Spot Real Estate: Wilmington NC Homes, Wrightsville, Kure & Carolina Beach Houses
Are you looking for a new spot to call home? Somewhere with affordable housing, lower taxes, great weather and proximity to multiple beaches? Sounds amazing, right? Well, you definitely should consider relocating to Wilmington!
Our growing community is experiencing an influx of new residents relocating here from the Northeast, Midwest and from FL for good reason ... it's an amazing place to live.
We have 4 seasons in Wilmington - albeit our winter is rather short. We average just 2 inches of snow per year along the coastal plain. Most of Wilmington barely gets much more than a dusting - if we're lucky! Our winter days hover in the mid 50s and evening lows dip into the 30s. So, moving here means you'll need to kiss that snow blower goodbye!
Our average temperature along the coast is 64. Our summers can get a bit hot and humid - with most days in the high 80s to low 90s. Luckily, we are surrounded by water here in Wilmington, giving you ample ways to stay cool while enjoying the sunshine. Speaking of which, Wilmington is an especially cheerful place to live as we enjoy about 216 sunny days each year.
Living in Wilmington is a bit more expensive than other cities in North Carolina (it’s just such a destination) - but the cost of living is definitely more competitive than many areas around the country. According to the ACCRA Cost of Living Index, the costs for everyday supplies, goods & services, healthcare and transportation in Wilmington are lower than the national average. Housing is significantly more affordable here as well, with the average home sale price just shy of $225,000.
