“Best decision my wife and I made was to have this wonderful husband and wife team sell our house! We were previously with a different agent who we felt didn’t understand the tough townhome market in the area. We were wanting more guidance on the market, more pro-active communication from our relator, and knowledge on how to effectively price our home. We found ALL OF THIS with the Sold by Starkey Team! Within a few weeks of Kevin & Amanda becoming our new realtors we sold our home! The entire process was so smooth and we were kept informed on current market trends and the selling process the entire time. This team really shines with understanding the local market and providing constant communication! Real Estate is not a hobby for this team, they are true realtors! We highly recommend Sold by Starkey team - You won't be disappointed!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Hillsborough’s rolling three-month prices have eased even as activity has picked up. The typical home value over this period is about $441,000, down around 7 percent from a year ago, while the number of homes sold is up roughly 25 percent.
Supply and time on market are also moving in ways that favor buyers more than last year. Active listings are up about 16 percent and months of supply has climbed more than 50 percent to 3.3 months, with the median home now spending 35 days on the market, about 11 percent longer than a year ago.
From a pricing-power standpoint, conditions have cooled compared with prior years even though it is still labeled a seller’s market. Only about 13 percent of homes are selling above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 99 percent, so both pricing and negotiation matter, and Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with an agent who knows how to navigate these trends.

“Addie was AMAZING! She really represents her clients well. She is there every step of the way. I couldn't be more satisfied with the level of service she provided.”
“We had the best experience working with Sonia and Chris to sell our home. They walked with us through every step of the process, were always transparent, and truly fought for us when challenges came up. When the home didn’t appraise, they got creative, did the research, and submitted additional information that helped the buyer secure additional funding through the VA to keep the deal moving forward. Their communication, effort, and willingness to find solutions made a huge difference. Great experience from start to finish, and we will absolutely use Sonia and Chris again when buying or selling!”
“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!”
“Second time buying a home with Sue and plan to use her down the road as well! She's knowledgeable, professional, and looks out for the things you don't think of as a buyer viewing a home for the first time.”
“Phillip was awesome to deal with and he was very informative. He was great on communication and was a delight to work with. I will definitely use him again and highly recommend him.”
“Pj delivered an excellent job. Thank you again for all you did.”
“Nic was a pleasure to work with! He kept us up to date on all issues, returned calls, texts, and emails very promptly. Well Done Nic!”
“No problems, no questions, everything done professionally and online. Thanks! ”
“Sandy was very professional and caring. She seemed to handle any problem that arose in a very professional manner. I always felt she had my interest at hand.”
