With all the negative news everywhere you go these days, it is pleasant to hear some positive signs of our real estate market in Wilmington NC improving. We are seeing those signs everyday. Contracts signed or pending sales are increasing  and our market activity in general is very positive. In addition, real estate searches online have increased tremendously. That is always a good sign. Most buyers start their search for a home online, but usually a few months in advance.

Another major factor in our local real estate market is population growth. Wilmington NC remains attractive for new residents whether it be families with children or retirees such as the halfbacks.  Wilmington’s growth rate July 2007 through July 2008 was 2.4%, above the entire state’s growth of 1.99%.
