She's such a Cutie Pie 🥧!

Beautifully maintained, fully furnished, less than a mile from the bridge to gorgeous Sunset Beach, this lovely home is positioned in Seaside Station on a wooded lot next to a neighbor that makes the B.E.S.T. P.I.E.S. E.V.E.R.! So if you are working on that perfect beach body swipe right because this cutie pie will not help you reach those #beachbodygoals.

She is move in ready, fully furnished, beach chairs and all. Bring your flip flops and toothbrush and you'll be all set to enjoy the 67 degree weather in February. The storage building in the back even offers everything you need to take care of the yard. But you'll find it's pretty low maintenance.

Her interior isn't the only thing looking sharp. Her price is pretty snazzy too at a cool $140,000. Yep, that's all it takes to get you less than a mile away from the bridge to the gorgeous sands of #SunsetBeachNC, less than 30 minutes from all the entertainment of #MyrtleBeach, or explore the other #NCBrunswickIslands all within 20 minutes up the coast of North Carolina.

So come on over for an exclusive tour and let's grab fish tacos, a salmon BLT, or spinach quiche, and an ice cold beverage at Fibber's down the street after the tour to write up the offer.

Can't wait to see you in Sunset Beach. You're going to love it here.

Chilling 🧊 Previews of The Hottest 🔥 Townhomes + Condos in the Brunswick Islands 🌊

Wowza! I'm not sure why Niki and I picked one of the coldest Tuesdays of the year to go hunting for the hottest 🔥 townhomes and condos that Brunswick Islands have to offer, but we did and it was awesome!

We survived the chill as we ventured from Sunset Beach all the way to Oak Island for the very first edition of Townhouse Tuesday. Yippee!

The journey ends at dusk with a gorgeous sunset off the master bedroom balcony of my favorite townhouse of the day. So be sure to stay tuned until the end.

Enjoy the 36 minute tour and check out all the juicy details of these gorgeous properties in the wrap up below.

If there is a townhouse, condo, single family home, or even a piece of land you'd like me to preview for you, I'm only a text, email, DM/PM, or better yet a phone call away - 910-518-5377.

The condos in The Regency at Sunset Beach feel SOOOO much larger than 1,840 square feet. The rooms are incredibly spacious for this floor plan size and don't even get me started on the size of the GINOURMOUS balconies overlooking the pool and community dock on the Intracoastal Waterway.

Beautiful ICW water views, loads of amenities, minutes from Sunset Beach. Yay!

The only negatives compared to other townhomes/condos we viewed this Tuesday were there is no covered parking or garage and the design and style of finishes were a little dated compared to other homes this day. However most of this week's tour was new construction. All in all, The Regency at Sunset Beach was really impressive for the existing condo inventory on the market.

Is the Brunswick County Real Estate Market on 🔥 in 2020?

You betcha! 💪

“While Brunswick County’s real estate market has been consistently strong over the past couple of years, I was caught off guard by January’s sharp increases in homes sold and sales volume,” said BCAR CEO Cynthia Walsh. “Prices are up, and homes are continuing to sell quickly as we move toward Spring.”

Uh...yea! To the tune of a 60.1% spike in sales volume and 42.3% jump in units sold.

Crazy huh?

The average sales price 12.5% from $257,555 to $289,675. 🤩🤩🤩

Attention Buyers: If these trends continue as predicted the longer you wait the more you will pay for a home in Brunswick County. Purchase a home now while interest rates remain at near a historic low. Check rates by clicking here. If you contact Brian be sure to tell him Jess sent ya :). As him about his FHA and USDA programs with as little as 3% down. Oh and here are 3 great reasons to get pre-approved today.

Attention Sellers: If you watched the video you probably know by now it is a FABULOUS time to sell your home.

Especially if your home is priced under $200,000. There is a lack of inventory in Brunswick County in this price range.

Remember this "cutie pie 🥧"? She had showing requests within an hour of it hitting the market and offers on the first day. Bananas! 🍌🍌

If you follow my 3Ps (Price. Presentation. Promotion) then you will probably sell within the first week on market with multiple offers.

Here are a few other interesting stats for Brunswick County homes sales in January 2020.
