Just closed for 💯 % of asking, $1 million, in 36 days on the south end of Topsail Beach.

Thank you to my friend for referring me to his parents for the sale of their beach home on the South end of Topsail Beach.

Lovingly maintained with views of the Sound and Atlantic Ocean, a block from each, such a comfortable and lovely home.

There is something special about South Topsail that reminds me of when I was younger. It hasn’t changed that much. Beautiful water. White sand big beaches. A coffee shop, a few restaurants. Roller skating, mini golf, ice cream.

This home was special to its owners, and I will miss it too.

Win win for everyone involved. Congratulations to the buyers-may you enjoy many happy memories there. And thank you to the sellers for trusting me with such a special sale.

🌊 JUST LISTED in Seabrooke | 8327 Highcroft Drive NE, Leland

Some homes check the boxes. This one tells a story.

Built in 2023 and meticulously maintained, this 4 bedroom, 3 full bath Bristol plan gives you 2,417 square feet of bright, open living — with the main living space AND the primary suite on the ground floor. The primary is a true retreat: large bath, walk-in shower, and dual walk-in closets.

Upstairs, a freshly painted loft is ready to become your media room, home office, or play space, plus a private bedroom and full bath that make guests feel like they have their own wing.

A few of my favorite details:
✔️ Custom built-ins in living room
✔️ Open Floor Plan with Primary Living on 1st Floor
✔️ Fully fenced backyard with privacy fence
✔️ 2-car garage

And Seabrooke itself delivers: community pool with cabana, clubhouse, outdoor fireplace, picnic area, fenced playground, sidewalks, and serene ponds. Just off Highway 17 with easy I-140 access — under 15 minutes to historic downtown Wilmington and about 30 to our beaches. 🏖️

This is more than a house. It's a place to call home, where coastal living meets everyday ease.

📲 Send me a message or comment BROOKE and I'll get you the full details and a private showing.

🌊 JUST LISTED IN SALTERS HAVEN 🌊 473 Jackline Drive | Hampstead, NC 28443 | $936,000

Better than new — and available right now.

This Atlantic Builders home was completed in May 2026 and has barely been lived in. The owners' plans changed, and that's your opportunity: every upgrade is already done, the landscaping is established, and there's no build timeline to wait out.

Here's what you'll love: ✨ Bright open floor plan with quartz counters, custom built-ins, and high-end finishes throughout ✨ First-floor primary suite with dual vanities and a tiled walk-in shower ✨ All-season porch overlooking a fully fenced backyard with fruit trees, roses, and flowering beds ✨ Two-car garage with epoxy floors, extra storage, and a separate golf cart door (a Salters Haven essential 🛺) ✨ Generator hookup, buried propane with grill hookup, water softener, whole-house reverse osmosis, and an attic with room to expand.

And the community? Salters Haven is one of Hampstead's most sought-after Intracoastal Waterway neighborhoods — marina on the ICW, resort-style pool, and clubhouse. About 25 minutes to Mayfaire shopping and dining in Wilmington, and 25 minutes to the Surf City bridge and Topsail Island beaches. ⛵️

⚓️ BOATERS, TAKE NOTE: A boat slip in the Salters Haven marina is available for purchase separately through another owner. Ask me for details.

Whether you're looking for full-time coastal living or a low-maintenance second home near the water, this one is hard to replicate.

Here's a myth I want to correct: a lot of people assume a coastal city this size is all tourism, healthcare, and service jobs. That's not the full picture.

Wilmington has a genuine fintech cluster — nCino and Live Oak Bank are both headquartered here, along with companies like Aperture. We also have GE Hitachi in nuclear energy, Corning making fiber optics, Thermo Fisher in pharmaceutical research, and the Port of Wilmington driving a whole logistics and shipping economy. Add in the law firms, accounting practices, and professional services supporting all of it.

So the real caveat isn't whether the jobs exist — it's depth in your specific field. In Charlotte or Raleigh, you might have 20 employers in your exact niche. Here, you might have three or four. That's exactly why remote-friendly work has made Wilmington click for so many relocating professionals.

Before you move: search your specific role here, not just "Wilmington economic growth." 💼

People expect coastal weather to be mild because of the ocean breeze. Wilmington summers say otherwise.

