Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Chowan County real estate market. *
May 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 (May 2026).
Inventory in Chowan County has been climbing, with active listings up from 105 in April to 119 in May and slightly above last year. At the same time, contract activity is mixed, as homes sold doubled month over month to 22 while pending sales slipped about 4 percent from April and are down more than 12 percent year over year.
Pricing is adjusting to these shifts, with the typical home value rising over 6 percent from April to May and more than 21 percent compared with a year ago. By contrast, the median list price fell sharply month over month and is down nearly 19 percent year over year, suggesting sellers may be positioning their homes more aggressively to attract offers.
Time on market and supply levels also show a changing landscape, with median days on market at 63, down slightly from April but far higher than a year earlier. Months of supply has tightened to 4.1 from 8 in April and sits just under the 4.3 months seen across North Carolina, while nearly 24 percent of recent sales closed above list with an average sale-to-list ratio near 100 percent, underscoring a neutral market where neither side has a clear edge. Buyers and sellers can both benefit from a local expert who understands these nuances, and Agent Pronto can connect them with the right real estate agent to navigate Chowan County conditions effectively.

She guided my wife and I through every detail and negotiated a final sale price that exceeded our expectations. If you want a knowledgeable, proactive, and genuinely caring agent, look no further than her! She is the best there is!”
“Once again Sonia and her husband came through for us. The first time when we bought our new home, this time when we sold the old home. They made the selling experience very easy. They worked very hard to get us showings and it happened very quickly. 10/10! Thank you guys for all your hard work.”
“For a new construction project that had some important steps to work through, Jeff had the knowledge and experience to get the job over the line and on time. I would absolutely recommend working with Jeff on any real estate sales needs and will be using him and his team again”
“thank u for everything and helping me along the way.”
“We absolutely loved Mitzy! She was knowledgeable, incredibly nice, and down to Earth. My husband and I especially appreciated how accommodating she was to our schedules. She constantly advocated for us throughout and beyond closing which was really awesome for us first time homebuyers. I would HIGHLY suggest if this is your first time buying a home go with Mitzy!!”
“Kevin and The Sold by Starkey Team were phenomenal! As first time homebuyers who had very little idea of the process, but had properties already in mind, Kevin was able to jump right in getting us information and putting offers in. Him and Autumn were involved in every step of the process, handling as much of the communication as they could and providing guidance in times of uncertainty, which took a lot of the stress off our shoulders. We will 100% be recommending them to everyone!”
“Ava from Century 21 was absolutely fantastic to work with. She went above and beyond to help us find the right home and secure a great deal. For over two months, she patiently guided us through the process and never hesitated to travel up to an hour from her office so we could explore homes across the area. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. We’re truly grateful for her hard work and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top‑tier realtor.”
“I've known Bill Lumpp for years and observed his personal, social and business practices from the outside. When time to select an agent I felt Bill would be the most transparent individual to represent us in the sell of our house. He gave solid pre-listing recommendations of what to "fix" and what to not worry about along with setting a realistic yet agressive price that attracted potential buyers immediately. Once under contract, Bill guided us, again providing direction on how to respond to unrealistic requests or counter-offer to our advantage. The whole process went much smoother than I had ever envisioned. Bill is very knowledgeble about an amazing amount of facets within the real estate business and is very fair when time to negotiate. Give Bill Lumpp a chance if you are ready to sell and you won't regret it.”

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.
