HILE many purchases were by North
Carolinians, Realtors report home buyers
are fleeing large metropolitan cities all over
the U.S.
“We continue to see an influx of not
only second home owners but primary residence buyers moving
to the coast,” says Nick Phillips. “We’ve seen buyers from
North Carolina and most all of the major East Coast metro
areas. But we have also seen buyers coming in a much bigger
way from across the Midwest and even the West Coast. I had
multiple buyers of beach homes from California this year,
which is a new trend.”
Intracoastal Realty’s Laurie Carpenito confirms the move-ment

choosing Wilmington,” she says. “You’ve got a small-town vibe, a
cool little downtown, and you’ve got gorgeous beaches. It doesn’t
get any better than that. There just aren’t enough houses on the
market for the buyers that are here.”
Vance Young reports seeing buyers from Raleigh, Durham,
Chapel Hill and the Northern states.
“I’ve had a number of buyers from the East Coast, from north-ern
Virginia to Connecticut, who have bought second homes
here rather than Florida because they can drive here much easier
and are averse to flying with the COVID scare,” he says.
Jessica Edwards agrees.
“We are still seeing locals purchase, but especially at the higher
end in luxury homes we are seeing buyers come from larger
metropolitan areas, buyers from New York, D.C., Atlanta, differ-ent
areas,” she says. “But also local people are wanting more space
to just be home and be able to live, work and play in that space.”
