Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Locust’s rolling three-month snapshot shows a market with more options and steady movement. Active listings are up more than a third from a year ago, while homes sold have jumped by about three-quarters over the same period. Pending sales are also higher than last year, even though new listings have slipped slightly.
Prices are holding relatively firm in this environment. The typical home value is up nearly 5% year over year, while the median list price is only slightly higher than a year ago, reflecting some restraint from sellers. The average sale-to-list ratio has edged above 98%, and the share of homes selling above list has risen modestly from last year, suggesting buyers and sellers are finding common ground on pricing.
Time on market has lengthened, with the median days on market up sharply year over year and now close to three months, yet months of supply has moved down toward about four months, consistent with Locust’s seller-leaning conditions. Compared with last fall, more inventory is available and more deals are closing, but buyers generally have a bit more breathing room to make decisions. With these mixed signals of rising activity, firm values, and slower pace, both buyers and sellers in Locust can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent who knows how to navigate the local numbers and negotiate effectively.
Locust invites residents into a warm, close-knit community with easy access to parks and outdoor recreation, a growing mix of local shops and services, and a welcoming atmosphere that balances small-town charm with practical amenities.
Locust offers a quieter, close-knit alternative to larger neighbors like Charlotte and Concord, with a strong sense of local pride and steady growth along the NC 24/27 corridor. Residents appreciate that daily errands, from grocery runs to family dinners out, are increasingly convenient while traffic and pace of life remain manageable.
Community life centers around places like Locust City Park with its playgrounds, ball fields, and seasonal events that bring neighbors together. Families value access to Locust Elementary School and nearby West Stanly High School, while the Stanly County Public Library system supports lifelong learning and remote work needs. For outdoor time, residents can easily reach Morrow Mountain State Park on weekends or head toward Albemarle and Stanly County for additional recreation options.
New construction neighborhoods sit alongside established streets, giving buyers choices from starter homes to larger lots. Sellers benefit from interest driven by commuters looking for more space while staying within reach of Midland and Mount Pleasant.
With inventory and demand shifting seasonally, timing and preparation matter. Partnering with the right local real estate professional through Agent Pronto can help buyers move quickly on well-priced homes in Locust and help sellers position their property for maximum attention and value.

“Alivia was instrumental in finding a place to live for my long-distance move from Arizona. She went out of her way, driving many miles to video tour properties for me. Reaching out to landlords and property managers for various reasons, ensuring I received fair treatment. I highly recommend Alivia for all real estate needs, whether looking for a rental or purchase.”
“"Working with Katerina was amazing throughout my home purchase. She was always there whenever I needed help, keeping me informed and coordinating every step of the process. Her patience, responsiveness, and commitment made the entire experience much less stressful. I always felt supported and confident knowing she was looking out for my best interests. I couldn't have asked for a better agent and would gladly recommend her to family and friends."”
“Brody went above and beyond during the entire process. He started with a professional call with our whole family. He listened for what we were looking for and we were able to view some houses the next day. Throughout the buying process, Brody was thorough, sticking on our side, and adding expert advice during difficult situations. In all, he made sure we were comfortable, we were in the know, and he had exceptional communication through the entire process.”
“We can't say enough about Jonathan. Our home had been on the market for a year before he took over, and by that point our family was stressed, worn out, and unsure it would ever sell. Within roughly 50 days of working with Jonathan, it was sold. Jonathan brought a fresh perspective and a clear plan, but what made the biggest difference was how he handled us as people. He was patient with every question, empathetic about how draining the past year had been, and tireless in his efforts to get us to the finish line. He communicated consistently, and we always felt he had our best interests at heart. Because we live across the country, we couldn't be there to handle things in person, and Jonathan consistently went above and beyond to fill that gap. He looked after the property, coordinated and managed contractors, and kept the entire process moving smoothly on our behalf. He took on far more than we ever expected, and it gave us real peace of mind knowing our home was in such capable hands. He turned what had been an exhausting experience into something hopeful. If you're selling, especially if your home has been sitting on the market or you're managing a sale from out of state, Jonathan is the agent you want. Thank you, Jonathan, for everything you've done for our family.”
