2025 Real Estate Market Update: More Inventory, Stabilizing Prices, and Buyer Opportunities

The 2025 housing market is bringing big changes—both nationally and right here in coastal North Carolina. 📊 We’re seeing a 27.5% increase in available inventory, more time for buyers to make decisions, and home prices rising at a slower, healthier pace.

Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading, or planning to sell, these shifts could open up new opportunities. With more homes on the market and a stabilizing pace of appreciation, now is the time to re-evaluate your real estate goals.

While these national trends paint a broad picture, real estate is always local. If you’re in Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach, or nearby areas, I’m here to help you understand what’s happening in your neighborhood and what it means for you.
