene.
Did you know that Coastwalk Real Estate’s main office (Office ID 579500070) is the leading seller of beach homes in the area? That’s right, this office has SOLD more homes this year in Carolina / Kure and Wrightsville Beach combined than any other office in the area (source: Wilmington MLS 12/15/2011).
Coastwalk Real Estate’s main office is also the #1 seller of oceanfront homes in New Hanover County, with sales 26% higher than their closest competitor (source: Wilmington MLS 12/15/2011).
“We have such an amazing team of agents here at Coastwalk,” said Justin Donaton, owner of Coastwalk. “Their energy, commitment and expertise is astonishing. I’m lucky to have such a super group of people to surround myself with each day. We have a lot of fun in the office too.”
Coastwalk Real Estate is a family-owned business. Established in 1996, the company employs 17 REALTORS, and specializes in helping its clients buy and sell real estate.
“There are other real estate firms that are really good at property management, and handling rentals, so we refer this business to them. We think we’re really good at helping clients buy and sell, so that is what we focus on” said Donaton.
Coastwalk Real Estate attributes its success to: its high-impact marketing, its experience and its technology!
Coastwalk’s business model focuses on the creative implementation of technology.
“Today’s buyer has a limited amount of time to digest a tremendous amount of information,” says Donaton. “The company has excelled under these conditions by incorporating technology and processes that enable buyers to make educated decisions.”
“Our technology and our processes are also customized to those selling property, as we understand many of these properties are second homes and many of these owners live out-of-town.”
How is this done? The company utilizes high quality photographers, virtual tours, call capture technology, a dedicated call center, eMarketing and aggressive on-line advertising. They have a 28-Step Home Marketing Plan that they utilize with each of their clients.
If you list with Coastwalk, you will see your home on the most highly visited websites including REALTOR.com, Yahoo, AOL, Google and more. This is just one way they create maximum exposure for your home. Their website, www.CoastwalkRealEstate.com, is also one of the best websites in the real estate industry (check it out)!
“More exposure and proper presentation means a better price and a faster sale” says Donaton.
In addition, they can build a quality high-impact website for your home. It’s a great tool that provides a ton of pictures, a virtual tour, an aerial view, and it lists the features of your house and information on financing.
They even provide a “walkability score,” which shows the local attractions that are within walking distance, along with the proximity to schools, shopping, dining and healthcare facilities.
“In this market, we have to sell the house and the community. Buyers need to be aware of all the wonderful amenities, the parks, outdoor attractions, the restaurants, the activities and special events!” says Donaton.
Coastwalk Real Estate goes the extra mile for its clients. When a prospective buyer shows interest in your home, Coastwalk can turn the lights on, and can make sure the thermostat is comfortably set. They’ll even deliver a bottle of wine and invite buyers (with your permission) to spend some additional time inside.
“We want to make a house feel like a home,” said Donaton.
As a result of these efforts, Coastwalk Real Estate is a market leader.
“While I am proud of this accomplishment, the greater accomplishment is the success of our clients,” says Donaton. “Our clients are such advocates of our business, and we are very appreciative of this.”
To succeed in this environment it is critical to have an experienced REALTOR, great technology, and proven processes that tie the two together. At Coastwalk Real Estate, they have accomplished this.
There are a lot of great agents on the island, however if you are considering buying or selling a home, you will most certainly want to give Coastwalk Real Estate a call. They can be reached seven days a week at 910-458-9119, or visit them on-line at www.MyCoastwalk.com.

Wilmington, NC Beach Sales - Wrightsville Beach, Kure Beach, Carolina Beach
As we get close to wrapping up the year, I wanted to share a summary of beach area sales, and compare this to what we experienced in 2010.
See all beach homes for sale, click here!
Sales info below is based on Wilmington MLS data, and is for the period of January 1st, 2011 through November 30th 2011.
In Carolina Beach this year, there have been 68 single family home sales, 154 condos, and 63 parcels of land. This compares to 69 homes, 170 condos, and 36 parcels of land that SOLD during the same period in 2010.
The highest price home to sell was for $800,000, the lowest priced for $60,000. The average “days on market” for SOLD homes in Carolina Beach this year is 162. Currently there are 413 total properties for sale in Carolina Beach.
In Kure Beach this year, there have been 39 homes that have SOLD, 35 condos, and 20 parcels of land. This compares to 45 homes, 28 condos, and 14 parcels of land that SOLD during the same period in 2010.
The highest price home to sell in Kure Beach this year was $1,275,000, the lowest priced home was $79,900. The average “days on market” for SOLD homes in Kure Beach is 218. Currently there are 130 total properties for sale in Kure Beach.
In Wrightsville Beach this year, there have been 32 homes that have SOLD, 44 condos, and 4 parcels of land . This compares to 18 homes, 25 condos, and one parcel of land for the same period in 2010.
The highest price single family home to sell in Wrightsville this year was for $2,875,000, the lowest priced was $330,000. The average “days on market” for SOLD homes is 249. Currently there are 178 total properties for sale in Wrightsville Beach.
In general, I am optimistic for 2012. Prices have stabilized, which is a very import “next step” in a rebounding market. We will continue to see some foreclosures and short sales, but these prices for the most part are in line with other non-distressed sales.
We also will continue to see an influx of cash buyers, and those from the Mid-Atlantic and northeast who are buying second homes. These buyers recognize the value our areas offer.
If you would like more information at any time, please contact me at 910-352-0998.