“Ethan and associate, Hunter were phenomenal! This was such a positive experience working with these two. They were really hard at getting us the best price. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone that will do right by them. If we ever decide to buy again we will definitely be coming to these two guys.”
“Jackie was there every step of the way with us! Very knowledgeable and was there for any questions we had. From start to finish Jackie made this process manageable and low stress”
“excelente en su trabajo,profesional la información que nos proporcionó y la ayuda que nos brindó a cualquier hora la buscaba y siempre estaba pendiente de todas nuestras dudas.”
“Kat was wonderful to work with! She helped my wife and I find the perfect home. She was patient with us as we wanted a lot of certain things and she stuck with it even after we look at 10 . She was amazing and we plan to have her in the future help us again!”
“Dena is absolutely AMAZING! She has been so patient with us throughout this entire 4-year journey, and we can finally say, WE DID IT! I truly don’t think I could have found a better realtor. Dena is more than someone who helps you find a home—she fights for you, stands beside you, encourages you, and makes sure you never feel like you’re going through the process alone. After four years, I honestly feel like I didn’t just gain a realtor—I gained a new friend. I’m so thankful for everything she has done for us and for never giving up on us. 10 out of 10, I would recommend Dena to ANYONE looking for a realtor! If you’re looking for someone who will truly have your back, check her out! Jeff Cook Realty is where it’s at! Thank you, Dena, for helping us finally make this dream a reality! The Adams Family.”
““Super Agent” Christen Ripoli When a job transfer opportunity to relocate from the Northeast to Monroe, NC presented itself to my husband, he traveled down to check out the jobsite and the overall area. In meantime, upon researching the town, I stumbled upon a video entitled, “Everything You Need to Know About Monroe, NC”, hosted by Christen Ripoli. I didn’t even realize she was a real-estate agent until the very end of the video when she referred to her contact information. I was so impressed with her knowledge of the area and just the way in which she captured every aspect of the town, almost like painting a picture with such clarity that I could literally see ourselves becoming a part of the Monroe community. Therefore, I connected Christen with my husband during his week-long visit. Unfortunately, it was the time of the biggest snowstorm in 20 years in this area, but that didn’t phase “Super Agent”, Christen! She met with my husband, listened (and heard) what we shared with her via email, text, and phone calls, and finally in person with my husband. Christen understood our needs immediately and shared them with each salesperson they met. Upon my husband’s return home, and our decision to accept the job transfer, we kept in contact with Christen, sharing properties that we found online. One of several reasons that we refer to Christen as “Super Agent” is because she truly went above and beyond her job duties by personally viewing the properties we had shown interest in, videotaping both the inside and outside of each home, contrasting and comparing each property, listing the pros and cons, then emailing all of this information to us, including the videos! It was like we were doing the walk-throughs right alongside her, but, in actuality, we were about 750 miles away. Now, that’s just pure dedication and the qualities of someone who truly loves their job. During the entire home-buying process, Christen availed herself to us, always willing to adjust her calendar to meet our needs, EVERYTIME! She stuck by our side even when we were awaiting the closing of her home in the Northeast, then she referred us to a beautiful newly built apartment complex in Monroe, where we resided temporarily until we finally chose our “Forever Home” (which we absolutely love, love, love!) in the charming Waxhaw Landing community in Monroe, NC. And, of course, Christen arrived at our closing with a lovely gift basket to include all our favorite things, including my blueberry wine…she remembered! Needless to say, if you’re in the market for a real estate agent who extends her whole self, including her bright smile, and shiny personality, Christen “Super Agent” Ripoli is, hands-down, the winner! Clay & Kat S. Waxhaw Landing, Monroe, NC”
“Julie is great to work with and we highly recommend her as a real estate professional! We moved to NC from out of state and found her through Home One. She responded within minutes and quickly was able to connect with us on our style. She also gave great advise on negotiating; stayed connected through the whole closing process; and provided great referrals for home services.”
