🌭🚗 HOT DOG! Look who's rolling into town!

The famous Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is making its way to the Wilmington area this week, and it's bringing 27 feet of fun with it!

This iconic hot dog on wheels has been turning heads and making people smile for more than 85 years. Now it's making TWO local appearances!

🌭 Thursday, October 22
📍 Harris Teeter, 3860 Carolina Beach Road, Wilmington
⏰ 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM

🎃 Friday, October 23
📍 Halloween Trunk or Treat Monster Mash, Belville
⏰ 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM

Did you know the original Wienermobile debuted in 1936 and was only 13 feet long? It's grown quite a bit since then!

Whether you're bringing the kids, reliving a little childhood nostalgia, or just want a picture with a giant hot dog, this is one of those fun local stops worth making!

🌭 Who remembers seeing the Wienermobile when they were growing up? Better yet, who's going to see it this week?

We love sharing the little things that make living in coastal North Carolina so much fun!

🏡 What’s Up with Real Estate? | Team Gale Weekly Market Update

The real estate market continues to shift, and with those changes come opportunities for buyers and sellers who have a good strategy in place!

While mortgage rates and inflation remain part of the national conversation, homes are still selling, and our local market continues to offer options for those looking to make a move.

📍 Here's a snapshot of our local market as of October 16:

🏠 Wilmington: $485,000 median asking price | 941 active listings

🌴 Carolina Beach: $691,975 median asking price | 140 active listings

🌊 Wrightsville Beach: $2,140,000 median asking price | 24 active listings

🌳 Castle Hayne: $469,455 median asking price | 100 active listings

What's the good news?

Buyers have opportunities to explore available inventory, compare properties, and make thoughtful decisions. For sellers, pricing strategically, presenting a home well, and reaching the right buyers remain essential to success.

Real estate has always been local, and national headlines rarely tell the whole story of what's happening right here in Southeastern North Carolina.

At Team Gale, we're watching the numbers, studying buyer activity, and helping our clients make informed decisions based on today's market.

Whether you're buying, selling, or simply curious about your home's value, we're here to help you make your next move with confidence.
