B R U N S W I C K C O U N T Y BRUNSWICK COUNTY, with 672,000
february 2020
acres and sprawling residential develop-ments,
saw an increase of 8.6 percent to
$1.57 billion in 6,552 sales.
“Brunswick County is one of the fastest growing
counties right now,” Carla Lewis says. “So many
coming love those ‘immediate communities’ with all
the amenities, like Brunswick Forest and Compass
Pointe. They instantly put people into a community
where they can meet others and feel a part of it; the
golf, kayaking, the pickleball.”
Four of the top 10 sales in Brunswick County
for 2019 were developable land. Because the
storm made landfall above the Brunswick beaches,
Realtors say they fared well.
The top residential sale in the county was again
on water-access-only Bald Head Island. This 4-bed-room,
4-bath, 3000sf home overlooking the marina
at 102 Turks Head Court sold for $2.2 million, 96
percent of list price.
“The beach towns see buyers from cities where
you can drive to the beach for a short weekend;
Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro,” says Christine
Cronick.
Bald Head Island saw $64,322,500 in 134 closed
sales, with 19 pending sales at year’s end.
The average sales price in the island village was
$480,000, while the median was $470,000. At the
height of the year, there were 194 properties on the
market, and those sold took an average of 248 days
to sell. The highest active list price was above $3.7
million.
Bald Head Island’s 102 Turks head Court was the top sale in bustling
Brunswick County.
