Market Update as of September 4, 2025

In the last week, Leeward Harbor 802, Haystacks 33 and Seaside Villas 13 received multiple offers within days of hitting the market. While we can't share final sales prices until closing (and we can't wait until they do!), the momentum behind these properties tells a clear story for our Crystal Coast real estate market: demand is high, and buyers are acting quickly when the right property comes along.

The Numbers

Looking at Carteret County's market from January through August 2025, the data backs up what we're experiencing firsthand:
 

  • Sellers are receiving, on average, over 96% of their asking price. This means buyers have some room for negotiation, however, we are still in a seller's market. When a property comes to the market at the perfect price, buyers are acting swiftly and often bidding above the asking price. 
  • Even with more than 600 homes currently active in Carteret County, buyer demand remains steady, as shown by 1,129 pending sales.
     

Why This Matters for Sellers

Our three multi-offer properties aren't isolated wins — they're part of a larger market trend. Well-positioned homes are finding buyers quickly, often receiving multiple offers. With active inventory continuing to move, this fall could be an excellent window to consider selling.

If you've been wondering whether now is the right time to list, the answer might just be yes. We'd love to help you with your ideal sale. Start with seeing how much your property is worth with our 5-minute home value analysis HERE.
