What's on the market now.

Three Briefs · Three Buyers
Start with the one that fits you.
Currituck County is three markets sharing one name, and a combined guide would be useless for all three. These are written separately on purpose.
Mainland & Commuter Brief
For the buyer who works in Virginia
The Moyock corridor, a measured 35.5-minute mean commute, eleven schools, and where the mainland price floor still sits.
Sound & Waterfront Brief
For the buyer who wants navigable water
Lower Currituck, canal and sound frontage, the Intracoastal at Coinjock, and the CAMA and flood stack that governs all of it.
Corolla & Second-Home Brief
For the second-home buyer on the paved road
NC-12 access, the lighthouse, a mature vacation-rental market, and the diligence list that decides whether a Corolla house works.
Looking for the 4x4 beach?
Carova Beach and North Swan Beach are a different site.
This site covers mainland Currituck County and paved Corolla. The off-grid, four-wheel-drive-only communities north of the end of the pavement have their own dedicated brief, written for the access, utility, insurance and financing questions that are genuinely different up there. If that is the market you are shopping, go straight there — you will get better information faster.

The county behind the briefs.
Organized as a precinct in 1668 and a county since 1739, Currituck runs from the Virginia line to the Dare County line and is split down the middle by a sound you cannot drive across. It has no incorporated towns at all.

The broker
Travis Old
Horizon Realty Group · North Carolina Real Estate
Travis works the Northeast NC corridor — Currituck, Camden, Pasquotank, Perquimans — from an office on Caratoke Highway in Moyock, with a focus on buyers whose decisions need an operator's perspective rather than a brochure's. Currituck County alone splits into three genuinely different transactions: a commuter corridor pointed at Hampton Roads, where the trade is measured in minutes; a sound-side waterfront where the Coastal Area Management Act and the flood maps decide what you can build; and paved Corolla, where a mature vacation-rental market runs on numbers you have to get from owner statements, not from a website. One combined guide would shortchange all three — which is why this site is three separate briefs instead. Active in regional market data through RPR and an appointed member of the 2026 William C. Bass Leadership Academy.
