Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Beaufort County real estate market. *
July 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026).
Beaufort County is seeing a slower pace of activity with just 21 homes sold in July, down sharply from the prior month and from a year ago. New listings inched up to 47 and active inventory hovered around 224 homes, so options for buyers have expanded relative to closed sales. Pending sales rose month over month to 38, suggesting some recent pickup in contracts even as overall closings lag.
Pricing is adjusting to this shift in demand and supply. The typical home value in July was about $319,000, down notably from June but still slightly higher than a year earlier, while the median list price climbed more than 24 percent year over year to roughly $348,000.
Homes are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market stretching to 64 days and months of supply jumping to 9.3, firmly in buyer’s market territory compared with North Carolina’s 4.3 months. Sellers are also seeing less pricing power, with the average sale-to-list ratio at about 96 percent and no recent sales closing above list price, a clear contrast to earlier months when bidding above asking was more common. With Beaufort County moving differently than the broader state and conditions shifting quickly between buyers and sellers, Agent Pronto can connect both sides with a local agent who understands how to navigate this market.
Beaufort County offers residents a warm, welcoming community with rich coastal scenery, abundant outdoor recreation, diverse cultural and educational opportunities, and a strong sense of local pride that supports families and small businesses.
Beaufort County stands apart from nearby inland communities with its wide Pamlico River views and easy access to coastal waters, yet it maintains a relaxed, close‑knit feel. Washington anchors the area with a historic downtown, riverfront boardwalk, and cultural spots like the Turnage Theatre and North Carolina Estuarium. Waterfront parks and public docks make it common to see neighbors gathering at sunset or launching boats before work.
Smaller towns such as Chocowinity and Belhaven provide quieter streets and quick trips to fishing grounds, while communities like Bath offer deep roots and walkable historic districts. Families appreciate local schools such as Washington High School and access to lifelong learning at Beaufort County Community College. Outdoor time is a way of life, from paddling creeks off the Pamlico to exploring Goose Creek State Park or enjoying youth sports at Susiegray McConnell Sports Complex.
Housing here ranges from historic homes in Washington to rural acreage and newer neighborhoods in Chocowinity. With interest in coastal and riverfront property growing from places like Greenville and Pitt County, timing and preparation matter. Agent Pronto connects you with a local real estate professional who understands Beaufort County’s neighborhoods, pricing shifts, and seasonal patterns, helping both buyers and sellers move confidently.

“Travis was excellent to work with. He was almost always available and could answer your questions, if he didn't know right then, he would find out quickly. He was very knowledgeable in all aspects of his work. I felt very confident working with him and would do it again.”
“All I can say is " what a find " in regards to having the opportunity to meet Jeff Lesley & his team. My wife & I have purchased our fair share of homes over the years & worked with quite a few realtors. But, we must say that this home purchase was the smoothest, easiest, home purchase yet. Jeff & his team of Ashli, Hannah, & Brenna all assisted in making this the most painless process ever. Always there when we had questions, never questioned any moves that we wanted to make in negotiations, our needs were first & foremost in this process. Ashli & Jeff were with us all the way til the end. If we ever make another purchase in the area that Jeff & his team covers we will undoubtbly use their services. Actually, they are looking into a lot for us to purchase. This team comes highly recommened from The McFadden Family. PS - And the family culture that they possess doesnt stop after your settlement, they throw some very cool gatherings! Thank you again Jeff Lesley & team”
