Homes in Hubert, NC
Everyone seems to have an opinion about the real estate market and if now is a good time to buy or sell. I can only tell you my experience and what I see happening here in my area of Onslow County N C.
Property values of homes in Hubert NC have increased dramatically over the last 3 years, especially the water front property in Kingsbridge II on Queens Creek. Several new homes have gone up here and sold in the $425,000 and up price range. Building lots on Queens Creek have also seen a very large increase in value with sales prices in the $175,000 and up range.
Mortgage rates are still very low in comparison to what they were just a few years ago. It has not been that long since 8% was considered a very good rate. Will they go up or down? That's any one's guess and every buyer and seller has to make the decision whether to make their move now or wait.
My personal opinion is that now is an excellent time to buy a home in Hubert NC or any other area of Onslow County. The inventory is good, sellers are ready to sell and mortgage rates are favorable.
I also believe it is a great time to buy a building lot whether you want to build now (which is a good time while building supply materials prices are down) or you want to just sit on the property for awhile. It is my opinion that Hubert NC real estate prices are not going to lose more value. The proximity to water and Camp Lejeune Marine base make this an excellent location for investment.
People have different opinions and thought and of course, ultimately the decision is yours but whatever you do, do not allow the media hype to dictate your decision concerning buying or selling real estate in Onslow County, NC. Remember the news media objective is to sell the news and bad news sells.

$265 Million Dollar Mistake
It seems that Lockheed Martin Aeronautics of Fort Worth, Texas. overcharged the U S Government $265 million dollars! An article by Bob Cox blog Sky Talk gives the details.
A billing error is what the company attributes the mistake to, but evidently this error happened time and time again.

Does our government have any check and balances? Why do these incidents with government contracts continue to occur. What can be done? Do you have any thoughts on this?

East Coast Wounded Warrior Battalion

There is a new battalion on the Camp Lejeune Marine base--it is the first East Coast Wounded Warrior Battalion. In a ceremony on Friday, June 30 it was recognized by military spouses and family, veterans and members of the community.

Lt. Tim Maxwell and his wife Shannon are the forces behind this as a result of the injuries Lt. Col. Maxwell received in Iraq in 2004. Their efforts to get a Wounded Warrior Barracks on base where the wounded could receive the care and support they needed succeeded in 2005. Still, these warriors needed more............

Read more about what the designation of the new battalion will mean to the wounded marines and sailors and their families.

It is almost ready and we are so excited--yes, the new section of Kingsbridge II located on Queens Creek in Hubert, N C will be ready for the market in about 60 days. There will be a total of 41 building lots or home sites available, 21 of which will be waterfront and the remaining 20 lots will have a water view. The setting on Queens Creek is beautiful and the view incredible, the ideal spot for a dream home

• Waterfront Lots - $99,500 to $275,000
  

• Water View Lots - $52,500 to $65,500

The location is conveniently located about 15 minutes from the back gate to Camp LeJeune Marine Base in Jacksonville, N C making it an ideal neighborhood for military families relocating to Camp LeJeune or New River Air Station. Kingsbridge II is a subdivision that enjoys the benefits of a location that is convenient to Wilmington (about 1 1/4 hours away), Jacksonville (about a 20 minute drive), Swansboro (only about 10 minutes away), Cape Carteret (maybe a 20 minute drive)and the Island of Bogue Banks (approximately 30 minutes away) which includes Emerald Isle, Salter Path, Indian Beach, Pine Knoll Shores and Atlantic Beach. This is a family oriented neighborhood with a large diversity of residents which includes families with children, retirees, empty nesters and singles.

Traveling out of the area is facilitated by easy access to Interstate 40, which is a East/West Interstate, and it feeds into the North/South Interstate 95. The new bypass around Jacksonville is a welcome addition--it is now an easier and faster trip to I-40. Ellis Airport is located outside of Jacksonville and provides flights to major hubs in Raleigh and Atlanta.

Houses in this subdivision range in size and price depending on the location. Waterfront houses tend to be in the 2800 sq. ft to 5000+ sq. ft. range with prices anywhere from $400,000 to $1,000,000. The water view homes range in size from approximately 1900 sq ft. to 3300 sq. ft and priced from $199,000 to approximately $350,000. There are older homes on the interior lots that are smaller and would be priced less but there are also some larger home in the $300,000 price range. Swimming pools are this season's most popular addition with several just completed and/or under construction.

Hubert is in one of Onslow County's most desired school districts

• Sandridge Elementary School - Located within 10-12 miles
• Swansboro Middle School - Located approx. 6-8 miles from subdivision
• Swansboro High School - Next door to the middle school

There is a very strong and widely supported soccer league is Swansboro which many children participate in. Read the article I wrote about it recently to learn more.

Jacksonville, N C is a progressive town with a strong military presence and support system. There is a wide variety of retail business with many national named stores as well as smaller, locally owned businesses. Onslow Memorial hospital continues to grow and provide the needed medical services for the greater Jacksonville area. Restaurants are plentiful and diverse. The banks and lending institutions are conveniently located throughout the town and there are many different ones.

Swansboro is a quaint, historic and picturesque town where locals and visitors enjoy strolling the streets and browsing in the unique shops. You will not find the box stores here but you will find the small, locally owned business where you will be warmly greeted, invited in and made welcome. (Wal-Green did just open a drug store here so maybe that is an exception). A stop at Yana's Ye Old Drug store for breakfast or lunch is a must--it is a trip down memory lane. A delightful town to visit or live in.

For entertainment you may want to head to Bogue Banks, a barrier island, with many public beach accesses. In Emerald Isle you will find a water slide park, a go-cart race track and a miniature golf course. On down the island to Pine Knoll Shores is where the North Carolina Aquarium is located, a wonderful, educational place to spend a rainy day. The children will love the touch tank. Head on down Highway 58 to Atlantic Beach and almost at the very end of the island you will find Fort Macon State Park. There is a huge parking lot, bath houses, picnic area and an expansive beach. There is also the old civil war fort to explore, park rangers are on duty.

If you are interested in a new home, a pre-owned home or a building lot, please take a look at what we have to offer in Hubert, N C. The new section lots are not yet listed on the website. I will be happy to talk with you and answer any question you have.
