An example, not a quote: 20% down, 30-year fixed at 7.03% (Freddie Mac average, 2026-09-24); Brunswick County rate 0.342 per $100 (NC Department of Revenue, 2025-26 county rates); town taxes add more inside town limits; insurance, upkeep (1% of value a year) and utilities are typical estimates. If your home is paid off, the mortgage line drops out — the rest still adds up.

The MLS doesn't record why a contract ends. In our experience the most common reasons are home inspection findings, appraisals that come in below the price, and buyer financing. How buyers paid on closed sales: conventional 47% · cash 6% · VA 11% · FHA 36%.
If you're selling
- Priced-right listings sold in a typical 13 days. Listings that needed a price cut sat for 77 days and still sold at 93.5% of asking.
- Homes that never sold sat a median 142 days before the listing ended.
- 1 in 8 contracts fell apart before closing here, most often inspection, appraisal or financing issues. Most of those homes (94%) went on to sell later, at 97.7% of asking.
- Waiting on an overpriced listing costs real money: about $13,200 estimated in carrying costs for a typical home while it sits unsold.
If you're buying
- More than half of Navassa homes (52%) sold below the first asking price. There's room to negotiate.
- Homes that don't sell often sit a long time first, a median 142 days, before the listing ends.
