The Outer Banks Real Estate Market is full of properties that are "For Sale." Many are trying anything to sell them . . . price reductions, incentives, bonuses, cars, boats and even a new Hummer H3 have been attempted (The H3 worked!). Here's a creative approach to getting rid of an older home - move it! This home most likely left an oceanfront location to make way for a new home with all the bells and whistles.
Nothing takes the place of a property in great condition. This one was in a state of "demolish it" or "move it." Obviously, someone made the choice to move it. Homes like this one are usually free to anyone willing to take on the expense of moving it. A licensed house mover will give you the energy needed and perform the job for a reasonable fee. The power company will charge you plenty - this one cost $11,000 just to raise wires and other utility obstacles as it moved down the Bypass towards it's new location on the westside of Kill Devil Hills.
After arriving at it's new home, this house will be professionally renovated; brought up to current building codes and hopefully, find a new family!
To sell your home, you will need to make its appearance look the best it can . . . buyers are really critical! If you cannot attract them from the street, you have lost the battle before you even start. Another crucial weapon is effective marketing from your Realtor -- great photos, effective marketing campaigns, exposure on mulitple web sites, and the ability to reach a nationwide and even a worldwide audience.
