BEST DEAL IN OGDEN
3509 Middle Sound Loop Road , Wilmington, NC 28411
This home caught our attention and made the list when the owners lowered their asking price by almost $2,000. It is very rare that you will see a home in this price range, in New Hanover County, that has been recently updated. The home offers four bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and no HOA. Inside, you’ll find an open concept living area, bright kitchen overlooking the huge back yard, and access to the master suite. The master provides an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms are on the opposite end of the home. Outside, there is a wired storage shed, a deck and fire pit area, and outdoor shower. Middle Sound is situated just off of Market Street in Ogden near shopping, dining, micro-breweries and local coffee shops. Just 10 minutes to Wrightsville Beach, 5 minutes to Mayfaire, and quick access to I-40 to get to Raleigh, a property like this doesn’t last long on the market. Asking price $236,750

BEST DEAL IN DEER CROSSING
6409 Fawn Settle Drive , Wilmington, NC 28409
It feels a little awkward to call this “The Best Deal” in the neighborhood, because there are only two homes currently on the market in Deer Crossing. Still, it makes the list because it has an asking price of $101.97 a square foot. In the last year the average sale in this area has gone for more than $130 per square. Measuring 3,000 square feet, the home has four bedrooms plus a bonus room that could be a fifth bedroom, along with three and a half baths. It sits on a large corner lot with a fenced yard. The first floor has an open plan with large living area that flows into the kitchen. There is also a separate dining room and sun-room on this floor. The listing agent writes that some of the interior rooms may need a new coat of paint. Asking price $305,900

BEST DEAL ON A ONE-OF-A-KIND HOME
328 Lodger Avenue, Wilmington 28409
The asking price is actually close to $300,000 lower than a recent assessment. Right off the bat that makes this a great deal. This is the type of place for people looking for something that is like nothing else in the area. This four bedroom, four bath home was built in 1960 but it has been completely renovated. It’s located on two lots and has an over-sized three car garage with unfinished bonus space. The main house has a new HVAC, new well and softener, Brazilian Cherry wood floors, Granite counter tops, new stainless appliances, stone accent walls, new carpet and luxury vinyl plank flooring. Other features include a U-shaped wet bar,28×22 roof top veranda with ICW and Ocean views, and new decking. Plus there is no HOA! Asking price $699,500
