🏆 Ranked #1 in North Carolina Real Estate Intelligence — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. Wilmington’s housing market is not growing evenly. Brunswick County is building at 5.68 times the rate of New Hanover County — a structural imbalance with long-term implications. This data, drawn directly from ALEX Intelligence’s latest analysis, shows that development is concentrating in the periphery, while the historic urban core lags. How does this affect your strategy?