“As a first time buyer, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect, but Savannah made the entire process smooth and stress-free. What truly sets her apart is their deep knowledge of the local market and their incredible communication. Whenever a tricky moment came up—like during our home inspection she handled it with absolute professionalism and expert advice. I would recommend to anyone in the area!!”
“It was a pleasure working with Debi throughout this transaction. She was professional, friendly, and easy to communicate with, and the process went very smoothly from start to finish. I really appreciated her professionalism and the positive experience throughout the transaction.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent! She and her entire team were absolutely amazing and somehow made every single part of the home-buying process look effortless. From showing us a home at the last minute to meticulously handling every detail of the paperwork and revisions, she was on top of everything. They even managed to schedule inspections at record speed and kept the entire process moving seamlessly. What impressed us most was how effortless they made everything feel on our end. We always felt like we were in great hands, and knowing that all the details were being handled gave us so much peace of mind. She was absolutely amazing, and we would highly recommend her and her team to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. We’re incredibly grateful for everything she did for us!”
“We had such a great experience working with Matt on our new construction home. From the beginning of the process through closing, Matt was knowledgeable, responsive, and always there to answer our questions and guide us every step of the way. We’re so excited to be in our new home and grateful to have had Matt helping us throughout the process. We highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to buy a home in the Wilmington, NC area!”
“We cannot say enough great things about our realtor, Seth! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond every expectation we had. Selling a home out of state can be stressful, but he made the entire process smooth, professional, and unbelievably fast. Within just one hour of listing our home, he secured a full cash offer, something we never imagined possible. His strategic approach, strong network, and expert negotiation skills turned what could have been a long process into an incredible success. Throughout the transaction, he kept us informed, answered every question promptly, and truly had our best interests at heart. We always felt like a priority, and his commitment to excellence was evident every step of the way. If you're looking for a realtor who works tirelessly for their clients, delivers outstanding results, and exceeds expectations in every way, look no further. We are beyond grateful for his hard work and would recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.”
“Rob was outstanding to work with in helping me sell our families property. His knowledge of the area and negotiating skills were excellent. I had tried other agents without much success. Rob was able to help guide me through the process since I was not very familiar with the listings and procedure. I would definitely use him again in the future.”
“Stacey was extremely professional throughout the process of selling our condo. She sent out weekly updates on buyer interest, and used that information to properly price and find a buyer quickly. I plan to use Stacey for future real estate projects.”
“I have trusted her for my family's houses as well as my own,She is very easy to work. I have been using her since I met her in 2018. Bought my town house from her as well as trusting her to sell my parents house and help them find a new home in the area that was more specific to there needs as they have become older.”
“I had an outstanding experience working with Daniel and his team throughout my homebuying journey. From the very beginning, Daniel was incredibly responsive; he returned my call the same day I reached out and took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for. His knowledge of the Concord market was evident, and he helped me negotiate a fair purchase price while providing valuable guidance every step of the way. He consistently kept me informed about conversations with the seller's agent, explained where we were in the process, and made sure I always knew what to expect next. One thing that really stood out was his patience and commitment. There was one home in particular that I visited more than 10 times before making my decision, and Daniel never made me feel rushed. He was always willing to meet me at the property, answer my questions, and help me work through any concerns until I felt completely confident moving forward. Beyond finding the right home, Daniel also made the entire process much less stressful by recommending trusted professionals for the inspection, home warranty, closing attorney, and other services. Having those reliable referrals saved me a great deal of time and gave me confidence that I was working with reputable companies. Throughout the entire experience, I truly felt that Daniel cared about me as a client and wanted what was best for me, not just to complete a transaction. He was attentive, knowledgeable, professional, and always quick to respond. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but I never felt like I was navigating the process alone. I highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. His dedication, expertise, and exceptional customer service made this a smooth and positive experience from start to finish.”
