Mid-Year Market Review
The Tri-County housing market is settling into a healthier rhythm after several years of intense competition. Across New Hanover, Brunswick, and Pender counties, inventory has improved, and homes are taking a little longer to sell, giving buyers more choices and more time to make decisions.
Pending sales remained strong throughout the spring, signaling continued demand for coastal living, while prices held steady with modest appreciation despite shifting market conditions. Median prices continue to hover near the half-million dollar mark, reinforcing the long-term strength and desirability of our coastal communities.
For sellers, pricing and presentation matter more than ever. Well-prepared homes continue to attract strong interest, but today’s buyers are more selective and less willing to overlook pricing or condition concerns. The market is becoming more balanced, creating opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
