Brunswick County sees growth, realtors excited

Brunswick County keeps getting bigger.

New numbers show it’s the 38th fastest growing county in the U.S. realtors are encouraged by the statistic released by the census bureau last week. There’s an estimated 50 percent increase in population. The numbers reflect 2000 to 2009 changes.

The coastal lifestyle along with steady population growth is a winning combination for agents in Brunswick County.

“People just want to be in this area. More people want to be here in the area, than want to move away from it. Which I think it s a good key thing,” Coldwell Banker Realtor, Sean Skutnik said.

Horry County in South Carolina was also one of the fastest growing. From 2000 to 2009, its population grew by 34 percent.
