Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Carthage real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Carthage is seeing a moderate level of activity, with 43 homes on the market and 23 new listings in the latest month. Pending sales reached 20, which is down 13.04% from last year, and with 3.3 months of supply, conditions still tilt toward a seller’s market.
Pricing is adjusting as this flow of homes changes, with the typical home value at $199,900 after a 9.02% decline over the past year and a 6.98% drop just since last month. At the same time, sellers are testing higher price points, as the median list price also sits at $199,900 and jumped 11.12% month over month while about 23% of listings took a price cut.
Looking ahead to March 2026, typical values are projected to ease slightly to about $192,400, while the projected median list price edges up to around $209,900 and inventory is expected to hover near 40 homes. With homes selling faster than a year ago at a median of 35 days on market and Jasper County showing similar values at $199,900, both buyers and sellers in Carthage can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding the right real estate agent to navigate these shifting trends.