Carolina Beach, NC Market Update

Carolina Beach Homes for Sale - click here
Wrightsville Beach Homes for Sale - click here
Wilmington Real Estate and Wilmington Homes for sale - click here
Kure Beach Homes for sale - click here
Carolina Beach is located at the southern end of New Hanover County on Pleasure Island. Pleasure Island consists of Kure Beach and Carolina Beach, and in total is about 9 miles long.
The northern portion of the island is Freeman Park, which is an undeveloped strand of beach and marshland.
The southern portion of the island is Ft Fisher State Park. This is a large protected area with a small museum, the Ft Fisher Aquarium, and the Ft Fisher / Southport Ferry. The rest is all natural with stunning beaches and walking trails. Did you know there used to be two lighthouses, and a runway in Ft Fisher?
Carolina Beach became a very popular destination in the late 90’s as Wrightsville Beach began to become very expensive. Some now like Carolina & Kure Beach more as it offers an abundance of outdoor activities, and places to enjoy them.
The Carolina Beach State Park is one of them. This is a 1,000 acre park with trails, hiking bird watching, camping and a marina.
Downtown Carolina Beach has a quaint small town feel. There are about a dozen restaurants, several bars and shopping. There is also the boardwalk which brings a nostalgic component to the town. And of course Britt’s Donuts.
The town also has a dog park, ball fields and a skate park. Surfing and kayaking are also popular activities. The town has a marina and a fleet of commercial fishing boats for charter!
As a blossoming town, Carolina Beach was susceptible to the real estate craze that hit in the early 2000’s.
Prior to the real estate boom, interior home sites on the island costs on average around $50,000. These ran up to $300,000+ during the boom, and have since fallen back down considerable.
Oceanfront lots, before the boom, were priced between $300,000 and $400,000. At the peak lots SOLD for $1,000,000+.
Carolina Beach saw its fair share of speculation and real estate investors, so the pricing curve shot up quickly. At times, homes in Carolina Beach and home sites were on the market for a matter of hours, and often multiple offers were received. It was as frenzy.
For example, in 2004 there were 908 properties that SOLD on the island (in Carolina and Kure Beach), in 2005 this number dropped to 890. In 2006 this number dropped dramatically to 329, which is a decrease of 63%.
In 2008 Pleasure Island hits its low with only 269 properties to have SOLD.
Since 2008, we have seen an increase in the number of sales, and in 2011 we are on track to see a total back near 400.
Carolina Beach is also seeing a decline in inventory. In 2006, the number of homes listed swelled near 800. Today, it’s about ½ that number.
The real estate market is far from being normal, but with the attractive prices and low interest rates, there are active buyers purchasing homes in Carolina & Kure Beach. They are purchasing primary homes, second homes and investment property.

UNCW One of Only 26 in Nation, Two in N.C. to Receive Bicycle Friendly University Designation
Below is a great press release from UNCW. If you'd like to find a home near UNCW, or Wrightsville Beach homes, then click here to search all homes on-line!
The University of North Carolina Wilmington is one of only 26 universities in the nation to be designated as a Bicycle Friendly University at the bronze level by the League of American Bicyclists. Only one other higher education institution in North Carolina, UNC Greensboro, has received this designation. The prestigious honor comes just as the City of Wilmington, which recently received a similar designation, prepares for the grand opening of the campus section of the Cross City Trail, on Friday, Oct. 14.
After careful review of an application and consultation with campus cyclists, the award was granted to UNC Wilmington for encouraging students, faculty and staff to partake in non-motorized forms of travel including commuting to campus on bicycles. This year, UNCW was one of six universities to receive the prestigious honor.
"This award is presented only to campuses with remarkable commitments to bicycling," said the director of Bicycle Friendly America program, Bill Nesper.
The option to buy bicycles and skateboards and have them custom detailed on campus is one of the numerous reasons UNCW was singled out for its commitment to sustainable transportation. Since August, several students, including studio art major Chris Bowen, have custom painted bicycles, skateboards, flip-flops and more for UNCW ECOteal, a unique campus store focused on environmentally friendly retail.
"Although the award is simply a 'designation,' it does have powerful implications in terms of developing a more bicycle friendly campus," said Tamlyn Shields, Obesity Prevention Initiative Coordinator at UNCW. "A 'bike friendly' campus aligns with the university's mission to promote health and develop a more sustainable campus."
The City of Wilmington held an award ceremony for their own designation as a Bicycle Friendly Community on the bronze level in July 2011. The city and university's unified commitment to alternate transportation will shine at the grand opening of the Gary Shell Cross-City Trail at 2:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14 in front of Trask Coliseum on Wagoner Drive. The city received $2 million in federal stimulus funding for this section of the trail.
UNCW's designation is current for four years and will be up for renewal in 2015. The League nationally publicized the announcement on Oct. 10 at the Association of Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education Conference in Pittsburg, Pa.
Groups that have been involved through the process include UNCW Obesity Prevention Initiative, UNCW Parking and Transportation, Cape Fear Cyclists, the City of Wilmington Transportation Planning, the UNCW Student Cycling Club, the UNCW Employee Wellness Committee and the UNCW Police Department.

