June Real Estate Market Update: What
Buyers and Sellers Should Know in PA & NC
Happy June! As we move into the summer market, we are continuing to watch real estate trends closely across the areas we serve in southeastern Pennsylvania and southeastern North Carolina.
The big takeaway? Not every market is moving the same way.
Montgomery County Is Still Standing Strong
One of the most interesting updates right now is that Montgomery County, PA continues to stand out as a strong seller’s market. Redfin recently highlighted Montgomery County as one of the few seller’s markets in the country, which lines up with what we have been seeing locally.

This is not the first time Montgomery County has received national attention. Last year, Good Morning America also featured the area, and now Redfin is putting it in the spotlight again.
For homeowners thinking about selling in Montgomery County, this is encouraging news. Demand remains strong, and well-positioned homes are still seeing great activity.
Other Markets Are Starting To Balance Out
While Montgomery County remains especially strong for sellers, many other areas are beginning to shift toward a more balanced market.
That does not mean buyers suddenly have all the power. In fact, the areas we serve in both Pennsylvania and North Carolina are not fully buyer’s markets at this point. However, we are seeing signs that some markets are becoming less aggressive than they were over the past few years.
This can be good news for both sides.
For buyers, a more balanced market can mean more breathing room, more options, and potentially more negotiating opportunities.
For sellers, it means pricing, preparation, and presentation matter more than ever.
What We’re Seeing in Coastal North Carolina
In southeastern North Carolina, we are also seeing some movement toward a more balanced market, especially in certain areas like Brunswick County.
Coastal North Carolina continues to attract buyers from areas like Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and beyond. Many are drawn to the lifestyle, weather, beaches, retirement options, and overall quality of life.
Even as inventory and market conditions shift, prices in many areas are still showing appreciation over time. The market may feel different than it did during the height of the frenzy, but real estate remains highly local.
Why Local Data Matters
County-wide statistics are helpful, but they only tell part of the story.
A market update can give you a bird’s-eye view, but real estate values can vary dramatically from one town to the next — and even from one neighborhood or street to another.
That is why we always recommend looking at your specific area, community, and property type before making any major decisions.
We track median sales price, market activity, inventory, days on market, and other key indicators, but we can also pull a much more specific report for your home, neighborhood, or target area.
Is It Still a Good Time To Buy or Sell?
The answer depends on your goals.
It is always a good time to buy the right piece of real estate when it fits your budget, lifestyle, and long-term plans. It is also still a strong time for many sellers, especially in areas where demand remains high and inventory is limited.
The key is having the right strategy.
If you are thinking about moving in the next few months — or even within the next three years — it is never too early to start the conversation. Planning ahead can help you understand your options, prepare financially, and make confident decisions when the time is right.
