The market is still active, but pricing too far from recent closings can slow the whole process.

If you are asking how close your price needs to be to what buyers are actually paying in Carolina Beach, NC, the short answer is closer than many sellers prefer. Recent sales do not support a loose pricing strategy.
Last month, the typical asking price in Carolina Beach, NC was $692,450, while the typical closed price was $595,000. Over the same period, homes took a typical 98 days to sell and recent contracts closed at 97.8% of asking. That combination tells me sellers should respect the gap between advertised prices and accepted prices. When buyers have time and options, a home that starts too high can lose momentum long before the seller is ready to admit it. Price from closed competition first. Review active listings as your second layer, not your anchor. Decide now how long you are willing to be on the market, and set your opening number to support that timeline.
