Brunswick County’s residential real estate market saw a spike in sales volume in March, according to the latest statistics released by the Brunswick County Association of REALTORS®. The number of units sold jumped 87% and total sales volume increased 74% over February 2019.

“Real estate sales in Brunswick County skyrocketed in March compared to February,” said BCAR CEO Cynthia Walsh. “Spring Fever is setting in, with more people listing homes and those homes selling quickly. If our recent days-on-market stats continue to hold true, homes being listed now will sell in less than 100 days. All signs point to a continued strong market as Summer approaches.”
