Hi everyone,
Hope you're enjoying the weekend! Today I've decided to write a post about something I get asked about quite often from buyers looking in this area - small homes for sale in and around Wilmington.

Not all buyers I deal with are looking for a big house - many are just looking for a quaint, cottage type home for themselves and a pet, or maybe just a small place for a couple who doesn't want a home with a lot of upkeep.

With that in mind, I've added some pages to the website today featuring selected homes and properties for sale  all under 1200 sq. feet. If you're looking for a small home in the area, this would be a great place to get started. To se the properties, follow the links below:
