Chapel Hill real estate Market Report.

Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Chapel Hill real estate market, updated for April 2026. *

Year-over-year, Chapel Hill’s housing picture shows notable shifts, with typical home values down about 16.35% to roughly $502,500 even as Orange County values dipped a milder 5.97% to about $500,000. At the same time, activity is picking up, with pending sales jumping 40.98% and new listings rising 37.36% compared to last year, signaling more movement on both sides of the table.

In March 2026, buyers saw a median list price of about $649,000 and roughly 61 days on market, which is up 258.82% from a year ago and nearly 13% from the prior month. Despite longer listing times and a 21.56% share of homes with price drops, Chapel Hill is still labeled a Seller’s Market with a market gauge of 19, just under 4 months of supply, and about 23.81% of homes selling above list at an average 97.86% sale-to-list ratio.

Looking ahead to April 2026, typical home values are projected around $493,750 while the median list price is expected to edge higher toward $674,000, and inventory is projected to grow from 167 to about 186 homes. Since Orange County’s projected typical value of roughly $510,028 moves in a different direction than Chapel Hill’s, local expertise becomes especially important for interpreting these trends, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these nuances.

“The Starkeys are true professionals with deep expertise in real estate transactions, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients. From the start, they set clear expectations for every aspect of selling our home and consistently followed up to keep everything on track. Amanda and Kevin work seamlessly as a team. Amanda provided invaluable guidance on staging, helping our home look its absolute best, while Kevin expertly led us through evaluating offers and negotiating terms. We felt aligned with his strategy throughout, including how to handle offers and inspection requests. Their approach delivered excellent results—we received multiple offers within just two days and ultimately sold to a wonderful couple, which meant a lot to us given how much pride we took in our home. I would highly recommend the Starkeys and would happily work with them again in the future.”
