Breaking News from the Outer Banks!

Hello from the beautiful, sunny and warm (78 degrees) Outer Banks! There are few noteworthy items to mention this month.
1. Number of sales in the area are up 24%! Land sales are showing massive improvement in numbers recently. Things here have been super busy and the best houses are going fast! It's proving to be an excellent time to buy or sell. It seems my prediction of a 15% increase over last year will be well surpassed at this rate!
2. You'll notice a change in the speed limit on parts of 158 in Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head this season. The Town petitioned the State to lower the 50 mph limit to 35 mph. A compromise was reached and approved to lower it in certain high traffic locations to 45 mph. You might need a few extra minutes to reach your destination so plan ahead and take your time this summer!
3. There's a massive campaign to fight the new legislation requiring paid permits for driving off road on Hatteras Island! For links to the articles click the link to my Facebook page on the right to read more about it and join in!
4. We're not expecting any news on the Mid-Currituck Bridge until sometime in the 2nd quarter. I would guess around June.
Stay tuned for more updates!!
