Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Chowan County real estate market. *
September 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 (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Chowan County has grown meaningfully over the past year, with active listings up more than 50 percent even after a modest month-to-month decline in September. Contract activity is solid, as homes sold have climbed nearly 29 percent year over year and pending sales are up almost 50 percent, signaling steady buyer interest.
Pricing is adjusting to this fuller supply, with the typical home value down about 12 percent from a year ago and the median list price nearly 6 percent lower. At the same time, about a quarter of recent sales closed above asking price and the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 100 percent, showing that well-priced homes still attract strong offers.
Timing dynamics are shifting too, with the median days on market dropping by roughly half compared with last year even as months of supply has expanded to just over four months. Conditions lean toward a buyer’s market relative to North Carolina overall, where prices are higher and supply somewhat thicker, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local agent who understands how to navigate this environment.