Pirates and Topsail Beach
With Halloween right around the corner I was thinking about all the customs we’ll see and the one that is used the most being the “Pirate Costume”. That brought to mind the history of pirates and Topsail Beach North Carolina. If you’ve ever visited Topsail Island you know it’s located off the coast of southeastern North Carolina and is host to the most pristine waters anywhere. The Island its self is 26 miles long and its widest point is 1500 feet. On one side of Topsail Island you have the Atlantic Ocean and on the other you have the Intracoastal Waterway. Topsail Island is rich in history and folklore from the 1700’s is where it’s said Topsail (pronounced Tops’l) originated its name. It was during that time that pirate ships roamed these coastal waters in search of ships to attack and steal from. Thus the sailors getting smart began scanning the dune lines of Topsail Island over their topsails to spot the pirate ships thus the name, Topsail.
The most notorious of these pirates is a man named ‘Blackbeard’ also known as Edward Drummond, Edward Teach and Edward Thatch. Blackbeard was said to be over six feet tall and a master of psychological warfare. He was a scary individual that had no fear said to be the devil incarnate. Not what we picture when we dress our ‘little man’ in his Halloween costume emulating this notorious pirate. An example of his wicked nature is that he would tie cannon fuses and sulfur matches in his long beard and light them! Picturing a man standing feet taller than most with fire in his beard, pistols in hand, smoke around his head would make the most skeptical person take note. This was not a pirate you’d want to meet in any waters much less right here in North Carolina.
The most interesting part of this story is that Blackbeard left his treasure at Topsail. Of course over the years many have searched extensively without luck. Many think that the treasure of Blackbeard was found already but without proof who knows. Legend has it that Topsail Island waters are still haunted by Blackbeard’s ship which is one of the many “Ghost Ships of Topsail”. Maybe he’s still waiting for some lucky treasure hunter to find the bounty? A great new addition to the island is a Pirate Ship that cruises the Island with visitors and give you a real sense of what it was like way back when Blackbeard and other pirates cruised our waters. If you’re interested in learning more visit this website and get your ticket today: http://www.belleoftopsail.com. So if you’re like me when I see the ‘little pirate at the door on Halloween my mind will automatically be transposed to a time and place called Topsail Beach North Carolina.

When people are looking for a new place to live, they usually want to know some key facts beyond cost and number of rooms: Most notably, they are curious about what is in the neighborhood and what their commute would be like. In fact, over three quarters of home shoppers rate being within a 30-minute commute to work as important, and two thirds of home shopper’s rate being within an easy walk to grocery stores and restaurants as a key factor in deciding where to live. Additionally, two thirds of Millennial say that living in a walk able community is important and one third will pay more for the ability to easily walk to shops, work and entertainment. That is partly due to rising gas prices but also the quality of life benefits associated with walk-able neighborhoods.

You can see the demand for neighborhood information grow as more and more real estate websites such as ours at www.coastwalkrealestate.com are populating their listings with neighborhood data.

Music lovers revel in two days of non-stop jazz and blues on two stages and seafood lovers enjoy scrumptious seafood from some of the area's best restaurants. Featuring some of the area's best angling waters, Carolina Beach and Kure Beach are a sport fisherman's paradise. Anglers and onlookers alike will enjoy pier and surf fishing competitions during the Southeast King Mackerel Fall Challenge and the Pleasure Island Surf Fishing Challenge. Rent a pedal-boat big enough for the whole family at Carolina Beach Lake Park or rent a surrey bike and ride over to the Carolina Beach Marina and Fishing Center and see what the charter boats bring in.
