With inventories at all time highs, it is simply a great time to buy real estate. Whether it is a homesite (lot) for future use or your primary residence, this is the best buyers market in 37 years.
Add historically low interest rates and you have a real formula for success.
As with any real estate, it is all about location, location, location. If you serve the military in the Jacksonville, North Carolina area, Dogwood Lakes offers affordable property and homes with great proximity to both Wilmington and the bases. We are an amenity community with Clubhouse and Pool. Rolling terrain, unusual for the coastal plain, gives you lots of choices for your homesite.
Our local communities, Surf City NC and Topsail Island NC provide pristine beaches for your recreational purposes: Surfing, Fishing, Boating and Swimming.
Our area schools are among the highest rated in The State of North Carolina. Abundant restaurants in Surf City and dining in Topsail Island provide many choices from land lubber to seafood expert!
Hampstead North Carolina is home to the famous Spot Festival. When it comes to land for sale in North Carolina and the timing of today's market, Dogwood Lakes is hard to beat.
Owning a home is an investment in your future. Homeowner's net worth is approximately 46 TIMES higher than the net worth of the average renter - $184,400 for the homeowner compared to just $4,000 for the renter.
When you own a home, you can deduct the property taxes and the mortgage interest from your income taxes - a huge advantage.
Lakefront living at it's finest. A community that is uniquely positioned geographically just outside the only city on the North Carolina coast - Wilmington, NC and literally 4 minutes from the drawbridge to the beach!!
Best time to buy in 37 years. Things that make you go hmmmmm.

As we have watched the volatile stock market over the past 18-24 months, many people have watched their retirement plans diminish in value - some as much as 50%.
Their are alternatives to this situation and one of the best is Real Estate. Historically, Real Estate only knows one trend and that is an increase in value. This is especially true in coastal areas such as Wilmington NC Real Estate.
"Don't wait to buy Real Estate, buy Real Estate and wait". There is a lot of truth in that.
"Buy land, they're not making it anymore" - Mark Twain in the late 1800's - that statement was true then and is even more relevant today.
If you are looking for ways to diversify your retirement plan, whether it is an IRA, 401K or other plan, purchasing and owning real property inside your plan makes a lot of sense.
This has been allowed since IRA's were incepted in 1974, yet very few people know much about it. The process is very simple, but you should have professional guidance.
One of the new buzzwords we are hearing from some of the big Securities houses is something called a Self-Directed IRA. While these companies do offer Self-Directed accounts, they are still inside the securities world - stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc.
A truly diversified Self-Directed IRA is held by a different custodian and allows for true diversification - everything from Real Estate to Livestock to Commercial Paper and much more. North Carolina Real Estate in general and the land for sale in north carolina offer great opportunities.
There are several top firms in the United States that specialize in these types of accounts. I can help you learn more about this. Call me, Charles C. Poindexter, II 910-620-4672 and I will answer your questions.
