ROCKY MOUNT, N.C. (Stacker.com) — Stacker’s series on where people are coming from who are looking to purchase homes in locations in Eastern North Carolina continues with a stop in Rocky Mount.
The series began last Friday with Greenville and continued through the weekend with Jacksonville on Saturday and New Bern on Sunday.
The number of homes on the market is well below pre-pandemic levels nationwide, and that scarcity is keeping home prices elevated even as sales have slowed in the past year.
As Americans navigate an ever-complicated market, online house hunting has become an essential part of the process. A 2021 National Association of Realtors report showed 97% of homebuyers used online websites when searching for a home in the United States.
Friday: Greenville | Saturday: Jacksonville | Sunday: New Bern | Tuesday: Goldsboro
