Brunswick County is turning heads across North Carolina — not just in real estate, but in population growth too. In 2025 the county’s residential real-estate market surpassed $3 billion in total sales for the first time, with nearly 6,300 homes selling last year and inventory increasing, giving buyers more options. Prices have risen moderately, indicating solid demand without extreme volatility.

At the same time, Brunswick County has been recognized as the fastest-growing county in the state, with a 24 % population increase from 2020 to 2024 — a gain of nearly 33,000 new residents. This growth reflects the county’s appeal as a coastal, lifestyle-driven community, drawing retirees, families, and relocators alike seeking sun, space, accessibility, and quality of life.

What It Means for You

  • More choices for buyers. New neighbors mean more homes coming to market, with a wide variety of neighborhoods, price points, and amenities to explore.
  • Equity for sellers. Steady demand helps support strong sale prices and increased interest in well-positioned properties.
