Is the housing market slowing down in Brunswick County, NC?
No — sales activity in Brunswick County, NC is up. 637 homes sold during May 2026, against 557 in the same months a year earlier, a rise of 14%.
This page is about how many homes changed hands, not what they cost. The two move separately: prices are set by the homes that did sell, and volume tells you how many people managed to transact at all. A market can hold its prices while activity quietly drains out of it.
The change clears both tests we require before naming a direction: it is more than 3% in relative terms, and it is larger than the ordinary month-to-month variation you would expect on a market that sells 637 homes at a time.
The longer view, all measured over the May window so the season is held constant: 566 homes sold two years ago, 557 last year, 637 now. Activity is meaningfully above where it was two years ago.
What is on the shelf next to what is selling: 2,944 homes were on the market in Brunswick County, NC, and 637 sold. At that pace it would take about 4.6 months to clear them all. Buyers and sellers are about evenly matched right now.
Every comparison on this page is to the SAME calendar months a year earlier, never to last month. Home sales roughly double between January and May in most of the country, so a month-over-month reading would tell you about the season and nothing about the market.
