Brunswick County real estate sales increase 86% in July compared to 2019, highest single-month sales total on record
Brunswick County’s residential real estate market saw an 86% increase in sales volume last month compared to July 2019. The July 2020 total was the highest single-month sales volume on record, according to the Brunswick County Association of REALTORS®.
“Last month I had to do a double-take to make sure I was reading the numbers correctly,” said BCAR CEO Cynthia Walsh. “This month I had to do a triple-take. While we can expect to see some impact from Hurricane Isaias in next month’s numbers, overall our market continues to be on fire.”
