            <title>February 2010 Outer Banks Market Report</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Though it was another cold month here, February Outer Banks home sales saw an
increase over 2009.&nbsp; Both months of 2010, have been stronger than their
2009 counterparts.&nbsp; All initial indications show March as being another
strong month.&nbsp;

An increase in home sales coupled with a decline in inventory, points to encouraging signs for the local real estate market. &nbsp;
