Brunswick County Home Prices: Median Price Shift 💰

Median sales price: $385,000 (-19.06% YoY)

What this means: The median price is down compared to December 2024. Median price can move based on the mix of homes sold (more entry-level vs. luxury closings), but it's still a key signal that buyers may be seeing more price sensitivity and more negotiation in certain price points.

Days on Market: Homes Took Longer to Sell 🏡

Average cumulative days on market (DOM): 85 (+14.86% YoY)

What this means: Homes are taking longer to sell on average. In a more competitive inventory environment, buyers have more time to compare options, and sellers benefit from strong presentation, professional photos, and pricing that matches current demand.

Months of Supply: Where the Market Sits 4️⃣

Months supply of inventory: 4.50 (+1.35% YoY)

What this means: A 4 to 5 month supply is often considered a more balanced market (not extreme seller's market, not extreme buyer's market). This is good news for both sides:

• Buyers can be a bit more selective.

• Sellers can still achieve strong results with the right pricing + marketing plan.
