“The Starkeys are true professionals with deep expertise in real estate transactions, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients. From the start, they set clear expectations for every aspect of selling our home and consistently followed up to keep everything on track. Amanda and Kevin work seamlessly as a team. Amanda provided invaluable guidance on staging, helping our home look its absolute best, while Kevin expertly led us through evaluating offers and negotiating terms. We felt aligned with his strategy throughout, including how to handle offers and inspection requests. Their approach delivered excellent results—we received multiple offers within just two days and ultimately sold to a wonderful couple, which meant a lot to us given how much pride we took in our home. I would highly recommend the Starkeys and would happily work with them again in the future.”

Franklin County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Franklin County real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Over the past year, Franklin County home values have risen 3.64 percent, landing at a typical value of about $399,000. That is slightly above the North Carolina average of $381,900, even as the state has seen a small 0.6 percent decline. Year over year, buyers are also seeing more time on the market, with typical days on market up 28.3 percent.
Looking at March 2026 specifically, homes spent a median of 68 days on the market, though that is down nearly 21 percent from the prior month, suggesting activity has picked up. Inventory reached 431 homes, up modestly from last month and last year, while 167 new listings came on and 151 went under contract, a 26.89 percent jump in pending sales versus a year ago.
Pricing trends show some negotiation room, as about 32 percent of listings saw a price drop and only around 9 percent sold above list, with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 0.99. The market is still tilted toward sellers, with about 4.4 months of supply and a seller’s market gauge reading of 29, yet the projected typical home value for April edges slightly down to $398,500 as the projected median list price moves up to $401,777 and inventory to 434. In this kind of mixed but generally seller-leaning environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto connecting them with a skilled local agent.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
