What Does This Mean For Buyers?
Buyers searching for properties in the Outer Banks area can expect to see more inventory available, as well as, higher prices for homes and lots. Buyers should be aware that the trend of higher home prices is expected to continue and that buyers should have financing in place and be ready to act when a property is found. Buyers should also be aware that time is not on their side, and if a buyer becomes too demanding with their housing needs they may lose out on the perfect home.
What Does This Mean For Sellers?
The market for real estate favors sellers at this time, however, due to a seasonal slowdown and higher listing prices for homes, sellers may see a slowdown in buying activity. The Outer Banks real estate market is unique and while home sales have slowed most of the year, a pickup in buying activity is expected over the coming months. Sellers who have been thinking about getting their property listed and on the market should go ahead and do so today.
