Locust real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Locust real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Locust’s housing supply has expanded, with 49 homes on the market and inventory up about 6 percent from last month. New listings are active as well, with 25 properties recently added and pending sales up more than 30 percent year over year. Even with this activity, a 3.5 months’ supply and a Seller's Market gauge of 29 suggest sellers still hold some advantage.
Homes are taking longer to sell overall, sitting a median of 85 days, which is nearly double compared to a year ago, but that timeframe has shortened by about 22 percent since last month. Roughly 34 percent of listings have had a price drop, and about 21 percent of homes are still selling above list price, with an average sale-to-list ratio just under 0.99, showing buyers and sellers are negotiating more.
Pricing is responding to these conditions, as the typical home value in Locust is about $398,923, higher than the Stanly County average of $334,450 and up just over 6 percent year over year. The median list price has climbed to $450,000, rising about 12 percent month over month, and projections for April point to a typical value near $423,261 with a median list price around $475,000 and inventory holding near 50 homes. With pricing trends, shifting days on market, and a still seller-leaning environment, both buyers and sellers in Locust can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting them with a local agent who understands these dynamics.

“Here’s a polished, heartfelt review you can use or Working with Marti was truly an incredible experience from start to finish. She made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth, organized, and even enjoyable. From the very beginning, Marti was attentive, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping me find exactly what I needed. Her knowledge of the market, attention to detail, and ability to guide me through every step gave me so much confidence. She always took the time to explain things clearly, answer my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable with every decision. What stood out most was how much she truly cares about her clients. I never felt like just another transaction—Marti made me feel valued and supported the entire time. I would absolutely recommend Marti to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. You won’t find someone more dedicated, professional, and kind.”

“Selling our home was an emotional experience for us because it meant downsizing and closing a chapter of our lives. Even though it wasn’t an easy decision, working with Kat Miller made the process far better than we expected.From the very beginning, Kat was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and supportive. She guided us through every step of the process, answered all of our questions promptly, and handled every detail with care. Her expertise in pricing, marketing, and negotiations helped ensure that everything went smoothly and that we felt confident in every decision we made. What stood out most was her patience and understanding. She recognized that this wasn’t a move but a major life transition—and she treated it with the respect and sensitivity it deserved.Thanks to her hard work and dedication, the sale was handled efficiently and professionally. We would absolutely reccomend Kat to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and compassionate realtor.”

“We can't speak highly enough of Jill. We met her when we were in the very early stages of exploring NC before we even knew if we were serious about moving. We walked into her open house and she was so sweet and knowledgeable about the area. We kept in contact for several months and then my husband ended up getting a job in Charlotte. We were looking for houses while still living in CA which has an added level of stress, but she made everything so easy. She's not pushy but gives her opinion and it's so easy to see that she wants you to be in best house for you. This was also our first time buying a house and she made me a feel so comfortable with the whole process. We loved working with her and highly, highly recommend her!”

“Lin was absolutely amazing!! I've sold several properties with other agents, and sold the last two with Lin. I can only say that I wish I'd found her sooner! I live out of state and she made the process seamless. She took on these listings (each with its own issues) and she sold both properties at (and above) asking price. She is incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, and very pleasant to work with! I strongly recommend working with Lin, have already recommended her to family, and will definitely list with her again. Thank you so much, Lin!!”

“Our agent, Michael Diniz, was professional and extremely knowledgeable. Simply put, he's the best agent we've worked with. Selling our home had its challenges, but his persistence and urgency allowed our home to sell sooner than expected. I've used a few agents in the past, however, Michael is the only agent I'd refer to friends and family.”
