These are the highest-priced home sales reported in the Crystal Coast & New Bern Area, North Carolina for the week ending November 8, 2026, and together they came to $4.679 million. Four of the five were in Carteret County, including two in Beaufort, with the fifth in Craven County, in New Bern. The group runs from homes built in 1940 and 1947 to a townhome finished in 2021, and from three single-family homes to a townhouse and a condominium.
No. 1 — $1,549,000 · 202 Glenn Street, Atlantic Beach, North Carolina
The oldest home in this week’s group is also the one that sold for the most. The two-story cottage at 202 Glenn Street dates to 1940 and stands in the Money Island Beach neighborhood of Atlantic Beach, on an oceanfront lot of 6,250 square feet. It sits behind the dunes, and it has views of the ocean.
This is a plain, rustic beach place rather than a polished one, with vinyl siding over a wood frame and an unpaved spot for cars. The home has five bedrooms, the most of any in this Top 5, along with two full baths, a half bath and 2,124 square feet of living area. There is an enclosed sun room, and a bonus area has a second kitchenette of its own. The cottage was sold fully furnished.
