OBX Real Estate Market Weekly Update – 3/20/2022
The most striking stat from this particular week is the percentage of new listings going under contract during the first seven days: 62%! On the day this was written 79% of them are already spoken for!! Out of all of the properties listed in 2022 81% are under contract/sold/otherwise off-market.
The number of new listings is down 16% when compared to last year. On March 30th there were 238 active listings, not including co-ownerships where 5+ weeks are sold, not the property itself.
In their February Statistical Report, the Outer Banks Association of REALTORS® referred to the number of “Outer Banks listings” when talking about the low number of available properties. That number would exclude Elizabeth City, Edenton, and other places considered “Outer Banks” but still in our MLS area. On this day that number is 176 properties.