Electric bills here typically run $100–$150 a month in mild months, jumping to $250–$300 during peak summer heat — especially in older homes without modern insulation. The humidity is the real factor: it's that sticky, heavy air that makes 85° feel like 100°, different from a dry heat.

Now, I love this weather, and so do a lot of my clients. Ocean water temps hit the 80s, so you can be in the water all day and never get cold. You can absolutely still enjoy outdoor life in peak summer — most locals just plan beach walks, runs, pickleball, and yard work for early morning or evening.

My advice: visit in July or August before you commit, and budget for those higher summer utility costs. ☀️

One of my favorite things about coastal North Carolina isn't a listing — it's a night on the water. The NC Holiday Flotilla is a Wilmington tradition most relocating buyers have never heard of until they move here, and then it becomes one of their favorite nights of the year. Dozens of decorated boats parade along the Intracoastal Waterway, typically the Friday after Thanksgiving, with crowds gathering at the Wrightsville Beach drawbridge and along the ICW to watch, followed by fireworks over the water. It's free, genuinely beautiful, and pairs with the same weekend's Cape Fear Habitat Turkey Trot (this year in downtown Wilmington at Riverfront Park) and the downtown tree lighting the following weekend. For buyers coming from bigger cities, this stretch of the calendar has a small-town warmth that surprises a lot of people. This is the kind of detail I love sharing with clients relocating to the area — it's part of what makes the decision to move here feel right. 📍 Wrightsville Beach | Downtown Wilmington, NC

Porters Neck and Scotts Hill are two areas I recommend often to buyers who want new construction without the Wrightsville Beach premium. Porters Neck offers golf course living, water access, and multiple active builders, roughly 15 minutes from Wrightsville Beach, with new builds from the mid-$800s to $1.5M+ depending on lot and community. Just north of it, Scotts Hill still carries a Wilmington address at a lower price point — new construction running roughly $425,000 to $750,000, about 25 minutes to Wrightsville Beach, with the new bypass helping shorten that drive over time. Boaters take note: nearby Saltfish Marina offers wet and dry slips on the ICW; the dry slip waitlist runs about 2 years with a $1,500 deposit and roughly $550/month once you're in. From there you can boat down to Wrightsville Beach or up toward Topsail in minutes. This corridor is a strong fit for buyers who want the coastal lifestyle with a more suburban feel and real budget flexibility. 📍 Porters Neck | Scotts Hill

Landfall is Wilmington's premier gated community, and it's where I send buyers coming from higher-cost coastal markets who want a true luxury lifestyle without Northeast or California pricing. As of June 2026, there were five active new construction listings ranging from $1.4M to $3.4M, plus six buildable lots starting at $525,000. You're getting championship golf with a significant waitlist, gated security, and a mature, fully established community — this isn't a community still being built out from scratch. Landfall also sits close to Wrightsville Beach, so buyers get country club living with real beach access just a short drive away. The comment I hear most from my Landfall buyers: they can't believe how much home and lifestyle they're getting for a price that's so much lower than other parts of the country. 📍 Landfall | Wilmington, NC

River Lights sits along the Cape Fear River just south of downtown Wilmington, and it's one of the communities I sell in most often. New construction here runs from the mid-$400s up to $1.35M, with a median price of $545,000 over the last 12 months. Early 2026 brought a second pool, second gym, a clubhouse, and pickleball courts. What I love pointing out to buyers: this masterplanned community sits off the water in a way that keeps most of it out of high-risk flood zones — so you get the river views and coastal lifestyle without the flood insurance complexity that comes with an oceanfront or ICW-front property. (Worth noting, the Cape Fear River can still flood, so it's always worth checking specifics on any given lot.) Buyers who move here consistently tell me it feels like they're on vacation every day. 📍 River Lights | Wilmington, NC

The Military Cutoff and Eastwood Road intersection project is one I get asked about often, especially from buyers looking at Landfall or Wrightsville Beach. Here's where it stands honestly. Phase one — the Dale Drive extension through Center Point — is already done. Phase two, the actual overpass, hasn't started: contract work isn't scheduled until September 2027, with about 4 years to build once it begins. There's also genuine local debate about whether an overpass is the right fix, with some residents asking NC DOT to consider signal timing improvements instead. Reasonable people land on different sides of this one. My take: know a major project is on the books, know the timeline is years out, and know the final form isn't locked in yet. Happy to talk through what it means for a specific property. 📍 Landfall | Wrightsville Beach, NC
