DEMOGRAPHICS
THE buyers of 7 Sounds Point Road were a young couple
from Raleigh. For the home’s listing broker, Vance
Young, and his team, buyer demographics have shifted
and he sees them coming from 1-40. Northen agrees,
saying his buyers are coming from “mostly the Triad: Raleigh,
Charlotte and Greensboro, but also Richmond and Atlanta.”
Where the buyers are coming from does differ from broker to
broker, one niche market to the next.
Carla Lewis’ team saw strong movement within the three
counties, New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender, as well as the
Triangle and Charlotte, while some were relocating from Virginia.
Likewise, Jessica Edwards’ team still sees a mix of buyers com-ing
from outside the state, but says the majority are from other
areas in the state, or even from within Wilmington.
This is not static.
“Twenty years ago, my buyers were coming out of the
Northeast, that market was a huge feeder market for us. Now
my biggest feeder market has been in state, buyers coming out of
Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Cary,” Young says. “The money
up there is tremendous, it dwarfs anything we’ve got here by a
factor of 100 or more. We’re the closest beach to them, we are the
logical place for them to go.”
