Holly Ridge real estate Market Report.

Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Holly Ridge real estate market, updated for April 2026. *

Inventory in Holly Ridge has been climbing, with 66 homes on the market and a sizable 40.43% increase from the previous month. New listings are active at 29 for the month, up 31.82% year over year, giving buyers more options than they had last year. Pending sales sit at 17, and the market gauge of 39 still tilts conditions toward sellers even with this added supply.

Pricing is adjusting to this new balance between supply and demand. The typical home value is about $296,500, down 25.41% from a year ago and 24.36% from last month, while the median list price has softened to $394,000 after a 13.31% monthly dip. Compared with Onslow County’s typical value of $312,900, Holly Ridge is currently pricing a bit lower, and projections show the local typical value and median list price trending further down in April to about $248,750 and $363,750.

Homes are taking some time to sell, with a median of 51 days on market, though that is down 32.89% from last month even after a large year-over-year jump. About 24% of listings have seen a price drop, and only 10% of recent sales closed above asking, with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 0.99. With projected inventory rising to 75 homes and Onslow County holding a much larger pool of 1,227 listings, both buyers and sellers in Holly Ridge can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local agent who understands these shifting conditions.

Learn more about what Holly Ridge has to offer.

Holly Ridge offers residents a welcoming small-town community with convenient amenities, well-maintained parks, local shops and services, family-friendly events, and easy access to outdoor recreation and nearby opportunities.

Holly Ridge offers a quieter, more close-knit experience than nearby beach towns like Surf City or bustling Wilmington, yet it keeps you minutes from the coast and major routes. Locals value the town’s modest scale, friendly neighborhoods, and easy access to both work and recreation along the Hampstead and Jacksonville corridor.

Outdoor life is a major draw. Residents head to Holly Ridge Municipal Park for ballfields, playgrounds, and community events, or launch kayaks and boats nearby toward Topsail Island. Families appreciate resources like Southwest Elementary School and the Holly Ridge branch of Onslow County Public Library, which help anchor the town’s sense of community. Military households also find convenient access to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, shaping a stable yet mobile housing market.

Everyday conveniences are growing around the US 17 corridor, and local favorites such as Holly Ridge Community Center and Holly Ridge Recreation Programs keep residents connected through sports, festivals, and seasonal activities.

With inventory shifting quickly and demand influenced by both beach buyers and military moves, timing and preparation matter. The right local agent can help you understand pricing, new construction options, and resale trends specific to Holly Ridge. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with agents who know how to navigate this market so you can be ready when the right opportunity appears.

“We had a wonderful experience working with Jeff. From the beginning his approach was thoughtful and well-planned. The marketing was outstanding with beautiful photography, great drone shots, and a listing description that truly captured our home. Jeff was strategic in how he positioned and marketed everything, set clear expectations, and kept us informed throughout the process. He was always responsive and brought a level of knowledge and confidence that made the experience feel smooth and extremely well-managed especially with my Type A personality! We went under contract within just a few days, received multiple offers, and sold for over asking, which we were so happy with. His assistants Ashli, Hannah, and Brenna were also fantastic to work with and made everything that much easier along the way. We would absolutely recommend Jeff to anyone looking to sell or buy!”

“Chris EXCEEDED our expectations. We have not bought a home in over 20 years and his knowledge, professionalism and above and beyond availability to answer every single question we had was impressive. He knew a house was out there for us and he found it! From the start of house hunting to closing, he was constantly in contact (even once during a Christmas vacation!). Moving from 14 hours away, he was our eyes and ears, and we cannot thank him enough for his true honesty. We will definitely use Chris again (but we hope to never sell!) Thank you does not even seem like enough, and we are so grateful for your expertise Chris!”

“Working with Liz was an amazing experience during the purchase of our first home! Liz was pivotal in us figuring out our ideal home style and what was around that fit our needs. Once we found THE home for us Liz worked even harder to get us the best price and all of the best inspectors and lawyers to complete the process. We couldn't imagine going this process again with anyone but Liz and will be referencing her to all of our friends!”

“Sue Simpson has been a trusted, proven professional that my wife and I have had the opportunity to work with on three occassions over the past 22 years. I would call no other agent to assist us with the preparation and listing of an unusual size home for the area: one with a unique floor plan and a desirable lot. We very much needed an experienced realtor with precise knowledge of area market trends and home values for this transaction; Sue Simpson was fantastic. Thank you - Scott & Emily Easton PS - It's really hot in Florida.”
