More thoughts on Hoggard houses and prices

So the prices in Hoggard High school District have gone up a lot the last six years... I remember working with this single mom with a girl in second or third grade. She wanted to get into the hoggard high school District early.  Here thinking ahead was a great decision. I think we got home for around 200,000 and it was the most she could afford. Thats home today as you can see from the chart will be 265,000. She would not have been able to afford the school district of her choice has she waited any longer. The parallel to this situation is how a location is critical for buyers around the country  that are interested in coastal North Carolina and the Wilmington area. For example you used if you get an inexpensive home for $175,000 in Oak Island. Now a single home costs $250,000. I have seen people right before my eyes lose the location they wanted because the waited one to two years too long.
