Happy New Year - State-of-the-Market!

Happy New Year, Everyone!

While 2008 has been a very challenging year for real estate and our economy, Eastern North Carolina continues to be a favorite place for relocation, retirees and second homes. For most of our out-of-state buyers, their biggest concern is selling their current home first.

Total Number of Homes Sold in 2008 was 1457, which is down 26% from 2007.

Total Days on the Market (average) went from 102 in 2007 to 151 in 2008.

While the "average" sales price for the entire MLS was +3%, several neighborhoods and areas have experienced depreciating prices.

We have a large inventory of properties on the market for sale, so it's definitely a Buyer's Market here!
