🏡 The Outer Banks Real Estate Market: Let’s Talk Numbers! 🌊

Wondering what’s happening with home sales here on the Outer Banks? Whether you’re thinking about making a move or just keeping an eye on the market, here’s a snapshot of where things stand as of October 20, 2026!

📍 Corolla to Hatteras Island

🏠 625 Homes for Sale
Average time on market: 111 days

📝 178 Homes Under Contract
Average time on market: 70 days

🔑 993 Homes Sold So Far in 2026
Average time on market: 64 days

💡 What can we take away from these numbers?

The Outer Banks real estate market is far from standing still, but the pace has shifted.

For buyers: More inventory means more choices, more time to explore your options, and potentially more room to negotiate.

For sellers: Today’s buyers are paying attention to value. Pricing your home competitively, making a great first impression, and having a solid marketing strategy are more important than ever.

🌊 The bottom line? Homes are still selling, and opportunities exist on both sides of the transaction. The key is understanding today’s market rather than relying on yesterday’s expectations.

Real estate is local, and every property tells a different story. I’d love to help you make sense of the numbers and what they mean for your next move!

North Carolina is now the No. 1 destination for Americans moving from one state to another.

It pulled in 84,064 more people than it lost in the latest Census data, beating Texas at 67,299.

South Carolina came in third at 66,622, and my home state of Tennessee was fourth at 42,389.

Texas and Florida spent most of the last decade at the top of these lists.

Now United Van Lines classifies both as balanced, meaning about as many people are moving out as moving in.

Why North Carolina is winning:

A flat 3.99% state income tax

Home prices well below the Northeast

Tech and biotech jobs in the Research Triangle

Charlotte's banking economy

Mountains and beaches in the same state

Texas is still growing, but homeowners insurance there is up 79% in six years and property taxes keep climbing.

Florida's insurance problems have hit coastal homeowners especially hard.

California and New York continue to lose more residents than any other states, with California down 229,100 and New York down 137,600.

To be fair, Texas and Florida still lead in total population growth once you count people moving in from other countries.

But when Americans pick up their own families and choose a new state, the Carolinas are getting the first look.

People don't move for a single reason.

They move when the math stops working where they are, and right now the math is pointing to states with reasonable taxes, decent jobs, and housing that doesn't require two six-figure incomes.
