Nags Head residents will have an opportunity to vote on April 17th 2007 for a Beach Nourishment Project.  The proposed plan will raise $24,000,000 through homeowners tax increases.  Dare County has agreed to spend $8,000,000 on the project.  The majority of the tax will be charged to a Municipal Servicing District (i.e. those close to the beach) and the other residents will see a slight increase in their property tax bill.  For more details, please visit Outer Banks Real Estate, The Town of Nags Head, and Beach Huggers.

Below is an excerpt from the article.NEEDHAM, Mass....

The Pending Home Sales Index, based on contracts signed in October, slipped 1.7% to a reading of 107.2 and is 13.2% lower than October 2005. The index had trended up from a cyclical low of 105.6 in July, and a decline from year-ago levels is narrowing.  In September, the index was 13.6% below a year earlier, while in August the decline was 14.0%. David Lereah, NAR's chief economist, said a fairly steady pace of home sales can be expected for the next two months.  "It's important to focus on where the housing market is now--it appears to be stabilizing, and comparisons with an unsustainable boom ma...
