Duck Road Construction Underway in Duck NC began Monday, October 26. This construction will improve the water issues on the road during heavy rains and consists of removing, raising, and repaving the road in the south end of Duck from about Bias Lane to Seahawk. There will be storm water chambers added to forever erridacate ourinfamous Tuckahoe Lake.

OK, so the Tuckahoe Drive issue has been fixed for some time, but I still remember the storm that dumped inches and inches on Duck and caused flooding at Tuckahoe Drive to the point that traffic was only one lane. That one lane was on the bike/walking path. Firemen were directing traffic with their tall boots on!

Multi-Use path in Duck NC

Duck Road Construction Underway in Duck NC is expected to be complete by May 14, 2010. The delays are minimal with one lane traffic at the construction area. The construction will be suspended during Thanksgiving and Christmas then again during Easter Week.

Hatteras Island Foreclosures

Kevin O'Brien: Real Estate - Other in Nags Head, NC
Like much of the Outer Banks, Hatteras Island has been hit by its share of foreclosures. Currently we find 8 bank owned homes throughout Hatteras. The homes range in price from $196,900 to $875,900. Amazingly the homes range from a 3 bedroom home in Salvo to an 8 bedroom oceanfront home in Rodanthe. Many of the bank owned homes only need minor work before they are move in or rental ready. If you are looking for an excellent opportunity on a Hatteras Island home, I recommend investigating the available Outer Banks foreclosures.

Foreclosures in the Outer Banks - October 25

Kevin O'Brien: Real Estate - Other in Nags Head, NC

Currently we are following 33 available foreclosures on the Outer Banks.  Prices range from $69,900 for a 1 bedroom home in Wanchese to a $1,975,000 oceanfront home in Nags Head.  In 2009 we have seen foreclosed homes go under contract in as few as 17 days. 

The median days on the market for sold Outer Banks foreclosures in 2009 has been 105 days.  This number has been falling as we are seeing foreclosures come on the market priced well below tax value.  If you are looking to invest in an Outer Banks home, now is an excellent time.  Foreclosures can make excellent long term investments.
