Last week we looked at the Swansboro/Hubert Housing market in Onslow County, North Carolina and discussed how it was fairing in the current real estate market.

This week, we are moving down the road to Richlands, a small, friendly town and outlying rural area which has been one of the more active residential areas in Onslow County in the past year. Military families relocating to Camp LeJeune have found this area very affordable and convenient.

Richlands, NC home prices have held pretty steady and sales have been relatively good.... but as in other areas, the number of days on the market has seen a dramatic increase. Compared to many residential markets, the Onslow County NC real estate market has remained for the most part, stable.
