A 2005 house on a quiet cul-de-sac in The Currituck Club, at the north end of Corolla, North Carolina, sold for $1 million, the highest-priced home sale publicly reported in the Virginia Beach, Virginia metro area for the week ending August 9, 2026. The five leading closings recorded across the metro that week combined for $4.28 million in Virginia Beach-area real estate.
Corolla carried the week’s list, with four of the ranked closings recorded there and the fifth in Yorktown, Virginia. The named communities behind them are The Currituck Club and its Hammocks section, Whalehead Club, Ocean Sands and Rose Hill. Build years run from a 1995 beach cottage held by its original owners to a Yorktown house completed this year, and Keller Williams Outer Banks KDH held the listing side on three of the week’s ranked sales.
No. 1 — $1,000,000 · 818 Whistler Ct #381, Corolla, North Carolina
The week’s highest reported price went to a five-bedroom house set on a quiet cul-de-sac at the north end of The Currituck Club, the gated golf community in Corolla. The house at 818 Whistler Ct #381 closed on August 4, 2026 for $1,000,000, with six full bathrooms, one half bath and a reported 3,614 square feet in a residence dating to 2005.
Every bedroom in the house is en suite. The upper level carries an open reverse floor plan under cathedral ceilings, with hardwood floors, a gas fireplace and banks of windows framing treetop and sky views, and the family room opens onto a sun deck. The kitchen on that floor has a gas stove, stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops and two dishwashers. Above it, a ship’s watch looks out over the pond the property backs onto.
The mid-level opens through a beadboard-accented foyer with a sightline to a den in the same finish, which gives onto a covered porch screened by mature trees; four more en suite bedrooms complete that floor. The ground level is built around a game room with a wet bar, opening directly to a fenced private pool and its decking, with an outdoor shower alongside and two individual one-car garages flanking the room. The Currituck Club is gated and carries a Rees Jones-designed golf course, multiple pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center and seasonal trolley service with beach valet, and the house sits minutes from Corolla’s north beaches. The property previously changed hands for $673,000 in 2011.
The Myatt Group Team and Terry Blocher of Keller Williams Outer Banks Kdh were the listing agents. Joe Staten of Obx Island Realty represented the buyer. The $1,000,000 closing ranked No. 1 in RealtyWire’s Virginia Beach Metro Area Top 5 for the week ending August 9, 2026, the highest-priced home sale reported anywhere in the metro that week, and Blocher also held a listing on the No. 4 sale below.

No. 2 — $965,000 · 1073 Whalehead Dr Lot 34, Corolla, North Carolina
A yellow cottage behind a picket fence, on a third-row corner lot in the Whalehead Beach community, took the No. 2 position. The house at 1073 Whalehead Dr Lot 34 changed hands August 6, 2026 for $965,000 and dates to 1995, with six bedrooms, four full bathrooms, one half bath and a reported 2,672 square feet on a half-acre homesite.
The cottage was cared for by its original owners and was used as a private home rather than a rental. Two large king en suites anchor a spacious floor plan, and the mid-level is wrapped in expansive covered decks that run around the home. The oversized lot leaves room to add a private pool. The property sits next to the Tuna Street beach access walkway, roughly 250 feet from the wide beaches Whalehead is known for in Corolla.

No. 4 — $787,500 · 741 Ridge Point Dr #33, Corolla, North Carolina
A second home in The Hammocks, a neighborhood within The Currituck Club, took the No. 4 position. The sale of 741 Ridge Point Dr #33 was recorded August 7, 2026 at $787,500, covering a 2003 house with five bedrooms, four full bathrooms, one half bath and a reported 2,765 square feet.

The primary en suite on that floor has a walk-in closet, a double vanity, a glass shower with custom tile work and access to a western covered porch.
A two-story foyer opens the ground level, where three bedrooms include one en suite with a private vanity area and separate water closet, and a fifth bedroom with a full bath and a Juliet balcony occupies the top floor. Outdoors, a private pool, hot tub and fire feature share the space below the covered porch, with the Hammocks community pool and a trolley stop close by. The property previously changed hands for $389,500 in 2018.
The Myatt Group Team and Terry Blocher of Keller Williams Outer Banks Kdh were the listing agents. Michele E Defazio-Bouchard of Coldwell Banker Seaside Realty KH represented the buyer. The house went under contract 6 days after the current listing date, and the $787,500 closing gave Blocher a second listing on RealtyWire’s Virginia Beach Metro Area Top 5 for the week ending August 9, 2026, alongside the No. 1 sale.
