You know, with there being so many foreclosures and people on the verge of losing their homes, my husband and I decided that it just might be a good time to check into a summer home with Wilmington NC real estate. My parents live at the coast about 40 miles south of Wilmington and we love it anywhere along the coast there.  We have thought about getting a place in that area for the past 4 or 5 years but just haven’t taken the time before now.  Yeah, I think now is the time.
