Brunswick County real estate market sales up over recent years during November
Brunswick County’s residential real estate market saw a higher number of sales, new listings and higher prices compared to last November.
“It’s normal for our market to cool off during the holiday months, and last month was no exception compared to the rest of the year. However, the number of sales we saw last month definitely stands out in comparison to previous Novembers,” said Cynthia Walsh, CEO of the Brunswick County Association of REALTORS®. “Excluding the pandemic-fueled years, November 2025 stands out as the best November for sales in the past 15+ years. This demonstrates the underlying strength our market has despite national trends.”

The number of homes sold increased by 12.3%, from 438 to 492, while total sales volume climbed 19.7%, from $214,432,198 to $256,672,662. The average sales price increased 6.6%, from $489,571 to $521,692, and the median sales price increased 8.7%, from $372,000 to $404,500.
