Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Montgomery County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Inventory in Montgomery County has expanded, with active listings up about 11 percent month over month and nearly 5 percent year over year. New listings have also risen compared with last year, suggesting more homeowners are testing the market. At the same time, pending sales climbed sharply from August, even though closed sales are down more than 25 percent from a year ago, indicating some recent pickup in contract activity after slower prior months.
Pricing is adjusting alongside these shifts in activity. The typical home value is up more than 6 percent compared with last year and jumped over 8 percent just since August, even as the median list price has dipped month over month and is growing more moderately year over year. Homes are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market at 100 days and up significantly from both last month and last year, reinforcing that buyers have more time and leverage in negotiations.
Supply levels underline this dynamic, with months of supply now at 6.7, far above North Carolina’s 4.8 months and consistent with a buyer’s market reading on local conditions. Sellers are often pricing below their original expectations, reflected in an average sale-to-list ratio under 93 percent and no recent sales closing above list price. With these evolving trends, both buyers seeking value and sellers aiming to stand out can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a Montgomery County agent who understands this market.
Montgomery County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with abundant outdoor recreation, strong schools, affordable living, and growing opportunities for families and local businesses.
Montgomery County stands apart from larger nearby markets like Mecklenburg County and Wake County with its quieter pace, deep-rooted communities, and ready access to outdoor recreation. Towns such as Troy, Biscoe, Mount Gilead, and Candor offer a close-knit feel, where schools, churches, and local businesses anchor daily life.
The county is bordered by the Uwharrie National Forest, a major draw for hiking, camping, and mountain biking. Lake lovers appreciate the boating and fishing on Lake Tillery and the Pee Dee River, while golfers frequent Tillery Tradition Country Club. Families benefit from resources like Montgomery County Schools and the Montgomery County Public Library, and community events highlight the area’s strong agricultural heritage, particularly in Candor.
Commuters appreciate proximity to Randolph County and Moore County while still enjoying more affordable housing options and larger lots. Whether you are upsizing, downsizing, or considering land for a future build, local market conditions can shift quickly, especially near popular recreational areas and in-town neighborhoods.
Having the right real estate agent is key to timing your move, preparing your property, and positioning your offer or listing competitively.

“In this somewhat challenging home sale market, Christian was on top of, or ahead of us during each phase of the process. From listing preparation, marketing, offer negotiations and final closing support. I would highly recommend her if you're selling your home is Brunswick County.”
“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 had such a wonderful experience working with Matt while looking for a condo for my mom in the Cornelius area. He was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right place for her—not just making a sale. His response time was almost immediate, which made the entire process feel so much easier, and he was also genuinely fun to work with. What especially stood out was his attention to detail. My mom has some mobility issues, and Matt was very thoughtful about making sure we focused on properties that would truly work for her and meet all of her needs. He listened carefully, understood what mattered, and helped us focus on properties that were the right fit for her. Matt also went well beyond simply showing us properties. He spent a tremendous amount of time researching the condos we were interested in, including carefully reviewing the HOAs and helping us understand whether they appeared well-managed and financially sound. That level of due diligence gave us so much more confidence as we considered different options. He also spent a great deal of time working with my brother and sister-in-law, showing them properties and helping our entire family navigate the search. He was always patient, accommodating, generous with his time, and willing to dig deeper whenever we had questions. Ultimately, my mom decided to move to Louisville to be closer to me, but I am so grateful for all of the time, guidance, research, and support Matt gave our family throughout the process. Even though our search did not result in a purchase in North Carolina, his commitment to helping us never wavered. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a realtor in the Cornelius/Lake Norman area. He is professional, kind, attentive, thorough, and fun to work with, and it is clear that he genuinely cares about the people he serves.”
“I very, very Highly Recommend, Melanie of AllYork Realty. When I began the process of looking for a home, Melanie listened to me as I let her know in detail all the things that were important to me in my new home. She found homes for me to view that were an extremely good fit. Soon we celebrated the day when I closed on my Perfect new Home. She patiently, professionally, and swiftly handled any issues I had before and during the closing. Melanie and her team were a blessing during this whole process.”
“Brett and Caitlin helped us find the perfect house and sell our house quickly. We were looking for something very specific. Even when we got discouraged by what was available, Brett and Caitlin kept researching and found a great place for us. When it was time to sell, they went above and beyond with staging and photos and were able to sell our house quickly.”
“Amber Honeycutt's reputation is what originally caught my eye and I wasn't disappointed. I was really impressed by her knowledge of the housing market and how she relied on her experience to position us competitively. She put us on a great price, based on comps and our home sold really fast! Her market knowledge is exceptional and she set realistic expectations for when the house would sell and for how much!!!! If you want experience in your corner and a strong negotiator down the stretch, then she's the agent you need to call.”
