Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Inventory in New Bern has expanded in this rolling three-month view, with about 474 active listings and 254 new listings coming to market. Even with more homes available than a year ago, sales volume has eased, with 223 homes sold and pending sales also down compared with last year. Months of supply has climbed sharply year over year to 3.3 months, moving conditions closer to balance even though it is still categorized as a seller’s market.
Prices have been edging upward despite the slower sales pace. The typical home value over the past three months is about $342,000, up more than 5 percent from a year earlier, while the median list price is slightly higher and has grown at a similar rate. This combination of rising prices and softer demand suggests sellers still have pricing power, but buyers have more options and negotiating room than in recent years.
Homes are taking longer to sell than they did a year ago, with the median days on market jumping from around three weeks last June to nearly two months now, even though the share selling above list price has dipped from roughly 22 percent to about 17 percent. The average sale-to-list ratio is holding near 98 percent, indicating most sellers are still achieving close to their asking prices. With mixed signals on pace, pricing, and inventory, both buyers and sellers in New Bern can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting them with a local real estate agent who understands these trends.

If you want a knowledgeable, proactive, and genuinely caring agent, look no further than her! She is the best there is!”

“Kevin and The Sold by Starkey Team were phenomenal! As first time homebuyers who had very little idea of the process, but had properties already in mind, Kevin was able to jump right in getting us information and putting offers in. Him and Autumn were involved in every step of the process, handling as much of the communication as they could and providing guidance in times of uncertainty, which took a lot of the stress off our shoulders. We will 100% be recommending them to everyone!”

“Ava from Century 21 was absolutely fantastic to work with. She went above and beyond to help us find the right home and secure a great deal. For over two months, she patiently guided us through the process and never hesitated to travel up to an hour from her office so we could explore homes across the area. Her dedication, professionalism, and genuine care made all the difference. We’re truly grateful for her hard work and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top‑tier realtor.”
Century 21 The Realty Group
“I've known Bill Lumpp for years and observed his personal, social and business practices from the outside. When time to select an agent I felt Bill would be the most transparent individual to represent us in the sell of our house. He gave solid pre-listing recommendations of what to "fix" and what to not worry about along with setting a realistic yet agressive price that attracted potential buyers immediately. Once under contract, Bill guided us, again providing direction on how to respond to unrealistic requests or counter-offer to our advantage. The whole process went much smoother than I had ever envisioned. Bill is very knowledgeble about an amazing amount of facets within the real estate business and is very fair when time to negotiate. Give Bill Lumpp a chance if you are ready to sell and you won't regret it.”
Pink Flamingo Realty LLC

“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!”
Century 21 Triangle Group
