Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).
Year-over-year, Chapel Hill’s rolling three-month data shows notable price growth, with the typical home value up nearly 20 percent and the median list price up about 15 percent. At the same time, homes are taking slightly longer to sell than a year ago, as median days on market have inched up and the average sale-to-list ratio has slipped just under 100 percent.
Inventory conditions have shifted as well, with active listings up roughly 22 percent compared with last year and months of supply climbing to about four, a sizable increase from prior levels. Even with more options, about a quarter of recent sales still closed above list price, indicating that well-positioned homes can still attract strong offers.
Looking at the latest rolling three-month period through August 2026, buyers are seeing more choices, with 431 active listings, while sellers are encountering a market that demands realistic pricing and some patience, given a median 40 days on market. With 169 homes sold and 156 pending in this window, Chapel Hill continues to see steady movement, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers connect with an agent who understands these evolving trends.

“Working with Pamela was an answer to our family's prayers. Selling a home can be a wild and stressful journey, especially when you are juggling a simultaneous purchase with shifting dates, but Pamela navigated all the twists and turns with ease and got our house sold in exactly 19 days! Her communication is top-notch, and she took so much of the burden off our plate, making a highly stressful situation feel easy and manageable despite the very tight deadlines. I've never met someone who cares about their craft with such a high level of professionalism, heart, and dedication. She completely shattered our expectations and delivered results far greater than I ever hoped for. 'Above and beyond' doesn't even begin to describe how impressed we are with her. Pamela is, without a doubt, the greatest realtor by a mile. If you need a listing agent, she is the one!”