“thank u for everything and helping me along the way.”
“Josh was great to work with, very respectful of what we as sellers wanted, knowledgeable and prompt at returning information and keeping me up to date with the process. I would recommend Josh to anyone trying to sell their house under any circumstance”
“I recently closed on my first home, a beautiful new construction, and I could not have asked for a better realtor than Kimberly! From the very beginning, Kimberly brought incredible energy, professionalism, and positivity to the entire process. What could have been a stressful experience felt seamless because she was always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and keep everything moving forward. The process moved quickly, and I always felt informed and supported every step of the way. Beyond being an outstanding realtor, Kimberly became like family throughout this journey. She genuinely cared about helping me find the right home and celebrating this exciting milestone with me. Her dedication, knowledge, and enthusiasm made all the difference. I am so happy with my new home and incredibly grateful for everything Kimberly did to help make this dream a reality. If you're looking for a realtor who will go above and beyond for you, I highly recommend Kimberly!”
“Matia came highly recommended by several of our family members when we were planning our move from Maryland to North Carolina — and she absolutely exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, she made us feel like a top priority and worked tirelessly to help my family and me find the right home. She personally visited neighborhoods, thoroughly researched properties, and handled every detail you could think of. The entire process from day one through closing was incredibly smooth. This was our second time buying a home, and it was truly a flawless experience. I highly recommend reaching out to her if you’re looking for someone who is dedicated, responsive, and fully committed to her clients.”
“Working with Michael to buy our first home was an incredible experience. From start to finish, he was responsive, reliable, and respectful. As first-time buyers, we had a lot to learn, and Michael took the time to explain every step of the process clearly and patiently, making sure we always felt informed and confident. He was consistently available when we had questions and truly made us feel supported throughout the entire process. We couldn’t be happier with our new home and highly recommend Michael to anyone—especially first-time buyers looking for someone they can trust.”
“Carolyn was great!!! She gave me all the resources to help me choose the right location. She definitely fights for her clients; which I loved about her she made sure that the house was up to par. She made sure that I understood everything before I signed the papers l. Even gave me advise on what to look out for in the future even with my personal life. She was great and I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home!”
“As a first time homebuyer, there are a lot of uncertainties and stressors that result from this long process. I was fortunate enough to have not only the strong technical expertise, but friendly and resolute nature of Ms. Fowler to assist me through this process. I recommend her services to anyone who is in the market for it, she's the best! Thanks Erin!”
“Straton was everything a homeowner could ask for in an agent. His knowledge of local markets and strategies is outstanding. Straton guided me through the process of selling my home, from start to finish. He often went out of his way to ensure that I had what I needed to prepare my house for sale, even physically participating in some simple repairs. He was always quick to respond to my questions and concerns. His negotiating skills with buyer's agents were brilliant and instrumental in obtaining my original asking price for my home. His honesty, easy manner, and genuine concern for the interest of his clients sets him apart from his peers. I would surmise that he is a credit to his agency and his profession.”
“Glynis Giles was absolutely amazing to work with! She went above and beyond at every step, providing great advice, doing extra research on properties, and truly representing my best interests. Thanks to her, I found exactly the home I was hoping for. Highly recommend!”
“I had wonderful experience with Vicki Buss as my realtor. She help me through the whole process from the start to the end! I'm very happy with the out come and for all her help! Thank you so much!!”
“Throughout our home buying and selling process, Jen was incredibly communicative. She promptly answered texts and emails, keeping us informed about every development. Also, her ability to clearly explain the home inspection report and contract details was very much appreciated. We also had an opportunity to work with Barrie and she is just as great! They make an awesome team. I would refer them to anyone who needs a realtor!”
“Working with Sheila was like working with a Manhattan law firm but with a Mayberry attitude. We experience many people in our lives, but no one as dedicated to their profession. If there is a 5 star rating, I would give her a 7. We can't thank her enough for her friendly hometown attitude. Thanks again, Monica & Tim Gordon”
“I can't say enough good things about Doni. She was amazing to work with when we bought our first home, while other agents didn't seem to want to take on our smaller budget. When it came time to sell, we knew that we could rely on Doni to be honest and work to get us the best possible outcome. At all times, she surpassed our expectations, immediately communicated as things occurred, worked with our changing schedule, and made difficult life changes so much smoother. Doni is not only a great agent, but an all around amazing person and we were very luck to have found her.”
“My experience working with Nick to buy my first ever home was nothing short of amazing! I told him exactly what I was looking for and he made it happen!
