Best In North Carolina Real Estate™: Wilmington

St. James leads North Carolina in new home construction — with 53.7% of homes built since 2010, according to ALEX Intelligence’s October 31, 2026, data report. This isn't just about age; it's about momentum. The city's housing stock reflects a decade of continuous, forward-looking development — a strategic differentiator in a region where many areas still grapple with post-2008 inventory cycles. For investors and families alike, this newness translates to lower maintenance, faster sales, and stronger long-term value. How does a city stay ahead of the curve in housing evolution? The answer is in the data: St. James is building the future — now. https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-31-wilmington-recent-stock-share-place-mkt Share of Homes Built Since 2010, top 10 (ALEX Intelligence — U.S. Census Bureau 2024) #1 St. James — 53.7% #2 Leland — 49.2% #3 Hampstead — 39.2% #4 Carolina Shores — 30.6% #5 Myrtle Grove — 29.8% #6 Ogden — 28.3% #7 Oak Island — 26.7% #8 Silver Lake — 25.9% #9 Wrightsboro — 24.4% #10 Porters Neck — 20.4% Photos via Wikimedia Commons: Slide 1: Edward Orde (CC BY-SA 4.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=53170507; Slide 2: Edward Orde (CC BY-SA 4.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=53139292; Slide 3: Gerry Dincher from Hope Mills, NC (CC BY-SA 2.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=74844345; Slide 4: Idawriter (CC BY-SA 3.0) https://commons.wikimedia.org/?curid=53850502 Source: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-10-31-wilmington-recent-stock-share-place-mkt View and join any or all of our communities — AI, quantum, and real estate: https://alex-companies.com/reports/linkedin-groups If there's an AI, quantum, or real estate community you'd like to see us convene, tell us — this portfolio grows by request.
