Beaufort real estate Market Report.

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

Beaufort currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 33 but not at an extreme. With about 6.8 months of supply, conditions suggest a slight seller’s edge even as buyers have more time to decide.

Several indicators help explain this balance between buyers and sellers. Homes typically list around $458,900 while the typical home value is about $439,950, and only about 8% of recent sales closed above list, with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 0.99.

Momentum has shifted recently, as typical home values are down about 23% year over year and month over month, while inventory is up roughly 24% annually to 82 homes. At the same time, pending sales have more than doubled year over year, median days on market have dropped by more than 60% to 52 days, and modest price drops on about 12% of listings show some flexibility, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from using Agent Pronto to find an agent who understands these trends.

Learn more about what Beaufort has to offer.

Beaufort offers residents a welcoming harbor-town lifestyle with a tight-knit community, scenic waterfronts, rich history, and a steady rhythm of outdoor recreation and local events.

Beaufort is a historic waterfront town offering walkable streets, deep maritime roots, and easy access to both everyday services and coastal recreation. Life here centers on the water, with the harbor, marinas, and nearby islands shaping how residents work, play, and get around.

Downtown’s compact layout makes errands and dining straightforward. Along the waterfront you will find locally owned spots like Front Street Grill at Stillwater and the Beaufort Grocery Company, along with galleries and shops that stay active throughout the year. Families appreciate learning options such as Beaufort Elementary School and access to the Carteret County Public Library, while healthcare, banking, and daily conveniences are close at hand.

Outdoor access is a major advantage. Residents can explore Rachel Carson Reserve by kayak, enjoy nearby Fort Macon State Park, or head across the water to Shackleford Banks. The historic district and North Carolina Maritime Museum highlight the town’s seafaring past, and regular events keep a steady community rhythm.

Whether you are relocating from Raleigh, comparing coastal options near New Bern, or already living along the Crystal Coast, understanding Beaufort’s tides, neighborhoods, and market cycles is crucial. A local Agent Pronto recommended agent can interpret subtle differences between streets, HOA rules, and flood considerations, helping both buyers and sellers move forward with less stress and more confidence.

“We had a wonderful experience working with Jeff. From the beginning his approach was thoughtful and well-planned. The marketing was outstanding with beautiful photography, great drone shots, and a listing description that truly captured our home. Jeff was strategic in how he positioned and marketed everything, set clear expectations, and kept us informed throughout the process. He was always responsive and brought a level of knowledge and confidence that made the experience feel smooth and extremely well-managed especially with my Type A personality! We went under contract within just a few days, received multiple offers, and sold for over asking, which we were so happy with. His assistants Ashli, Hannah, and Brenna were also fantastic to work with and made everything that much easier along the way. We would absolutely recommend Jeff to anyone looking to sell or buy!”

Pointed out possible issues with houses we were looking at, constantly took us step-by-step on what the next steps would be for the purchase, and worked hard around the clock. (Seriously, she'd be texting us and emailing us at midnight!) Highly recommend working with Pamela. She's the best!”

“Sue Simpson has been a trusted, proven professional that my wife and I have had the opportunity to work with on three occassions over the past 22 years. I would call no other agent to assist us with the preparation and listing of an unusual size home for the area: one with a unique floor plan and a desirable lot. We very much needed an experienced realtor with precise knowledge of area market trends and home values for this transaction; Sue Simpson was fantastic. Thank you - Scott & Emily Easton PS - It's really hot in Florida.”
