North Carolina Real Estate, Homes for Sale, Houses for Sale, Realtors.

Kid friendly, North Carolina is home to the first powered flight ... Kitty Hawk 1903. Real estate listings are plentiful in select areas and there's a housing boom around Wilmington. A high rate of appreciation is found for beach front property, condo and townhome. The higher end real estate market is brisk it is believed brough on by fluctuations in the stock market.

It is well known North Carolina received many imigrants from Europe during the late 1600's and early 1700's.

Colonial Period:" The first permanent English settlers in North Carolina were immigrants from the tidewater area of southeastern Virginia. The first of these "overflow" settlers moved into the Albemarle area of northeast North Carolina around 1650.

In 1663, Charles II granted a charter to eight English gentlemen who had helped him regain the throne of England. The charter document contains a description of the territory which the eight Lords Proprietors were granted title to.

The territory was called Carolina in honor of Charles the First ("Carolus"is the Latin form of "Charles"). In 1665, a second charter was granted to clarify territorial questions not answered in the first charter.

Between 1663 and 1729, North Carolina was under the control of the Lords Proprietors and their descendants, who commissioned colonial officials and authorized the governor and his council to grant lands in the name of the Lords Proprietors. In 1669, John Locke wrote the Fundamental Constitutions as a model for the government of Carolina. Albemarle County was divided into local governmental units called precincts. Initially there were three precincts--Berkley, Carteret, and Shaftesbury--but as the colony expanded to the south and west new precincts were created. By 1729, there were a total of eleven precincts: six in Albemarle County and five in Bath County, which had been created in 1696.

Although the Albemarle Region was the first permanent settlement in the Carolina area, another region was developed around present-day Charleston, South Carolina. Because of the natural harbor and easier access to trade with the West Indies, more attention was given to developing the Charleston area than her northern counterparts. For a twenty-year period, 1692-1712, the colonies of North and South Carolina existed as one unit of government.

Although North Carolina still had her own assembly and council, the governor of Carolina resided in Charleston and a deputy governor appointed for North Carolina.

In 1729, seven of the Lords Proprietors sold their interests (real estate) in North Carolina to the Crown and North Carolina became a royal colony. The eighth proprietor, Lord Granville, retained economic interest and continued granting land in the northern half of North Carolina. All political functions were under the supervision of the Crown until 1775."

Well ... it would have been good to be one of the Lords around then to find themselves in control of such parsels of land that the King of England granted them. What nice homes could be built from the natural resources. No real estate taxes, for them affordable housing but no agents to help in settling the sale later on. Sale? Recharacterize that as re-distribution of property or wealth as you please. Following the Hallifax Resolves we find North Carolina in the Revolutionary War.

"In early December, 1776, delegates to the Fifth Provincial Congress adopted the first constitution for North Carolina. On December 21, 1776, Richard Caswell became the first governor of North Carolina under the new constitution. In 1788, North Carolina rejected the United States Constitution because of the lack of necessary amendments to ensure freedom of the people; however, on November 21, 1789, the state adopted the constitution, becoming the twelfth state to enter the federal union."

Later ... much later ... in 1903 the Wright Brothers made the first successful powered flight by man at Kill Devil Hill near Kitty Hawk. The Wright Memorial at Kitty Hawk now commemorates their achievement.

Today, the labor force is up 13% from October 2003. Housing starts are flat to down. Rates are at very low levels still making for very affordable real estate.
