Brunswick County real estate market activity increases across all major metrics during April
Brunswick County’s residential real estate market once again outpaced itself during April, with increases in new listings, sales and prices.
“Our members were definitely busy during April,” said Cynthia Walsh, CEO of the Brunswick County Association of REALTORS®. “40% of sales that occurred in April closed in less than a month, and we saw more sales than we did last year. Prices increased, but that’s likely due to the high number of luxury sales we saw. We also have 29% more pending listings than last April, which is a strong indication that May will be just as busy.”
