Market Insights Trends in Brunswick County: What You Should Know in 2025
For buyers, sellers and investors focused on Brunswick County real estate

Brunswick County remains one of the fastest-growing areas in North Carolina, and 2025 continues that momentum. With strong population growth, expanding development and steady interest from both full-time residents and coastal buyers, the county offers a dynamic landscape for real-estate decision-making. Aspyre Realty Group follows these trends closely to help clients understand how the market is shifting.

Population growth fueling consistent demand
Brunswick County continues to attract retirees, remote workers and second-home buyers. Its blend of affordability, coastal lifestyle and community amenities keeps demand healthy across multiple price points. This steady population growth supports long-term stability for sellers and promising conditions for investors seeking reliable appreciation.

Moderating prices creating more balance
After several years of rapid price increases, 2025 shows signs of moderation. The market is becoming more balanced, giving buyers more negotiating power while still offering sellers strong value opportunities. Properties in popular communities — such as Leland, Southport and Ocean Isle Beach — continue to perform well thanks to their amenities and proximity to beaches and regional employers.

New construction shaping market supply
Builders remain active across the county, adding single-family homes, townhomes and master-planned communities. This new inventory helps relieve pressure on resale supply and creates more options for buyers entering the market. For investors, new construction offers potential for low-maintenance rentals and long-term holds in growing neighborhoods.

Rental demand remains steady
Long-term rentals continue to perform well throughout Brunswick County, especially in areas with easy access to Wilmington or the beaches. While short-term rental regulations vary by municipality, coastal communities still provide opportunities for investors seeking seasonal income. Long-term rental corridors near Leland and Shallotte remain especially strong.

Infrastructure and amenity growth enhancing value
Improved roads, expanded retail options and ongoing community development contribute to better overall quality of life. These enhancements support property values and attract new buyer segments looking for convenience paired with coastal lifestyle benefits.
