Beaufort real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Beaufort real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Beaufort is currently tilted toward buyers, with the market gauge firmly at 100 and months of supply at 6.3 indicating plenty of options. With inventory at 75 homes and a median days on market of 151, sellers are generally waiting longer for offers and have less leverage in negotiations.
Prices, however, are still moving upward, which helps explain the mixed signals in this market. The typical home value has climbed to about $537,500, up 14.37% from last year and 10.37% in just the last month, while the median list price is $525,000 and only 0.98% higher than a month ago.
Further underscoring the shift toward buyers, pending sales are down 66.67% year over year and new listings have fallen 21.05%, even as inventory is 41.51% higher than a year ago. With only 25% of homes selling above list price, an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.97, and nearby Carteret County showing a higher typical value of $565,800, both buyers and sellers in Beaufort can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands how to navigate these conditions.

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.
