Property Sales Up Significantly During Third Quarter of 2015

The Brunswick County Association of Realtors® just released their statistics for the third quarter of the current year. Residential real estate sales in Brunswick, Bladen and Columbus counties for September and the third quarter of 2015 increased solidly over the same period in 2014. This is fabulous news for anyone that has been hesitant to put their home on the market or start the homebuying process. The market is sound and properties are moving at a steady rate.

“Sales continue to increase in the three counties over the previous year,” said BCAR CEO Cynthia Cumbie. “The last four months showed the highest number of sales during the year. The local real estate market has been moving in a positive direction this year, and these latest statistics underscore the uptick we have observed in Brunswick and surrounding counties since January.”
