Summer Buyer Real Estate Activity Slower in Bear Trap Dunes

The summer and golf seasons are well underway, and we’ve enjoyed seeing so many of you return to the beaches, bays, golf courses and restaurants that make our area such a special place to call home! After a strong April for real estate sales in Ocean View, there was some slowdown in May. During the month, 25 properties went under contract —compared to 34 in May of 2024.

In your community of Bear Trap Dunes, 2 properties went under contract in May—compared to 1 last year. As the chart illustrates, year-to-date, both the number of properties under contract and total sales volume are up considerably. For well over a year now, we’ve been noting an upward trend in inventory, and that surely continues in Bear Trap. So far this year, properties that do go under contract are taking just under 2 weeks to do so.

With the busy golf season upon us, it is a great time to look at homes as a buyer and a great time to list if you are thinking of selling.   If we can offer you any real estate guidance, please call our Bear Trap Expert:
