This is the Outer Banks Real Estate update for the week ending June 6th. Along with the weekly stats, we’ll be looking to find the most competitive price range.

Active Listings and Market Pace
At the time the data was pulled there were 394 active listings compared to 1233 at the end of May 2020, and 965 at the end of June 2020. The average list price is $926,833. The median list price is $641,110.
To keep you up to date with how fast the market is moving, going back to the previous week ending May 30th, there were 78 new listings, 36 of which are now under contract, or off of the market. 42 are still active. Going back two weeks to the week ending May 23rd, out of 67 new listings 37 are under contract, sold, or off of the market. Only 30 are still active. Going back three weeks to the week ending May 16th, out of 82 new listings 51 are under contract, sold, or off of the market. Only 31 are still active.
The Hot Price Range
Like last week I’m going to do a deeper dive on the new listings on that third week out, the week ending May 16th. Of the 31 homes that are still active, the average list price is $994,831. The median list price is $649,900.
Of the 51 that went under contract, the average list price was $623,856. The median list price was $515,000. For the days on market an average of 8, and a median of 5. The high mark for the number of days on market was 26.
Homes in all price ranges that are priced correctly will get snapped up quickly. But there is intense competition below $800,000.
