Brunswick County Residential Real Estate Market Update - June 2023
Brunswick County’s residential real estate market saw more homes sold in June despite low inventory and fewer new listings. Homes sold quickly due to continued strong demand, which combined with a hot luxury market to drive the average sales price upward to almost half a million dollars.
“While increasing mortgage rates and low inventory are impacting buyers and sellers nationwide, the market in Brunswick County is still going strong, we and aren’t far off of last year’s pace,” said Cynthia Walsh, BCAR CEO. “Half of all sales in June were at or above list price, homes sold quickly, and our inventory is still well within seller’s market range. The bottom line is that demand for homes in Brunswick County remains strong.”
