Carolina Beach Market Update 3-8-14
This week I wanted to provide a summary of sales so far this year, in addition to highlighting a few properties that Team Coastwalk has recently SOLD.
Through March 5th 2014, there have been 499 total sales in New Hanover County according to MLS. 458 of these are homes or condo sales, and 41 are land sales.
Through March 5th of 2013, there were 537 total sales in New Hanover County. 492 of these were homes and condos, and 45 land sales.
Across the board, sales are down about 12%. I think one of the main reasons for this has been the weather – January and February have been pretty cold and wet months. In an analysis of website traffic, activity on-line is booming, especially from the Northeast.
The City of Wilmington has seen 416 total sales through March 5th 2014. 386 of these are homes or condos. The average selling price per square foot of these properties is $116.
During the same period in 2013, Wilmington had 460 total sales. 423 of these were homes or condos, with an average price per square foot of $107.
On the Island, in 2014, there have been 54 total sales. 43 of these are homes or condos, and 11 have been land sales. This compares to 55 total sales in 2013. 47 of these being homes or condos, and 8 having been land sales
In Wrightsville Beach, there have been 13 sales in 2014, compared to 14 sales in 2013 over the same period.
