Three Major Forces Currently Affecting Housing in Moore County

1) Stable but Limited New Policy Changes

February did not produce major zoning shifts or moratoriums, keeping development conditions steady.

2) Relocation Demand from Surrounding Growth Areas

Spillover interest from Wake and Harnett continues to support pricing stability in key Moore County submarkets.

3) Selective Residential Project Filings

Smaller infill and custom-home development applications remain active.
