DIFFERENT GOALS, SAME MARKET.

What August's data means depending on where you sit

If you're buying, more new listings and slightly longer days on the market mean more selection and less pressure to rush a decision.

If you're selling, pending sales up over 14% and closings up 12% mean serious buyers are still out there, ready to act on the right home.

Same market, different strategy depending on your goal.

A closing is the end of a transaction. It's not the end of a relationship.

I've stayed in touch with clients years after their keys changed hands—not because it's good business (though it is), but because a home isn't just a purchase. It's where someone's life happens next. That matters to me long after the paperwork is signed.

When you work with DBRE, you're not a file that gets closed and forgotten. You're someone we genuinely care about—through the sale and long after it.

That's the standard we've built this brokerage on, and it's not changing.

The Season Is Shifting 🍂

Summer's winding down, and with it comes a quieter, more deliberate stretch of the market—families settling in before the school year, buyers who spent the summer looking finally ready to decide.

If you've been circling a decision all summer, this is often the moment it clicks.

Deals Are Getting Done ✅

Closed sales across the Wilmington MSA are up over 12% year-over-year—real transactions, real momentum, not just listings sitting on the market.

Whether you're buying or selling, this is a market where things are actually happening.

"I never heard of a home being sold as fast as mine." 💛

Christine's experience with Marie Howard-Griffin says it all — professionalism, genuine care, and the kind of relationship that doesn't end at closing.

Thank you for trusting us, Christine! Looking for that same level of care? We'd love to help.

Every city has a downtown. Wilmington's is different. 🏛️

The Cape Fear River on one side, 230 years of architecture on the other. Independent restaurants, walkable streets, and real estate that holds its value because the neighborhood earned it for two centuries.

Price improvement in Shallotte 💰

This quarter-acre homesite is now priced at $9,000, down from $15,600 — minutes from the Shallotte River and just a short drive to Holden Beach.

Cleared and ready for the right buyer, whether that's a cash investor or someone ready to build.

WHAT THE NUMBERS SAY

A broker's read on the mid-summer market

More listings. More closings. Slightly longer days on the market, but nothing close to a slowdown—homes are still moving, just with a bit more breathing room than the frenzy of spring.

If you're selling, price it right and it'll move. If you're buying, you finally have room to be selective without losing out.

Meet The Graham Team 🏡

Christopher and Dezarae Graham are Leland natives—a husband-and-wife team who've watched the Cape Fear region grow from the inside, not the outside looking in.

From first-time homebuyers navigating a competitive market to luxury coastal sales to new construction in Leland's fastest-growing neighborhoods, their local roots mean you get insight most advisors simply can't offer.

Working with a team means you're never without support—two perspectives, one coordinated effort, on every transaction.
