Brunswick, established in 1745, was made a borough town in
1754, and when Brunswick County was established in 1764
it was made the county seat. In 1779 the county seat was
authorized to be moved to the plantation of John Bell near
Lockwood's Folly Bridge. In 1784 Walkersburg, named in
honor of John Walker on whose land it was situated, was
established. Provisions were made in the act for a courthouse
and other public buildings to be established there. It was
located near Deep Water Point. This act specified that the
courts were to be held at the most convenient place until the
courthouse was completed. It is doubtful that the act was put
into effect because in 1808 an act was passed authorizing the
removal of the courthouse from Lockwood's Folly to
Smithville. Court was held at the courthouse from 1805-1858.
The record does not indicate where the courthouse was. This
town, established in 1792, was named in honor of Benjamin
Smith, Governor of North Carolina, 1810-1811. In 1879 an
effort to move the courthouse failed. In 1887 Smithville was
changed to Southport. Southport served as the county seat
until 1977 when the county seat was moved to Bolivia,
following a referendum on the question.
Brunswick County was named in honor of the town of
Brunswick, which was named for King George I, Duke of
Brunswick and Lunenberg. Smithville, established in 1792,
was named in honor of Benjamin Smith, Governor of North
Carolina, 1810-1811.

Price for our economy now is a great time to own a brand new home at the beach, close to food shopping & area amenities.
Year-over-year declines in national home prices have stabilized in the 10 percent to 11 percent range, but price declines are accelerating when inflation is taken into account, according to a new analysis by First American CoreLogic.
From 1960 to 1979, inflation rose from barely more than 1 percent to nearly 14 percent. It was the greatest peacetime inflationary spike in this nation's history, and it had massive repercussions in every area of our lives. The direct consequences included Ronald Reagan's election to the presidency in 1980, stagnation in living standards, and a growing belief-both in America and abroad-that the great-power status of the United States was ending.The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath traces the origins and rise of double-digit inflation and its fall in the brutal 1981-82 recession, engineered by the Federal Reserve under then-chairman Paul Volcker and with the staunch backing of Reagan.
Home prices have declined dramatically since 1/1/09; Our market is moving, people are buying. But wait; sales are up 6.5%, inventory is down 30%, are we headed to a home inflation?
Recent studies predict we could see the effects of a inflation by 3rd quarter. Also interest rates are predicted t be back up to 6.5% by 4th quarter. I truly believe knowing my market as well as I do the best deals are being made between now & July. After that I currently agree with current predictions that we will see a bit of inflation.
