Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Southport real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Southport currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 23 indicating a Seller's Market. Homes are typically priced below the broader county, with a typical home value of $92,500 compared with $154,255 in Chemung County. Inventory is relatively limited at 14 homes, which helps keep some leverage on the seller side.
Recent trends help explain this balance. Median days on market have dropped sharply to 44 days, falling about 54 percent since last month and nearly 48 percent since last year, so homes are moving more quickly even as values decline.
Prices and listing activity tell a more cautious story for both sides. The typical home value is down 24.8 percent year over year and 14.55 percent month over month, and the median list price of $159,900 is projected to ease to about $142,375 next month. Inventory has ticked up 16.67 percent from last month and is projected to edge up to 15 homes, while 21 percent of listings saw a price drop and no recent sales closed above list, with an average sale-to-list ratio around 0.90. With months of supply at 3.5 and 7 new listings but only 6 pending sales, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these shifting dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Southport offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with scenic waterfronts, abundant outdoor recreation, and convenient access to shops, services, and quality local schools.
Southport offers a quieter, more residential feel than nearby Elmira, yet keeps you close to daily conveniences, major employers, and regional attractions. Many streets feature well‑kept single family homes, mature trees, and long term neighbors who know one another by name, giving the town a grounded, everyday character that appeals to both first time buyers and downsizers.
Outdoor recreation is a major part of local life. Residents enjoy easy access to the Chemung River for kayaking and fishing, while parks like Chapel Park provide ballfields, playgrounds, and community events. Families value the area’s connection to the Elmira City School District, local youth sports, and nearby higher education at Elmira College.
Daily errands are straightforward, with grocery options, small businesses, and services located along key corridors into Horseheads and Corning. Quick access to regional routes makes commuting to Ithaca or Binghamton manageable, while the broader Chemung County area supplies additional jobs, shopping, and healthcare.
Whether you are getting your home market ready or timing a move into Southport, preparation is essential in this competitive regional market. The right agent can help you understand current pricing, local demand, and how Southport compares with nearby communities. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with a real estate professional who knows the area and is ready to guide your next step.
