Historically, the buying and selling of properties locally has always been set by the area being a beach community with lots of waterfront homes and a place for people who want a second vacation home at the beach. Other factors include buyers who take advantage of high paying federal jobs at Cherry Point and Camp Lejeune.
However, as the new Interstate 42 project comes online which will provide for a faster travel time to the local area from Raleigh, Durham, and other cities in the Triad, economic projections for the Crystal Coast indicate that a new housing boom is set to take place over the next ten years as the population nearly doubles. This will mean more people living in the area, more people establishing businesses, more people shopping and wanting second homes, and more people who will continue to seek employment at area military bases as they grow.
Each of these aspects will have considerable influences on housing valuation. In this article, we are interested in hearing from current owners of properties in the area, prospective buyers, real estate agents and other professionals, and investors about the future of prices of homes in the county be it existing properties or new construction.
